The Story Of The Smallgoods’ “Satellite”
I had never heard of The Smallgoods before I was asked to review their new single, “Satellite”. Once I did, I was very glad that the assignment came across my desk. Listening to the song, I was reminded of the Beatles. That may seem like too high of praise, but this band truly channels the […]

Explore Love and Loss in March with Late Cambrian’s “February”
With the semester a little over halfway through for most college students, I can’t but be brought back to freshman year — a time filled with all sorts of memories such as new friends, new teachers, and watching so many high school relationships that didn’t make it through that first year. Late Cambrian — a male […]
The Story of Matthew Pinder’s “Golden Hour”
There’s a certain type of stillness that comes right before inevitable loss. I think people are generally pretty bad at dealing with bittersweet endings, but really good at drawing them out. Messy breakups often take weeks or months to really subside, and even the most mutual ones take a while to wade through. The last […]
Trying to Figure Out Gamma Dog’s “Hear Them Coming”
We all have that friend who dislikes a certain song or band because they believe the lyrics “make no sense.” “Well then you’re just not thinking about it enough,” is usually my response. Gamma Dog’s “Hear Them Coming” is one such songs. The main drive comes from the lyrics, and these lyrics are definitely not […]
Henry Jamison – The Story of “In March”
Spring break, 2018. Five of my friends and I were just about to leave Florida and go back to our lives at college in Nashville, and we had used the last hour of our trip to “take cute photos on the beach” outside the condo we had rented. When the camera memory card was full, […]

Living Vicariously through littleDEATH’s “Losemyhead”
littleDEATH surprised me. I guess you can’t completely judge a book by its cover or a band by its name. Right away I thought, “This is not my genre.” I joke about being punk. I am not. At all. I love a good pop-punk number riddled with teen-angst. But if you took one look at […]
I’ll admit it: I still like Coldplay
The pop cultural rules of musical taste are as follows: If you unironically play “Wonderwall” by Oasis on guitar at a party, you deserve no respect. Nickelback may not actually be that bad, but you’re never allowed to say that. Ever. Hating Coldplay is the easiest way to display your dominance in a room. With […]
