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 […]
Re-inventing music with Uno Prism’s ‘Into Place’
From the heart of Scotland, Uno Prism has arisen to save us all from the mundane and the clones in the music industry. Originality should be a given in art however modern music is proving to be one carbon copy after another. Emma Welsby, know better as Uno Prism, has created something out of this […]
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 […]
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 […]
Two halves make an EP with Son of William’s Colour of Love
Some people believe in soul mates, someone else who holds the answers to your questions and vice versa, another person who can somehow complete you. What people seem to forget is that these people do not only exist in romance. They exist in friendship, partnership but also in music. After finding success in their own […]
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 […]
