Jessica’s Favorite Albums of 2015
December 30, 2015It’s been a rough year personally for me and one of the things that suffered the most was UBL. I didn’t attend as many concerts and found myself unable to muster the motivation to listen to new music on the regular. When it finally came to compiling a list of my favorite albums of the...
Jessica’s Favorite Performances of 2015
December 28, 20152015 was not an easy year which means that UBL took a backseat. I reviewed a lot less albums and attended half as many shows as last year. While I missed some concerts that I would have loved to see, I did get to see a lot of bands that have been on my concert bucket...
Album Review: Moñecho – Past Waters/Fever Lives
December 15, 2015Williamsport, Pennsylvania native, Matthew Serra, blends numerous musical genres to create a debut album that will challenge you to categorize his music as anything other than ethereally beautiful. Serra, who performs under the moniker Moñecho (pronounced moh-NYEH-koh), put the album together with only the help of one mastering engineer. Every instrument and vocal you hear...
Album Review: Hot Mulligan – Honest & Cunning
December 12, 2015I’ve been diving into the tag system of Bandcamp to help me discover more music. I recently stumbled across Save Your Generation Records’ page, which just happens to be based out of Detroit, picked a random album to listen to and have had said album on repeat ever since. Hot Mulligan mixes...
Single Review: Gosh Pith – Gold Chain
December 9, 2015A band’s live performance can make or break your opinion of them. Admittedly, one of my favorite things about going to a concert is getting to check out some new to me bands and, hopefully, discovering new music to fall in love with. I’ve been exposed to a lot of home grown acts since starting...
Concert Review: Young Rival and Born Ruffians
December 7, 2015December 2, 2015: The Loving Touch, Ferndale
I’ve been a Born Ruffian since I first heard “Little Garçon” off their album Red, Yellow & Blue back around 2008 but it wasn’t until the release of their 2013 album, Birthmarks, that Born Ruffians really sank their hooks into me. I listened to the album non-stop and still find myself revisiting...
Album Review: Backpacks – Still Life
December 4, 2015Interview with Backpacks
December 1, 2015If you haven’t used Bandcamp to discover new music yet then you’re really missing out. I can’t count the number of bands that I’ve discovered by spending hours clicking around the site. That’s how I discovered the musical stylings of Mount Pleasant, Michigan foursome, Backpacks. I was hooked for the opening of the...
Album Review: Dream Chief – Movement EP
November 26, 2015In my struggle to keep things coming out on the regular, I managed to miss a promised review from an interview I did with electro-pop duo, Dream Chief, from all the way back in September. Looking to right that wrong, I went back and gave the Movement EP a listen. It only...
Album Review: Connie Constance – In the Grass
November 23, 2015Singer-songwriter and self-declared ‘organized hippy’ Connie Constance is just on the brink of being the next big thing and it’s no surprise why. With help from producer Blue Daisy, Constance has crafted some impressive tracks that make up her debut EP, In the Grass.

Concert Review: We Are the City, Eisley, and Copeland
November 19, 2015November 14, 2015: The Crofoot, Pontiac
Eisley has been one of my favorite bands for quite some time now. While I’ve always been a fan, it was the release of their album, The Valley, that cemented their place among my all time favorite bands of all time making their live show a must see whenever...
Concert Review: Brothertiger, Gosh Pith, and JR JR
November 15, 2015November 13, 2015: Royal Oak Music Theatre, Royal Oak
There’s nothing like a concert that you’ve been looking forward to for months to get you through a crappy week. It’s been a big year for JR JR as their new self-titled album has started to garner the talented duo some overdue attention on national airwaves....
Album Review: Tim Korenich – What A Weird Thing
November 13, 2015It’s been eight months since I used Tim Korenich’s single, “Darlin’,” to help me beat the winter and procrastination blues. Now his new album, What a Weird Thing, is helping me get back on track again. Life has become a bit stressful these days and Korenich’s album is just what I needed to take...
Concert Review: Tigers Jaw, New Found Glory, and Yellowcard
November 8, 2015November 5, 2015: Saint Andrew’s Hall, Detroit
There’s nothing like a show that’s filled to the brim with nostalgia and excited fans to help lift your spirits and remind you why you enjoy going to concerts in the first place. It’s been a rough year concert wise, mostly because I just seem to have no energy...
