Album Review: Foxture – EDEN
December 5, 2017Sometimes there’s nothing I love more than putting my headphones on and letting the rest of the world melt away while I get completely lost in an album. Not just any album will do. For me to truly be swept away from reality I need an album that completely envelopes me. My latest soundtrack for...
Album Review: Ghost Town Remedy – Caffeine Dreams
October 3, 2017Grief is a tricky thing. It takes various shapes and forms and can often hit us in ways we don’t see coming. It has this way of pushing us to the darkest parts of who we are and taking away the things that make us feel anything other than loss. Ghost Town...

Mo Pop Festival 2016: Day 2
August 14, 2016The morning of day two of Mo Pop Festival was much different than that of day one. First off, it was raining which helped cool it down a bit (though the humidity still felt a bit ridiculous). Secondly, my mood had done a complete 180 after a day packed with amazing performances. I no longer had to...
Album Review: The Happy Alright – Vacancies EP
February 18, 2016As a thirty-something fan of pop-punk, I find myself often rolling my eyes at other music enthusiasts who seem to think that I’m a little old for the genre.

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 was hooked for the opening of the...
