I find this song addicting and easy to put on replay–Ever since discovering BROODS, I’ve been loving my electro-indie music kick. To be honest, I’m not in love with the music video, but try to listen to the song.

BROODS "First Contact" Concert with 95.5 WBRU

September 12, 2014.Reading time 1 minute.

Ever since “Bridges” became a hit, I have become a huge fan of the New Zealand brother-sister duo band, BROODS. I was so excited to hear about BROODS coming to Providence and couldn’t pass up the opportunity to see them. Even though I had a very busy day at work the next day, this BROODS […]

"Rude" by MAGIC!

June 16, 2014.Reading time less than 1 minute.

Summer songs usually fall into one of two categories–the party anthem or the romantic ballad. If Iggy Azalea’s “Fancy” is the former, naturally MAGIC!’s “Rude” foots the bill for the latter. It’s beachy, it’s easy to sing along to, and it’s absolutely adorable…

"I Wanna Get Better" by Bleachers

June 2, 2014.Reading time less than 1 minute.

I don’t think this new song can be described as a “feel-good” hit… “Cathartic” is a more accurate keyword. “I Wanna Get Better” is almost like a response to Iconapop’s “I Don’t Care,” but you can decide for yourself. By the way, Bleachers will be playing at Boston Calling in the fall.

"Bridges" by Broods

I heard this song once on the radio and it’s really stuck with me since. Broods is a brother-sister band based in Auckland, New Zealand. It’ll be interesting to see what else they come up with, because “Bridges” is entrancing…

"Love They Say" by Tegan and Sara

I found a picture of peonies and used the Over app to create this picture inspired by Tegan and Sara’s song, “Love They Say.” Love, removes the hurt in you Love, I know that this is true Love, they say that it is blind Love, they say it all the time Love, I know that […]

(Everything Is) Debatable by hellogoodbye

March 11, 2014.Reading time 1 minute.

I had no idea hellogoodbye released their latest album, Everything Is Debatable, last October. I suppose I’m not so far behind the times–their last album, Would It Kill You?, was released on my birthday in 2010, but I found about it the following year… Judging from the Everything Is Debatable track, hellogoodbye has transformed their […]

"I Was a Fool" by Tegan and Sara

February 9, 2014.Reading time less than 1 minute.

Before Heartthrob, I’ve always been a Tegan and Sara fan. Most people are familiar with some tracks off The Con (2007), but So Jealous (2004) is a personal favorite. I was thrilled that “Closer” became a hit, but I’d have to say “I Was a Fool” is the one that’s been stuck on my mind. […]

“Take Me Home” is my latest song obsession, I’ve replayed it an unhealthy amount of times and will continue to do so until another song comes along…

"Dare4Distance" NeverShoutNever

July 18, 2013.Reading time less than 1 minute.

I’ve been feeling so nostalgic lately. Dare4Distance is a really old song, but I’ve had it on replay with old Third Eye Blind and the latest Vampire Weekend album–it’s a strange mix, I know.
