Breaking news! Green Day released their first single in two years! Okay…maybe this news isn’t exactly breaking, but I just got around to listening to “Oh Love” off of Green Day’s upcoming album ¡Uno! the other day. The fact that I didn’t even listen to the song, released on July 16th, until mid August really says something. When I tried to think of a few words to describe “Oh Love”, ‘average’ and ‘meh’ immediately came to mind….

“Let’s Go” – Matt & Kim new single!
Matt and Kim’s new single “Let’s Go” is available now and is a mixture of their original indie pop summery beats and calming vocals. The ooh’s and ahh’s definitely make the track do what it does best; it makes you want to get into your car, drive, roll your windows down, and “not care”. Which is, coincidentally, what the lyrics state Matt & Kim want to do. Have a listen and check out the video…

Review of III by Family Force 5
III’s album cover I stumbled upon Family Force 5 when I got lost at Warped Tour in 2007, and it was one of the best mistakes I’ve ever made. Made up of three brothers and two close friends, they “formed” in 1993 but have been releasing beats since 2004. III (pronounced “The Third” or just “Three”) is their fifth studio album, and their first releasing brand new music since 2008’s Dance…

Musical Ladder: Mike Dirnt to Bessie Smith
It may be hard to believe, but Green Day’s Mike Dirnt turns forty years old today. In honor of the iconic bassist hitting the big 4-0 I decided to construct a “ladder” connecting Mr. Dirnt to 1920’s blues powerhouse Bessie Smith. I mean hey, why not have some fun to celebrate a milestone in the life of a member of one of the most fun bands on the planet? Mike Dirnt Any punk fan, or even any serious music fan for…

Having toured with acts such as Laura Marling, Noah and the Whale and Mumford and Sons, he has already been recognised as having some serious talent. The great thing about him is that after all that he still…
Born To Die – Lana Del Rey
I’m sure you’ve heard Lana Del Rey’s name floating about the music scene for a while now – but it is only recently that her songs have drifted into my ears in a chilling way. This is especially weird as she has actually been on the music scene since 2008, but not under “Lana Del Rey”. You may have heard of her as “Lizzy Grant” – her real name. With this name she released…
