concert review

All photos are by Jenn Noga  The Driver Era just finished their third stop on their world tour at the Agora Theater in Cleveland this past week, accompanied by Moontower and The Wrecks. This was my first time at the Agora, and also my first concert in general. That being said, I loved the entire […]

All Photos by Jenn Noga The energy of a Smallpools show can only be described as lightning in a bottle. Something truly electric and something you’ll want to hold onto forever. Now, to be perfectly honest, I had only ever heard two Smallpools songs (Million Bucks and People Watching in case you were wondering), and […]

Cleveland, Ohio was the sixth stop for headliner Echosmith and special guests Weathers and Jayden Bartels on their 2020 expedition, ‘The Lonely Generation Tour’. As someone who saw Echosmith as an opening band on the 2015 ‘Blurryface Tour’, I knew to expect one thing: a pink umbrella. But let me start from the beginning. The […]

All photos by Nolan Shumate Wilco has been a band for longer than I’ve been alive, and it shows.  To peel back the curtain a little bit, this was the first show I ever covered.

I’ve listened to my fair share of psychedelic rock. I can listen to Jimi Hendrix and Cream with the best of them. If you ask me about Pink Floyd, I could go on for an hour about how “Atom Heart Mother” should be their most celebrated piece of work, but that’s a story for another […]

Last Thursday American Authors graced the student green with an hour-long set, featuring their old and new hits alike. They were welcomed as part of Kent State University’s Flash Fest – our annual spring festival – and they didn’t disappoint. Most known for their single, “Best Day of My Life” which was strategically placed at the […]

by Augusta Battoclette (casual fan) and Jessie Roos (superfan) Augusta Battoclette Ed Sheeran came on stage by himself in Pittsburgh last Saturday night after openers Anne Marie and Snow Patrol each respectively got the crowd warmed up in their sets. Armed with just a foot loop pedal, his guitar, his voice and a microphone, Sheeran […]
