Shapes Of Things Before My Eyes Mica Levi has been surrounded by music her entire life; she admits to knowing little about life itself but it doesn’t seem to bother her. She’s emerged from the British underground like a hurricane, creating a musical genre all of her own. Whether she wants to admit it or not, her music is truly unique, paving the way for a whole new musical...

caUSE co-MOTION! "Who’s Gonna Care"; For a band that specializes in songs under 2-minutes in length this is pretty much the perfect video. Super sped up, jumpy, energetic vibes that go right along with their fast, funky song.

To celebrate, we are bringing you more Micachu. Another new favorite band, the somewhat...

Do not go to Siren Fest hungover! This should be a rule that’s written on the post because it is a pretty awful feeling to stand in the sun on one of the warmest days of the year when you were drinking till 4am the previous night. Yeah, sometimes my decision making is not what it’s supposed to be at this point in my life, but I did my best to battle the hangover and my sudden aversion...
