July Talk – The Most Underappreciated Band Of The Century

By Jack Bartholomew In 2012 when rock was howling for an authentic voice(s) to take center stage we were given July Talk. They stood tall with songs so boisterous it’d bounce off the walls and shatter the windows. Songwriting that’s so slick and self-aware of the issues that surround us daily. A sound that’s immediatelyContinue reading “July Talk – The Most Underappreciated Band Of The Century”

Gigs or Daylight Robbery?

Gigs? What is that? An enclosed environment where we can interact with our favorite band? IN PERSON? ALL SWEATY AND INHALING EACH OTHER’S AIR? WHAT!? It feels like a lifetime ago, doesn’t it?

By Jack Bartholomew I know exactly what you’re thinking, ‘oh that guy who writes rock music blogs is writing about something else!’ You caught me! Red handed! The last cupcake was eaten and the crumbs are smothered all over my face next to the plate…. Or whatever analogy you want to use. The point I’mContinue reading “Who Watches The Watchmen?”

Artists Admiration: Oasis

Here comes the train! Can you hear it? The people that despise Oasis won’t stop sharing their hatred whenever a Gallagher appears on their computer screen. It’s almost like they didn’t have three percent of the population apply to tickets at Knebworth in 1996 when they played to a 200,000 capacity audience or have LiamContinue reading “Artists Admiration: Oasis”

Welcome!

Welcome to this world of mine! If you haven’t guessed already, rock music is the theme of this blog. If youContinue reading “Welcome!”
