Louis Tomlinson Has ‘Faith in the Future’ and Releases New Single!

Out with the Old and In Comes Rival Sons’ Before the Fire’ | Album Review
Who says modern rock music sucks? If you were to ask me that a year ago, I would’ve said, “modern rock sucks and rock ‘n’ roll was only good in the 70s/80s.” However, that was before I discovered Rival Sons; a young band from Long Beach, California that formed in 2009. I discovered them through… Continue Reading →

My Top 10 Favorite Songs of All Time with Female Vocalists
Ever noticed how I don’t talk about many female vocalists on my blog? Well, that’s because nowadays, I mostly listen to bands with male vocalists.
