‘Tis the season to make the most difficult choices I have to make all year. Seriously, my life is easy enough to make that statement true. I hate making these lists, more-so this year than any year previous. Yet I’m obligated to do so. So here I am. You see, in January, I told myself […]

Tarynn Law’s ‘Best of 2013’ In Music
December 12th, 2013 Tarynn Law To say that 2013 has been one hell of a year for music would be, well, the understatement of the year. The music community has been #blessed with some awesome new bands that weren’t around (or hadn’t released anything) prior to 2013 and are now making massive waves, some of which are in my top […]

Drew Caruso’s ‘Best of 2013’ In Music
December 10th, 2013 Drew Caruso As the year ends, I find myself shuffling through the albums I have accrued over the past months. Each album an experience, an insight gained, a lens changed, I have continually found myself lost in the art that encapsulated the sonic apotheosis of this past year. The experiences captured within these sounds provide themselves as […]

The 1975 Release 2014 North American Tour Dates
November 18th, 2013 Drew Caruso The 1975 are everywhere, as they well should be. With their fantastic debut album, and nonstop touring cycle, the band will continue their domination into 2014. Unfortunately missing their Massachusetts date on their last tour, you can be sure I will not be making the same mistake come this spring, for the band has given […]
FREE MP3: The 1975 – “Girls” (The Knocks Remix)
November 5th, 2013 James Shotwell It’s hard to find an alternative rock/pop music blog in existence that hasn’t hurt their hands writing about The 1975 in recent months. The UK outfit has quickly become a need-to-know group in the music world, and this morning the production team known as The Knocks has delivered a killer remix of one of their […]
LIVE REVIEW: The 1975 at LA’s Fonda Theater (11/1/13)
November 2nd, 2013 Sara Scoggins Some would compare The 1975’s steady stream of momentum to a small campfire that has quickly spread to an unavoidable forest fire. Once this thing caught, it grew fast. I have witnessed the band’s growth first hand; catching them at this year’s SXSW with about 30 people, to a sold out show at LA’s Troubadour […]

WATCH: The 1975 – “Girls”
October 23rd, 2013 Drew Caruso “Everything feels totally wrong…we’re not a pop band…it needs to be black and white for a start.” Arguably one of the fastest growing bands of 2013, The 1975, have released a music video for their newest single, “Girls,” and boy, what a single it is. The glorious visual pop expedition (although they are not a […]

STREAM: DWNTWN – “Chocolate (The 1975 cover)”
September 12th, 2013 Jacob Tender Call it a bandwagon, but the torrent of “Chocolate” covers tributing The 1975 has been greatly appreciated. This one in particular is pretty cool. It’s incredibly chill and plenty moody. It gives the vibe I got from my condescending ex-girlfriend when she first told me about her new guy “Steve.” (fuck you, Steve. handsome bastard…) Anyway, […]

August 30th, 2013 Adrian Garza The 1975 may be one of the biggest UK acts to emerge on our side of the pond, and that goes for a variety of reasons. With such a diverse and unique sound, this quartet sparks a lot of emotion through their personal brand of indie music. With less than a week left until the […]
