Sometimes people will put their own spin on it and it’ll turn out amazingly. Sometimes it’ll turn out horribly. Other times, it’ll turn out so well that everyone thinks that version is better than yours, or worse– they’ll forget … Continue reading The best cover songs of all time (playlist)
The world is a complicated mess right now, unloading more stress and anxiety into our lives every day. Much to our (very understanding, yet bummed) dismay, bands are postponing tour dates and album releases, leaving much of the music world in a near standstill. At least, that’s how it seems.

With her raspy, emotional vocals, Lorde’s “Green Light” is a good listen, but it may not be the best version of … Continue reading All Time Low covered Lorde’s ‘Green Light’ and it’s pretty amazing
Nostalgia is a fun thing. From time to time, we find ourselves going back to the good ol’ days, pulling out photos, trying on outfits we swear we used to fit into, and listening to whatever music was on our first iPods. “I can’t believe I used to listen to this garbage,” you say as you quickly skip over the High School Musical soundtrack, even though … Continue reading 5 songs we still listen to from 2007
