ALBUM REVIEW: MS MR – How Does It Feel
MS MR return to give you another dose of indie pop music but this time with bolder synths and a heavy 80’s influence. “How Does It Feel” is the duo’s follow up to the 2013 LP “Secondhand Rapture” and with the new territory comes a lot of comparison and critique. This record is a lot…

LIVE REVIEW: Twenty One Pilots – The Met
It’s become apparent that The Met probably isn’t the best live music venue with a strange set up that will have you with a restricted (and if at all any) view if you aren’t on the first of the three levels. With a sold out crowd on Saturday night if you weren’t lining up for…
SINGLE REVIEW: Demi Lovato – Cool For The Summer
Demi Lovato made it very well known that album number 5 was going to bring a Revisioned sound and image for the new era but no one was quite prepared for this. Sexy. Naughty. Fun. And a whole lot of attitude. “Cool For The Summer” is one of those songs you’re either going to love…
