Today we are heading out west with our headphones on to sunny California. There we find, who I like to consider, the Ben Howard of the states. His name is Séamus Scanlan and he seems to have a knack for creating soul-feeding, musical masterpieces. Though Séamus resides in San Diego, he is a born and raised... Continue Reading →
Making The Right Call: Pointless
New Jersey. When we think of the New Jersey music scene, specifically in regards to the punk/emo genre, what bands come to mind? We perhaps go back a bit to the band Lifetime. Then there’s Saves the Day, who for a lot of people were a huge influence and a forever favorite. Then we have... Continue Reading →

Staying Sad in Scranton: The Maguas
2020 was definitely a year for hardships and drastic change to our daily lives. We all handled it in different ways and though it’s hard to find some light through the dense fog that was 2020, we were given some absolutely brilliant music to get us through. Now, I could go on a tangent of... Continue Reading →
Silverstein – Out Of This World
It’s a gig, but not as we know it. Possibly the most overused and corny Star Trek trope ever, but you’ll forgive me for pulling it out of the bag for this one because Silverstein’s extra-terrestrial inspired ‘Out Of this World’ concert series is definitely not short on silliness, but still manages to deliver on...

Linkin Park – Twenty Years of Hybrid Theory
It's the year 2000. I’m in sixth form and by the quirks of being in a group of friends that are trusted by the staff we somehow have our own common room. Of sorts. We have tea and coffee making facilities, a sofa, some hastily re-upholstered stools, and a bunch of rails of costumes for... Continue Reading →
High Fidelity
High Fidelity is a book written by Nick Hornby and also a movie starring John Cusack. The book is set in London and the movie is set in Chicago. For the purposes of this article, we’re going to focus on the movie. It’s not for artistic reasons, I genuinely prefer the book, but I can... Continue Reading →
At The Gates – Slaughter of The Soul Turns Twenty Five
This is the most ripped-off Metalcore record of all time. This is one of the top three metal records of the nineties. This record is the reason the melodic Death Metal subgenre exists and is the innovating sound behind the extreme europian scene as we know it today. “Slaughter of the Soul” is so forward-thinking...
