Marina And The Diamonds

Marina And The Diamonds


Marina Lambrini Diamandis is the full name of the artist who uses the stage name Marina And The Diamonds. People still mistakenly think Marina and The Diamonds is a band when in reality it is just as Marina said in an interview, her stage name is more of a reference to her being Marina and the fans, being the diamonds. Her music touches on stigmatized topics and has a very different indie/pop sound. I would recommend listening to her old music as well as her newest album, FROOT. Her second album, Electra Heart, was about a character who is now not a part of her music anymore. It's always amazing to watch artists go through phases.

Twenty Øne Piløts

Twenty Øne Piløts



Twenty One Pilots was and is a band that has effected me greatly and become one of (if not) my favorite bands. Tyler and Josh have been writing and playing songs about very stigmatized topics and issues since 2009. The band has grown a lot since the Blurryface album in late 2015. They had three albums put out before Blurryface; Self Titled (Twenty One Pilots), Regional At Best, and Vessel. Vessel was the first time i heard them. I heard House of Gold at a friend's house and really liked it but didn't actually get into the band until last year.
