Cleveland, Ohio was the sixth stop for headliner Echosmith and special guests Weathers and Jayden Bartels on their 2020 expedition, ‘The Lonely Generation Tour’.

There’s no worse feeling than the moment of realization that you’re going to get a stuffy nose. The understanding that the next few days, or weeks, are going to be a miserable whirlwind of sniffling only makes you yearn for the time you took for granted– the majority of your life that you spent not […]

The Columbus duo released the third addition to the “Location Session” singles on Oct. 17, after several short audio clips surfaced online the night before. The remix features […]
Those who frequently attend concerts know the pain of camping culture. You know that huge line, wrapped around the building, around the block and into the parking lot three streets over? Yeah, the people at the first 1/3 of the line are who I’m talking about. The ones with tents, sleeping bags and trash littered […]
Title: A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships Artist: The 1975 Label: Dirty Hit Records Release Date: November 30, 2018 Rating: The first time I listened to The 1975’s new album, “A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships”, I was extremely disappointed.

Title: Glory Sound Prep Artist: Jon Bellion Label: Capitol Records Release Date: November 9, 2018 Rating: One thing’s for sure, Jon Bellion hasn’t lost his sound. That’d be too hard to do. After disappearing for two years, Bellion’s sophomore album “Glory Sound Prep” (also introduced to the media before its release as GSP) […]
As we approach the beginning of the holiday season, it’s not uncommon for you to see sweater-wearing girls throwing up fairy lights around their dorm room and by their window, or people in their dorms and apartments displaying festive images on their whiteboards and outside of their doors.
