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 […]
Saint Mars are continuing their fight against bullying with beautiful music video for ‘Somewhere Somebody’
Some messages can just never be said enough, issues that can never have too much awareness. One of these issues is something we have all felt in some capacity: bullying. In the playground, the workplace, children and adults are all vulnerable to the cruelty that can be inflicted by others. One of the main problems […]

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 […]
Breeding a new brand of rock star, Steele’s Paroxysm
Music is emotional, I believe that goes without saying but sometimes there are songs and albums that become a part of us until we can’t remember who we were without them and Steele’s Paroxysm has the potential to be such an album. The title of ‘music artist’ does not even begin to describe the dark […]
‘High Hopes’ is exactly what fans have for Pray for the Wicked
Any long-time readers of this blog will know that with all the havoc Panic! at the Disco have been creating, a Panic post was inevitable. From sending fans potatoes in the post to giving a flawless live recreation of ‘Say Amen (Saturday Night)’ on The Ellen DeGeneres Show; it’s all accumulated to the third single […]
Hitha is ‘Standing Up with Pride’
Nothing is perfect, no matter how hard we try. No amount of preparation or organisation can guarantee that things will play out exactly as planned. Taking on too much can become overwhelming, even as an adult, but as a teenager it can feel like the world is crashing around you. In the recent weeks I’ve […]
From the Vault: The Young Veins
After a week’s break from this blog, filled with nothing but countless hours of essay writing, I’m about ready for the summer to start, and I know I’m not the only one. The week away also gave me time to reflect and fall back into music that has been forgotten or, for some, never heard. […]
