What do movies and shows like Lost and Jurassic Park—and also an exciting upcoming film—have in common with Hawaii’s Kualoa Ranch?
Riffy, grungy, raw, genuine; these are only some of the words that come to mind when trying to describe The Word Alive’s fourth studio album, Dark Matter. But they fail to do justice to what may very well be their strongest release to date.
In a world of alternate Londons, cross-dressing thieves, and coats with more than two sides, Kell’s multi-colored eyes still stand out in V.E. Schwab’s A Darker Shade of Magic.
Listening to new music can sometimes feel like déjà vu; many bands tend to stay within the comfortable bubble of their genre. Waterparks’ EP Cluster burst that bubble and the outcome is five songs that are both refreshing and infectious.
The latest episode of Man Of The Hour kicks off with Ricky Gervais and atheism, leads into talk about cat parent problems, and wraps up with Seb and Pat making plans for a Star Wars date.
Sleeping With Sirens joined the already-stacked lineup of A Day To Remember, Chiodos, and Motionless In White for a special stop on the Parks & Devastation Tour in Chicago.
Love You In The Dark, the first solo effort of Now, Now’s Brad Hale, slides seamlessly from repetitively somber to ecstatic within the span of a few songs and explores all manners of human strength and weakness. It manages to find the gaps in the armor of humankind in the most delicate way possible, which is often a considerable feat for seemingly innocuous pop or electronic music.
With a sound that calls to mind the likes of The Black Keys, The White Stripes, and Kasabian, Orthodox is one of those records that is meant to be heard live in the middle of a rowdy crowd on a hot Saturday night in some too-cramped club.
Slingshot Dakota pack an impressive punch considering the band consists of just two members: Carly Comando covering vocals and keyboards and Tom Patterson on percussion. The duo’s most recent release, Dark Hearts, transitions between plaintive songs that hang in the air residually like life’s difficult questions and fiercer, more gritty anthems enveloping Comando’s clear voice.
