Flashback to 2006. Boys Like Girls just dropped their debut album (feel old?). You’re copying and pasting lyrics from a shady website into every song in your iTunes catalog. Most of them are wrong.

By 2006, scene culture had grown roots in every mainstream area possible. Myspace took over as the primary mode of social media communication, and bands spread like wildfire once they uploaded music. It was a whirlwind year, as music became more accessible to a larger group of people, Hot Topic brightened its lights and studded […]

Scene kids recognize that much of our subculture would not be possible without Myspace, our first happy place on the internet. The website is responsible for creating many celebrities, making us all take regrettable selfies and helping shape our music taste to what it is today.  That being said, it may have been a while since […]

If a band includes a ukulele in their music, it’s always got a feel-good vibe. It doesn’t even matter what kind of song they’re writing or what genre they’re going for. Even if the lyrics are depressing as hell, it’s got a ukulele, so it’s automatically pretty happy. The ukulele is basically a magical ray […]

Their first event of 2016 proved that it is not all […]

It’s okay if you don’t remember SELF.

Hellogoodbye Everything Is Debatable Hellogoodbye’s sophomore album, 2010’s Would It Kill You?, marked a radical kiss-off to the sounds the group built their name on—namely, the shift from at-times grating synth-pop to creaky indie pop that oozed ELO and the Kinks. Kline has again reinvented himself on Everything Is Debatable, this time in the perfect marriage […]
