Mend, Move On

Long-time readers may recognize a trend in my album reviews-- specifically, I tend to obsess over emo-adjacent albums with blue covers (IKHT, Combat, starling, some others). This article is no different.

Mend, Move On, released in 2014, is the first studio-length album from Australian melodic-hardcore-turned-pop-punk band Trophy Eyes, and as you may have gathered, I’ve had it on loop for about a month now. The album has a bit of everything, from its half heavy, half hauntingly melodic shouted vocals and crushingly introspective lyrics to its quintessential emo drums and guitar parts. And a blue album cover, of course.

Taking It Easy With A-Go-Go

In 1976, Mort Garson released the album “Mother Earth’s Plantasia,” a ten-track, thirty-minute album full of relaxing ambient songs meant exclusively for plants to listen to.

Columbus and Chicago-based band A-Go-Go might not have intended originally to make an album of a similar sort – for ears other than humans – but they might have stumbled into it with the newest album, “Today, Today” released via Super Sport Records on February 7th.

Classic Review: Blink 182’s “Enema of the State”

Blink 182’s third studio album, Enema of the State, was released on June 1, 1999, and went on to become one of the most influential and staple albums of the pop-punk genre.  Charting at number nine on the Billboard 200, the album launched Blink into massive mainstream success, with the album since being certified five times platinum selling over five million copies. 

This was the band’s first album to feature Travis Barker on drums, who helped the band evolve in sound and writing. The three singles from the album, “What’s My Age Again,” “All the Small Things,” and “Adam’s Song” have gone on to become three of the band's most iconic tracks. EOTS comes in at a perfect runtime of 35 mins, never losing pacing or flow throughout.
