Not always being up to date with the latest consoles has allowed me to recently indulge in some forgotten video games that were true favourites growing up. Playing the games now has allowed my enjoyment to move beyond the games themselves to appreciate the effort put into their creation with, of course, a specific focus […]

From the Vault: The Hush Sound
Much like The Brobecks, The Hush Sound is a semi recent discovery that has consumed me like I have been listening to them for years. Since The Hush Sound received their own ‘Discovering’ post a few months back, I want to draw attention and give appreciation to an album of theirs that became a fast […]
Party Playlist
With the summer holidays finally upon us for some and just around the corner for others, most of us are probably ready to let all inhibitions go and have a well over due celebration. Whether it be a sizzling BBQ, getting ready for prom, psyching up for graduation or just wanting to unwind after a […]
The beginning of the Highest Hopes Foundation
Almost a year ago, not long after I took over the management of this blog, I published a post titled ‘Girls/Girls/Boys: LGBT anthem or insult? The debate.’ The post explored some of the issues fans of Panic! At the Disco had with their song ‘Girls/Girls/Boys’ but overall concluded that it has done much more good. […]
Hey Look Ma, Panic! At The Disco’s brand new album Pray for the Wicked
When Pete Wentz was quoted describing Pray for the Wicked as ‘Death of a Bachelor on steroids’, I personally worried we would end up with either cutting room floor songs or a recycled album. However, ‘Say Amen (Saturday Night)’ floored me and gave some understanding into exactly what ‘Death of a Bachelor on steroids’ means. […]
From the Vault: Alanis Morissette
Just because I am currently too overwhelmed by Pray for the Wicked to review it right now, I want to draw attention to another ground-breaking album that helped me through some really tough times. Everyone knows the nineties didn’t really end until about 2006 but I was still late to the party in 2011 when […]
Our prayers have finally been answered with Panic! At the Disco’s ‘King of the Clouds’
With Pray for the Wicked only two days away, how could we really be asking for anymore from Panic! At the Disco? Yet, fans have shown a growing displeasure (mixed with unwavering support of course) concerning a certain single that has been teased on not one but two separate occasions. Arguably the one that started […]
Discovering William Beckett
Heading into the summer months, the countdown to find tunes that can make the hot days more of a breeze is on. Music that is easy on the ears and embodies the carefree spirit of summer. Enter the treasure of William Beckett, the kind of musician you love or have just yet to have heard. […]
From the Vault: The Brobecks
Technically, this blog post would probably fit better under the ‘Discovering’ series however The Brobecks are yet another example of music that went underappreciated during it’s time. Fans of I Don’t Know How But They Found Me (IDKHow) and Panic! At the Disco will know The Brobecks as one of Dallon Weekes’ first ventures into […]
Dommin release new single ‘Beautiful as a Stranger’
In the music world, sometimes its difficult for musicians to remain true to who they are and must sacrifice their art for popularity. As upsetting as it can be for fans, we cannot truly blame them for conforming to further their careers. All we can do is hope that they find enough success to return […]
Five Finger Death Punch – And Justice for None album review
Released on May 18th of this year, time was needed to fully digest and pick apart Five Finger Death Punch’s seventh studio album And Justice for None. It’s no secret that the Las Vegas heavy metal band have always been a topic of controversy, even amongst their fans, leading to mixed reviews about the direction […]
Earth through psychedelic eyes with The Statue Thieves’ Laniakea
From the LCD laced waters of 1967, The Statue Thieves have arrived with their album Laniakea, a forty-minute psychedelic journey across planes you thought you knew. The Statue Thieves have created something out of this world whilst exploring the world we are all killing time on. Wanting to put out something that captures the hypnotic […]
