Music Video/Single Review: Johnnie Guilbert "Afraid"

By
Written by Jade Marshall
Johnnie Guilbert released his song "Afraid" off his upcoming EP I Could Sleep Here, I Could Die Here.He also released a music video alongside the song on June 15, 2018. Johnnie is an up and coming YouTube artist with two other EP’s out. The first being Not So Perfect, and the one before the newest one Lost.

There are no actors in the video it is just Johnnie himself. I think the song is about him being afraid of what he’d do if he was alone for too long. He knows that he wouldn’t go too far, but there is still somber things he can regret. The video opens up to Johnnie in a room and it follows him to different rooms with different face makeup. In one shot his face is painted like a skeleton, in another his face is painted with splattered blood and he’s in a straight jacket, and in a different one he is laying on the ground with his regular makeup on.

The video and song matched, the song was sad, slow, and serious and the different spots Johnnie took us, you could tell he was feeling the song. This video is like some of his other ones, they all seem to follow Johnnie on an adventure. This video was very creative and fun, but be warned the effect he used gave me a headache but that just might of been me. It’s a very good video and I ten out of ten recommend.

Tyler Carter "Pressure" Single Review

By
Written by Jade Marshall  A new single “Pressure” by Tyler Carter was released on June 28th. My overall opinion of this song is that it's a really good release. The song is great and it is such a beautiful song in a strange yet wonderful way, it’s one of a kind. The beginning of the song stood out, because you hardly hear the beat in the background but you hear his voice quite strongly, it’s really beautiful. The chorus itself is prominent, as it is saying that he needs someone who will take him as him and not put all this extra pressure on him for not being who they want. “I remember when you told me/I should go back to the old me/Before the Taylor's and the tattoos/Before the Perignon and OG.” This part stands out because it opens ups the song up and tells you right off the back what he wants. “I'm frankensteinin' they wanna put me back in the lab/If I'm gonna be grinding, if I'm gonna be making this skrill/I'm gonna do it my way, bitch get out of ...

Artist Feature: EXNATIONS

By
Written by Alexis Hodo Indie/pop trio EXNATIONS released their third single, ‘Blank White’ as a final introduction to their first EP Tiny Sound in the Dark . Based out of New York, EXNATIONS have been together for a year and will welcome their first EP into the world on August 24. I wasn’t sure what to expect with their latest single ‘Blank White’ considering I have never heard of the band before. Judging from their neon artwork, slightly reminding me of The 1975, I figured they would have an indie sound to them. The single does well for the vibe of EXNATIONS following their other singles ‘Can’t Get Hurt’ and ‘Never About the Money’ which hold the same sound as ‘Blank White.’ They are different enough in that they showcase the band holds variety in their sound, but similar enough to tell the songs stem from the same project. What I like about ‘Blank White’ is the fun boppy intro the song provides listeners with. After I hear “At the Blank White of the moon” I truly ju...

Atlas Genius concert review

By
Hello! I have been gone for a while because I'm a lot busier now that I'm in school, but I have a lot of concerts coming up so I will be posting more frequently. I went back to Bottom Lounge in Chicago on October 5th to see Atlas Genius. I do like their music a lot, but I wouldn't consider myself a huge fan. I honestly wanted to go mostly because I fell in love with Bottom Lounge when I was last there to see Andrew McMahon. I always end up liking the opening acts they bring in and I love the intimate atmosphere. I hope to continue going there to discover new music. Half The Animal The first band that opened was Half The Animal. I had never even heard of them before and had no clue what they sounded like. As soon as they started I really got into them. They have an indie-pop sound, which is something I've started appreciating more recently. The lead singer, Chase Johnson, had an incredible amount of energy. He was dancing and getting into the music and the energy fr...
