Nova Rockafeller’s “Hey You”: A Battle Cry of Identity, Rebirth, and Reclaiming Your Damn Life
Nova Rockafeller’s track "Hey You" is a raw, unapologetic middle finger to societal norms, inner demons, and anything—or anyone—that’s ever tried to box her in. It’s more than just a song. It’s a battle cry for anyone who’s clawed their way out of personal hell, reshaped their identity, and learned to fight their own reflection. In this post, we’re diving headfirst into the lyrics and unpacking the powerful themes that punch through every line like a one-two combo from a prizefighter.

Knocked Loose - You Won't Go Before You're Supposed To - Album Review. Content Warning.
I love heavy music, and while I know it isn't for everyone, I find it deeply compelling. The naunces, the raw, often unapologetically unfiltered emotions, and the technical prowess that is so often on display thrill me. I know lots of people miss that and that's fine.

CARSEX Level Up With Scorching New Track "Crooked Canvas"
CARSEX is an edgy, punk and metal influenced band out of Long Beach, CA. They have leveled up their game with the release of their new single “Crooked Canvas”. The song, which was produced by Steve Evetts (Sepultura, Alesana, Poison the Well, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Butcher Babies) is their clarion call for people to pay attention to who – and what – they support. They rail against blind fealty to leaders of political parties, and just following the herd to whoever the latest cult personality is. They want to make people aware of what they are buying into, when they are buying the latest buzzy thing.

The Day When I Saw Green Day
While I got into Green Day relatively late, I did get to GelreDome venue for my first Green Day concert on time. That didn't stop me from still almost not getting to see them at all, but I digress. I did see them and it was awesome. So, with emotions still fresh from that day, I wanted to create a little microcosm of why I love this band, my rocky road towards finally getting to see them live and, of course, what an absolutely epic of an experience a Green Day concert is.

Meet Deadbeat Daycare A Dynamic Band Based In Chicago
Picture this. You’re in high school sitting at the lunch table with your best friend and contemplating what a great idea playing music together would be. So, you start the band and realize that you need a drummer and a name. You find the drummer. You decide on a name that is unlike any other. You start writing music in one member’s garage and realize that you need a bass player to round things out. You find a seasoned bass player who is a fit, and suddenly it all makes sense. That’s the story. I am just the messenger. That’s Deadbeat Daycare’s story and they’re not only sticking to it, but they’re ready to rock your world as they start to ramp up their live shows, hitting as many local venues as they can this summer. Most recently, they performed at the notable Brudder's Bar and Burlington Bar in Chicago. The band is ready to kick it into high gear since they are all now finished with college.
