Concert Review: Whitney with Prewn at the Lodge Room, Los Angeles, CA
Chicago indie-rock duo Whitney, led by Julien Ehrlich (drums, vocals) and Max Kakacek (guitar), returned to Los Angeles on the heels of their fourth studio album, Small Talk, self-produced and released November 7, 2025. The band played back-to-back sold-out nights at the Lodge Room, bringing their distinctly restrained, nostalgia-soaked sound into a room that felt built for it.

Concert Review: Midwest Emo Magic; Saturdays at Your Place, Live in Buffalo New York
There are certain shows where I expect production to enhance the music and create an atmosphere that defines the show and the artists. Then there are shows where you don’t need that; what you need is raw energy from the band and the crowd. And that is exactly what Saturdays at Your Place brought to Buffalo, New York on March 19th, 2026.

Music Review: Girl In The Year Above Releases "Mama, My Heart is Achin’"
About a year ago, in one of those rare moments where the internet gets it exactly right, I came across a fragment of a song I didn’t know I needed. I didn’t just like it; I recognised myself in it.

It lingered in my mind, making me feel as though the song had a magnetic pull that settled under

Concert Review: Silence Never Sounded This Loud: The Currents x ERRA Tour at Town Ballroom, Buffalo, NY
"The Silence Follows" tour featuring ERRA and Currents is the must-see metalcore tour this year! Each band delivered a punch that electrified the crowd while exploring various styles within hardcore and metalcore.
The opening band “Aviana” hails from Sweden, and they blew my mind. I had never heard of them, and I am the kind of person who wants to get to shows early to watch the openers, even when I don’t know them. I also believe that the best way to experience new music

Concert Review: Astronoid Commands the Stage at the Orpheum in Tampa, Florida
Inside the four walls of the Orpheum in Tampa, Florida, the stage is set. Fans trickle in from the long line snaking around the building outside. Once located in historic Ybor City, the Orpheum has been enjoying its new location since 2020, welcoming an array of amazing bands and artists.

Concert Review: Hawthorne Heights Brings Emo Nostalgia to Minnesota with 20 Years Of “If Only You Were Lonely”
Two decades after If Only You Were Lonely put heartbreak on the map for an entire generation, Hawthorne Heights returned to the iconic First Avenue in Minneapolis on March 9th, 2026, to remind us why the album became a staple of the mid-2000s emo scene. The band played the record in full, but not before supporting acts Creeper and Letlive delivered theatrical, emotional, and chaotic sets that hyped the crowd for a night built on celebration and nostalgia.
