Some of our favorite bands get creative when they come up with an album, thinking outside of the songs and implementing a huge concept for art, live shows and more.  One popular trend among artists is the use of mascots or characters to feature on album covers, onstage and in music videos. While metal bands […]

With Halloween right around the corner, the long-debated question of whether The Nightmare Before Christmas is really a Halloween or Christmas movie has resurfaced yet again.

One standout feature of the early 2000s emo music scene was song titles that could barely fit on the back covers of CDs. You probably have fond memories of typing the lyrics of your new jam into the Google search bar and discovering that the actual name of the song was nowhere within them. Or […]

When Radiohead released Kid A, it was such a bold departure from their sound that it stunned the world.

It was as […]
