Single Review: Palaye Royale "Death Dance"

By

Written by Jade Marshall
Rock band Palaye Royale has released a new music video for “Death Dance” on August 6th. The band consist of three brothers; Remington Leith (vocals), Emerson Barrett (drums), and Sebastian Danzig (guitar). This song is off of their next album, Boom Boom Room Side: B. The music video is an art video for the song.
The song is about our time and how all of our values have changed over the years, “We live in an age where sex and horror are Gods/ We live in an age where all our bodies are flawed.” In those lyrics it shows the horror of what this generation finds acceptable. The video itself contains different pieces of art to form the video. They sometimes form words out of magazine clippings, it seems. The song and video go perfectly together. They choose art that goes directly with the lyrics. Palaye Royale knows how to make a video aesthetically pleasing.
I really liked the video. I thought the song and video matched perfectly.This video is similar to the video for My Youth Generation off of Boom Boom Room Side: A. I believe this was a very creative idea and it’s very unique. My overall opinion on the video is that it is a great video and it deserves all of the love it has received. It’s a 10/10 video.

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...
