• Slowdive at Union Transfer

    I’m thoroughly impressed with Slowdive and the way they’ve managed to make such a comeback in the world of shoegaze. Their iconic 90s records have inspired so many incredible bands, especially during the resurgence of shoegaze we’ve been experiencing as of late. Their 2017 self-titled album and their newest...

  • In the name of the Father, the Son, and Dan Deacon

    I honestly don’t know where to start with this review. Not because it was bad, it was fucking amazing. But it was so good I’m almost at a loss for words. Dan Deacon shows are somewhat expected – a good, sweaty, fun-filled time, with crowd dance competitions and weird...
