Origami Angel reinvent themselves once again with an ode to a shitty summer vacation in “Thank You, New Jersey” via Counter Intuitive Records. The DC two-piece are constantly transforming. Last fall the duo released two EPs spanning across entirely different soundscapes, showing their versatility in song writing. With the acoustic re:turn, and hardcore DEPART, this new track snuggles right into the middle. It showcases the bands ability to highlight all the most coveted pieces of creating a good alternative rock song. The song is coated in the technical aspects of math rock, the confined chaos of hardcore, all while nodding… Read more »
It’s been nearly a decade since The All-American Rejects have toured and we have been crying in our cars to “Dirty Little Secret” patiently awaiting their return to the stage.

Dear Journal, It’s that time again: new year, new me! (Yeah, I know I’m super late but I’ve been busy.) Like I’ve done for the past few years, on December 31 I queued up a song on Spotify, ready to hit play as soon as midnight rolled around to make sure I started the year off with the right vibe. This year’s winner? The Maine with “Dirty, Pretty, Beautiful”, naturally. Obviously, you know I gotta rep my boys in The Maine always. But as I was scrolling through the artists I follow, I started thinking about what was missing from… Read more »
