Pop punk/emo trio The Region dropped their new single "In The Wind" on June 26th, 2018. With a perfect blend of classic pop punk/emo sound that is also one-of-a-kind, The Region showcases an impressive amount of creativity and talent on every song they produce. The band consists of Jake Cyprian (vocals/guitar), Phil Cyprian (bass/vocals), and Jon De St. Jean (drums). Some of the band's previous music collections include "Something Needs To Change" and "My Way Out", both of which show the band's incredible growth as musicians. "In The Wind" is no different, displaying the band's excellent lyricism and unique sound.

The first aspect of this song that really caught my attention was the beginning, where there is a melodic guitar in the background that really guides the music into the vocals. I think the guitar really gives an initial feel for the song and builds it up nicely. As mentioned previously, I really love The Region's lyrics in their songs. They are both honest and clever, and flow very well. The first thing I noticed about the lyrics in this song is that they follow a bit of a rhyme scheme. Honestly, this can be a turn off for me in some songs, because sometimes it can sound corny, but I think the band did a great job of using it for "In The Wind." The lyrics don't sound unoriginal or recycled. They are still poetic and flow nicely while also being unique and heartfelt. I think the lyrics also work well to guide the song and make it easier for the listener to relate to them. I also appreciate how the guitar and drums work together in this song to produce a pop punk style that we all know and love. They really carry the song, and even end it on a heavy/high note. The syncopated rhythm during the bridge is also a unique aspect of this song that I think works really well. 

Overall, this single contains various characteristics that stay true to The Region's fantastic lyrics, sound, and style. If you are looking for some new pop punk/emo music to listen to, this band is definitely for you. I am excited to see what they continue to produce in the future, so please check out their music, and follow them on social media!

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...
