Written by Harley Lewis
Recently, Ice Nine Kills released a song called "American Nightmare" and it is truly amazing. Ice Nine Kills are a band from Boston, Massachusetts, USA and currently consists of Spencer Charnas (vocals), Justin Debliech (guitar and vocals), and finally Justin Morrow (bass). The band have a touring drummer, Patrick Galante and a touring bassist that filled in for Justin, Ricky Armellino. The band formed in 2002 under the name Ice Nine but soon developed Kills into the band name.

Ice Nine Kills released their latest song along with a 12 minute long music video to go along with it. The band are releasing the new album in October under the name "The Silver Scream", and many fans cannot wait to see what happens in the next video. The band are trying out a new style and making their music videos as mini episodes that will tell a story by the end of it.

The lyrics themselves tell a story that the band are waiting for us to see and I always find that in Ice Nine Kills’ music, the bands lyrical structure is beautiful. The lyrics are full of meaning and would make amazing acoustic songs. If they were acoustic, they would probably get people emotional. The band tries their hardest and it shows on stage too. They put on the best performance they can for fans to hopefully get more fans along the way.

In the new song, they seem to be talking about how dreams will have a nightmare and how no matter what there is always a bad to a good situation and it is a good message to give out. The truth is that it is always going to rain at some point, no matter how hard you try to keep the sun up. It is impossible to have a dream without having a nightmare too. The American Dream always comes with an American nightmare and Ice Nine Kills are pointing that out which is great because it is the truth as I’ve said. I believe that Ice Nine Kills have outdone themselves with this song and I hope the album shocks me as much as this song did.

I cant wait to hear more music

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...
