ELECTRONIC MUSIC – COPYCAT OR CREATIVE?

abigailpixler5452

There are two types of people in this world… PEOPLE WHO LOVE ELECTRONIC MUSIC & PEOPLE WHO HATE IT WITH A PASSION I have rarely come across those who, simply put, “tolerate it”. You’re either hardcore about that life, whether you’re a wannabe DJ or a massive fan of crazy huge music festivals like Spring Awakening in Chicago, Ultra Music Festival in Miami, FL, Electric Forest in Rothbury MI, and Electric Daisy Carnival in Las Vegas, NV… OR… You hate it so much that you turn the channel on the radio as soon as anything slightly resembling EDM comes on … Continue reading ELECTRONIC MUSIC – COPYCAT OR CREATIVE?

abigailpixler5452

We’ve got one exclusive “BEFORE THEY ARE RELEASED” review up and a plenty other goodies for you in this latest edition of Mad Props!   SINGLES   Oya Paya – Where Is The Line? U.K./Singapore/France/Iran- Indie/Alternative Rock Release Date: November 9, 2018 Just what the doctor ordered – a hooky, piece of rockness, with unabashed, spewing vocals that can still hold a note. It’s a recipe for success, really. This 3-piece alt/indie rock band is proof that you can persevere and rise above circumstances that would otherwise make other artists or bands quit or find new members. A year or … Continue reading MAD PROPS – 11/11/18

RANK’D – Tegan and Sara

abigailpixler5452

I have a confession to make: “My name is Abbey and I have been a massive Tegan and Sara fan since I was 18 (circa 2005)” Ok, so maybe it’s not a big and bad, super dark secret or anything and anyone who knows me personally knows this, but whatever. Like any real life love story where you fall hard, I remember it like it was yesterday when I first heard a song of their’s. Practically all the details, I kid you not. I first discovered Tegan and Sara while listening to Sirius Radio back in 2005. I had a … Continue reading RANK’D – Tegan and Sara

abigailpixler5452

We love a good cover when we find one. We present to you our first edition of our Cover Lover segment… enjoy!   Ex Makina – Wonderwall (Oasis Cover) U.K. | Pop Ok… I already love Wonderwall since it’s a classic so it’s hard to think of the song any way other than it’s 90’s-ness. Well… this right here? This is a whole other epic way to imagine the song. HOLY CUSSWORD.   ANKOR – Havana (Camila Cabello Cover) Spain | Alternative Metal Who knew that adding gritty screams and metal instrumentation could add such an interesting flavor to pop … Continue reading COVER LOVER – Vol. 1

Mad Props 6.27.18

abigailpixler5452

Here is our latest batch of music reviews – from electronic to rock to rap! Go enjoy and listen to something NEW! SINGLES Dead Naked Hippies Guillotine Released June 20, 2018 U.K.  |  Grunge/Alternative Rock Probably one of my favorite songs from Dead Naked Hippies to date, Guillotine cuts straight through the bullshit and right to the reality of life, emotional baggage and all. It presents to the listener, in the most transparent of ways, the purgatory we face between revenge and just letting go when it comes to hurt and grief caused by others. And if you didn’t think … Continue reading Mad Props 6.27.18

Late Night performances in the U.S.A. often showcase some amazing global artists or bands you may have never heard of or ones that you’d never have imagined would grace our TV screens over here.

Dâm-Funk: Girlfriend France | Art Pop Not your run of the mill performance because this one is complete with dancing!! All the while singing, of course… quite impressive.

Genres: More To Rap About

abigailpixler5452

While pop and rock have evolved over the years, other genres have been evolving and expanding in very distinct ways as well – ESPECIALLY RAP. It was not until recently that I realized how out of touch I had been with the genre. Truthfully, I don’t listen to a ton of it to begin with, but with Sferikul, I listen to practically everything now and it has been eye-opening to say the least. First things first, though… WHAT  THE HECK IS A MICROGENRE and how is it different than a subgenre? According to the Oxford Dictionary, a subgenre is “a … Continue reading Genres: More To Rap About
