The EP is calming and nice to listened to straight from the start, with calming instrumentals with songs like Heaven On Earth.
Although I enjoy the more chilled tracks, I can't help put repeat tracks like Public Service Announcement (No Hoes) over and over again. Bueller shows off his skills at rhyming and flow numerous times through his tracks.

The Story So Far - Songs Of EP Review
The Story So Far, one of the biggest bands in Pop Punk at the moment, recently took a swing at an acoustic EP, and is being streamed over at Pure Noise Records.
In this short ep, consisting of 5 songs, The Story So Far brings 3 songs off of "What You Don't See" and turns them into acoustic songs, on top of that they threw in an original song "Navy Blue", which in some ways is similar to "Clairvoyant", which dropped last year on a split with Stick To Your Guns.
Finally, the story so far finishes up the EP with a cover of Bob Marley's "Waiting In Vain" which to be honest, I didn't pay to much attention to. Although it was interesting to see them do some different sounding songs on this.
The revised acoustic songs, "Bad Luck", "All Wrong", and "The Glass" are are great, although "All Wrong" is about 30 seconds and it was upsetting to see it wasted as a track on this EP. Their acoustic version of "Bad Luck" was probably my favorite off this EP, and I think I might actually like it better than the original.
Overall this album met my expectations, although I wish it was a track or two longer being that one of the songs was barely a minute long. I'll definitely be listening to more of this.
Allapartus - Fides//Fatum EP Review
Allapartus, a post-hardcore band from Purchase, New York, released their EP "Fides//Fatum" in march of this year. I went into this album not knowing what to expect at all. When I started the EP I had already been given a great first impression by the introduction song "Almost A Ghost". From that point the album is uphill. "Disavow" delivers the most Post-Hardcore feel out of any other song on the EP. With punk-like riffs and alternative like choruses this song really left a mark on me. The song slows down into a slowed down, chilled out verse, and quickly jumps into a blowout straight into another chorus.
After energetic songs like the first two tracks subside, you're brought into "Honest Prayers" which hits the feels harder than a lot of slower tracks I've heard. The clean guitar and piano really deliver a good feeling and the melodies throughout the entire song are calming.
The final song "Empyrean" left me wishing this album had an extra 5 songs to it, so I definitely look forward to more music from this band. This EP overall is memorable and worth a second listen for sure!

Faults [UK] Mare Vulpes, Tu Pulcher Es - EP Review
In UK hardcore band Faults' ep, Mare Vulpes, Tu Pulcher Es, this four piece band delivers a rough, almost grunge feel to a lo-fi demo-ish EP.
There are 5 tracks in this EP, beginning with the Intro, I was already feeling the tone of this ep, an almost sinking feeling is given with the very first track, which starts off heavier than other songs on the EP.
The third track, "West Hastings, Part 1" By far packs the most punch out of any song on the entire ep, for me, the rhythm and intensity brought in about a minute into the song really brings a chill up your spine.
In part 2, you are left about halfway in with ambient noise, and thrown into a fast paced instrumental that catches you off guard.
One issue with this EP although, would have to be the production. Being that the vocals are barely comprehensible . It's very easy to look past, though, I really enjoyed this EP. What I liked the most is the original tone they had to each song. It was almost as if I was at a live show, which I appreciated a lot.
Final Verdict:
7/10
Killer Tracks: Intro, West Hastings 1 & 2
Filler tracks: Fractured Gold

The World Is A Beautiful Place - Whenever, If Ever Review
I've been putting this review off for far too long and I don't know why honestly. There's nothing not to like about this record. Sure, with the first two songs, a new listener might feel a little off-set by the slow build-up and the vocalist. But when "Fightboat" kicks in, the trumpet/guitar intro sucks you in, and although short, this song packs a punch in its 2 minutes.
And then you might feel like 'oh, another slow song' when "Picture of a Tree That Doesn't Look Okay" comes on, but it soon bubbles into an incredible anthem, just as almost every song by this band seems to do. This is true again for "You Will Never Go to Space", but is again turned into a wonderful tune with bubbling synth.
"The Layers Of Skin We Drag Around" follows "Fightboat"'s formula as a faster song, and then comes "Ultimate Steve", a gigantic build-up only to make way for the album's greatest moment: "Gig Life". This song is an acoustic number about the sadness and beauties of touring, with an exquisite bassline. And this is where the idea of what TWIABP is all about, but we'll come back to that. Anyway, "Gig Life". One of the greatest tracks in this band's collection.
We again have a slower song in "Low Light Assembly". You might think that this collection of songs that tend to start slow and build up might discourage listeners, but if you ask me, that's the beauty of this band: crafting wonderful crescendos. And then we finally come to the finale, "Getting Sodas".
This song is 7 minutes long, but it surprisingly does not start off slow. In fact, it has a pretty steady tempo with epic guitar work and a chockful of emotion (this is emo after all, isn't it?). And then the song turns into an intense chant for almost 2 and a half minutes. With four of the most beautiful lines I've ever heard in a song, the band ends an amazing record. Just like with "Gig Life", these last four lines explain that in spite of the mess of a world, we can still make it a beautiful place by just thinking that way. This is exactly what sets TWIABP aside from other emo bands, and makes them a force to be reckoned with.
FINAL VERDICT
Killer Tracks: Gig Life, Getting Sodas, Fightboat, Picture of a Tree That Doesn't Look Okay
Filler Tracks: blank #9, Heartbeat in The Brain
FINAL RATING: 9.5/10

Morgan Laurence - Love So Plain Review
So, you'll probably recognize the first song off the album by it's common use on Shane Dawson's channel if you watch him. the first song off this album is called "come on, come on!" which is a happy song played on the ukulele and the xylophone. This song like the whole album give great vibes. This album is great for summer, or anytime you need a mood boost. This album is mainly based off a sense of summer love, or some sort of mushy love shit. Despite that, I enjoyed this album a lot. Sadly, this album is only 6 tracks long. Nonetheless it's absolutely great.
Honestly, a couple songs are about the same thing but the vibes they give off totally makes up for it.
FINAL VERDICT:
Total Score: 8/10
Killer Tracks: Come on, Come on!, Hello Airplane, Just This Once, Love So Plain
Filler Tracks: Bigger Hearts

Kanye West - Yeezus Review
Seems like not too long ago that Kanye gave us My Dark Beautiful Twisted Fanasty. But here we are with Yeezus on our hands.
This is West's experimental album, with influences coming from genres such as acid house. This is evident from the get go with the Daft Punk produced "On Sight". This track hits hard in earbuds with a bass heavy sound, but something's lacking in the song, perhaps some variation in the sound. "Black Skinhead" ends up having the similar problem, only it ends up sounding quite a bit better, with Kanye delivering his rhymes very well. Again, same deal with "I Am A God", but it's not as good as "Black Skinhead".
After these first three songs, the album takes a shift towards a bit less of a bassy sound. "New Slaves" sounds a bit more melodic, and in the last minute, it suddenly breaks into an anthem. Although this change adds variation, it's almost a sudden shift in the album's sound and makes you feel as though another song is playing. Next comes "Hold My Liquor" which has a very smooth sound making it one of the album's best songs for sure. "I'm In It" comes in which takes a turn away from the melodic sound and is almost as filler as earlier songs on the album.
The next two songs, "Blood on the Leaves" and "Guilt Trip" have a nice sound, but they seem to soon fade together, along with "Send It Up" sounding like the first three songs. "Bound 2" is unique, based on a vintage sample, making it one of the few standout tracks on this album.
In the end, an experimental album by Kanye is nothing too experimental; just a lot of bass and samples and the same old egotistical lyrics. Tracks seem to flow together, but not in a good way. Everything just seems to sound the same except for a few songs. Sorry Kanye, but this album was mostly a miss.
FINAL VERDICT
Killer Tracks: Hold My Liquor, Bound 2, Guilt Trip
Filler Tracks: On Sight, I Am A God, I'm In It
FINAL RATING: 6/10
I normally don’t post my photography here but this was one of my favorite shoots.
I’m friends with these guys. From left to right they’re Johnny, Dean, Chris, Jared and Will. They’re in a band called Flip the Scene and I admire them dearly. They have a dream and so do I. They want to make music and I want to be a photographer. Together we both are trying to help each other achieve that dream.
I’m now their photographer and I’m loving every minute of it. Not only is their music awesome but they themselves are great guys. Go check out their stuff and go check out my stuff while you’re at it. We’ll both appreciate it greatly. See you on Elm Street.

Julia Brown 7" Review
Hot off the release of To Be Close To You, Julia Brown (this is a band, not a single female) has just put out a new EP through Birdtapes, aptly titled 7”. Despite the band’s lo-fi past, this release has a much more significant professionally recorded sound. Does this work out after the acclaim that To Be Close To You received? Let’s find out...
We kick off with “Library”, a song previously on To Be Close To You in lo-fi form. The song starts off excellent, but feels like it gets a little lost in the middle with a hectic assault of music, but for whatever reason, it manages to piece together right. The song then ends on a serene note with cello and acoustic guitar dominating.
Next up comes “I Wanna Be A Witch”, which comes off as a fun acoustic track, again with prominent cello, making Julia Brown a unique act in indie pop now. Finally, the release ends with “The Way You Want”, another acoustic track with a beautiful duet between Sam Ray and Francesca Blume and very pretty guitar. Although short in total length and overall song length too, this song is a strong way to end the album and a great teaser for what’s in store with a truly great band.
FINAL VERDICT
Killer Tracks: All three.
Final Rating: 9/10

Rhino House Band - Wallkill River Demo Review
Rhino House Band's demo, Wallkill River, was released on band camp back in February. I'm honestly surprised that I haven't come across these guys before. This 2 song demo is like a little flashback to a time era I've never visited. With an indie rock sound that puts me in the feel for summer days, these guys really got it.
The demo opens up with "Feelings (Don't Got Me No
)" which first sounds like a good camp fire sing along that you can really bop your head to. Take a good listen to the lyrics and it's bound to be relatable to a bunch of people. Gives me the feeling of "I may not have much but I've got music and that's all I need", which I'm sure many music enthusiasts can appreciate.
The second song on the demo is "Wallkill River" which is definitely my favorite of the two. With a nice beat and a catchy guitar tune it's incredibly enjoyable. Again, relatable lyrics for just about anyone.
Lead singer Ricky Demetro's voice is new and unique. Perfectly fitting for this indie rock genre they slide comfortably into. It may be a required taste at first but there is no question of talent nor passion.
The more I listen to this demo the more I enjoy it. I find myself singing along to both of these songs and really liking these guys. If you haven't listened Rhino House Band yet, you definitely should. A great sound and great lyrics. What more could you ask for?
Rhino House Band can be found on Facebook and their demo can be downloaded from band camp.
Final Verdict:
Killer Tracks: Wallkill River
Filler Tracks: Feelings (Don't Got Me No)
Final Score: 8/10

One Direction - Up All Night Review!
haha, just kidding.
Issues - Black Diamonds Review
2 Former vocalists of post-hardcore band Woe, Is Me come together and form Issues, a large step up from their previous band. Issues delivers a heavy sound mixed with a little bit of RnB. Which seems a bit unfitting, but Issues pulls it off excellently, doing great in both areas.
Issues' new EP "Black Diamonds" is short and sweet, for the most part. Although they kick off the EP a little poorly with the title song "Black Diamonds" the rest of the album is great. The next song "King of Amarillo" is probably the heaviest off the EP, and really gives off an aggressive tone towards the old band. The next song "The Worst of Them" is one of my favorite tracks off the EP. Giving off that sort of break up song vibe to it. After that comes Princeton Ave, which pretty much explains a sense of morality. This song has one of the most kickass breakdowns I've ever heard.
The rest of the EP isn't as great as the 3 tracks I described, but it's still pretty good.
Final Verdict:
Killer Tracks: King Of Amarillo, Princeton Ave, The Worst of Them
Filler Tracks: Black Diamonds
Total Score: 7/10

NB/SLIYSL Split EP Review
Although Northbound and Speak Low If You Speak Love are not huge names in the emo/ acoustic musicsphere (their Facebook likes combined barely miss 1,500) there is something intriguing about this split. Is it Northbound’s bluntly honest lyrics? Is it SLIYSL’s guitar work on tracks like Haircut For Christmas? Either way, this split EP has both artists delivering excellent tracks.
Northbound kicks off the split with Big Mouth, an in your face acoustic punk rocker, full of self-loathing lyrics with a “fuck off” feel. He carries this into Sophomore Slump, and closes his half of the split with Ryan & I Are Full Of Shit, which is not as angry, but instead appears to be a track yearning for lost love. It is also a key track of the talent that Northbound has with guitar in hand.
Speak Low If You Speak Love’s half of this split is much more calm, intricate, and sounds more brooding than angsty (not this is a bad thing, Northbound’s tracks are amazing). He shows off very pretty chord progressions and a very nice voice. After listening through this split, one should only be left saddened by the fact that the music had to end
.
FINAL VERDICT
Killer Tracks by Northbound: Big Mouth, Ryan & I Are Full of Shit
Filler Tracks by Northbound: Sophomore Slump wasn’t too up to par with the rest.
Killer Tracks by SLIYSL: All three.
Final Rating: 9/10

Watsky - Cardboard Castles Review
Watsky, being well known for his youtube video "Watsky Raps Fast" has released his newest album "cardboard castles" which is by far a major transition from his previous albums/mixtapes. This album has more of a meaning than his previous work. The tracks in this album vary from Meaningful, to skits, and more upbeat songs. Although some songs couldn't really catch me as well as others, I like this album a lot more than some other rap albums. This album has more of a professional sound to it than "Nothing Like The First Time" which was his previous album.
This album is easy to kick back and enjoy during a long car ride or just a bike ride. The one flaw in my opinion is there a few tracks in which I could forget easily, but it's made up by all the songs that stick easily and give a great vibe.
Final Verdict:
Killer Tracks: Hey Asshole, Strong As An Oak, Cardboard Castles, Sloppy Seconds, Ugly Faces, and Tiny Glowing Screens pt.2
Filler Tracks: Skits #1 and #2, and Hardhead Ned.
