Artist Feature: I Fight Fail


Written by Jade Marshall

I Fight Fail is a Alternative/ POP Rock band that consist of Andy Potter (vocalist), Anthony Carter (drummer), Zach Negulis, and Daryl Johnson (both guitarist). They have making music since 2006 and the band found their sound in 2013. This band stands out because their sound is completely their own. They have grown in popularity recently because they have been in some major magazines, and have shared the stage with big names. This band has shared the stage with Machine Gun Kelly, POP Evil, Breathe Carolina, Tonight Alive, and many more. A few magazines they’ve been in are Alternative Press, Substream Music Press, and Shockwave Magazine.

The band has two Eps out, the first being Move Me and the second being Voyages And Vantage Points. The first Ep caught attention of record labels which helped put out the second Ep. The second Ep got listeners and critics noticing the band in good ways. Shockwave Magazine wrote, “I Fight Fail had done something different within their genre.” Their releases give you a look into what they are feeling, what emotions they are dealing with. The band says their inspiration can easily be a situation they are going through or where they want to be one day. Sometimes they use metaphors based around conspiracies and things going on in the world. Their most recent tour was in March with Chin Up, Kid.

This artist stands out because they let into what they are feeling, on how they interpret things happening in the world. This is a band that wants people to feel the music and really connect. You won’t be disappointed when you check them out. They give you music you can connect to and you’ll want to listen to it on repeat.

Tyler Carter "Pressure" Single Review

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

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

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...
