Due to the natural characteristics of humans, we often look back to the past for inspiration, especially with music. Music moves like a water cycle, constant rotation that eventually comes back around. We can hear the clear influence that the 70s and 90s have on music today, however with advancements made in both technology and quality it is almost impossible to get the exact same sound produced from a specific time period. You can hear the influence but automatically know that the track was made after a touch phone was created. Basement Revolver is one of the few who successfully get it righ ..read more

Public Order’s ‘HELLO’ is an edgy, indie-rock single that leaves a lasting impression. With a blend of heavy guitar, drums, and vocals, this piece builds as it evolves.

“Everything” is a sonic representation of the process of healing. The track brought me to tears within mere seconds - the soft acoustic guitar and hazy vocals immediately reminded me of artists such as Novo Amor and Hollow Coves, and thus, of much simpler times. With an almost defeated tone, Phillips sings, “Oh, everything / it is you”. He sees this person in everything, and try as he might, he can’t move on. He navigates this journey as the song continues, and by the time we reach the chorus, he delivers an unexpected wall of sound, representing him finding the strength he needs to finally m ..read more

Holly Wild’s song “Cuts Me Up” is an alt pop song about guilt and betrayal. It’s the lead single for her first album “Fire”. The song starts like any typical indie song - with guitar chords and delicate vocals. Then the beat drop comes at the first chorus and switches back instantly after. Not gonna lie, the beat drops caught me off guard at first, but the contrast between that and Holly’s vocals help encapsulate distortion in a musical way. It has a similar vibe to most of Billie Eilish songs. The lyrics of “Cuts Me Up” show the singer’s perspective of a betrayal between people. Even though ..read more
