AURORA

AURORA

Aurora is a swedish singer who was only 16 when she started doing music. At the age of 19, a year or two ago, she got signed to a label and put out her first real album; All My Demons Greeting Me As a Friend. This album is very strong and showcases the young singer's plentiful talent. Her voice is amazing and haunting and flows smoothly. This album is amazing and calming but also very powerful. She has a very beautiful style and her song writing is very good. My favorites from the album were probably Murder Song, Winter bird, and Awakening. She seems like a wonderful person and artist and i would definitely recommend her.

Panic! At The Disco

Panic! At The Disco

Probably one of my favorite bands since I was in about 5th or 6th grade; Panic! At The Disco. I didn't really get so much into the band until 8th grade but I always loved their different styles and albums. I actually saw them in concert March 11th. Their first album showcased a really "emo" or alternative style that immediately caught people's ears and they blew up. Their next album, Pretty Odd is one of my favorite, they completely changed their style, gong from "emo" to folk rock. Some of my favorite songs off that album are That Green Gentleman and Northern Downpour. Next was Vices and Virtues, when the band started having creative disagreements. One of the main members, Brendan Urie, took over full creative control after this album and band member Ryan Ross left. Brendan Urie then came out with his next album, being the sole member making a creative contributor, this Vegas themed album, Too Weird to Live, Too Rare to Die, (after their place of origin), was probably one of my favorite. Their style turned into a more electronic alternative rock. My favorites were probably Far Too Young to Die and Collar Full. Now their most recent album, Death of A Bachelor, which Urie wrote after getting married, was a lot louder and the lyrics were a lot stronger. I think this album is amazing but could never live up to some of their older ones.

Green Day

Green Day

Green Day is one of my favorite punk bands and i would highly recommend them. While some of their songs are a little bit sad and mainstream, most of their less popular songs and albums really struck me. Like Dookie was an amazing album that I thought really expressed the groups talent and their musicality. Although they had a trilogy of not very popular albums after my favorite, American Idiot, They recently in 2016 came back with Revolution Radio which I love. It's new and still has their style while showing their internal issues and how not all music today is garbage.

The 1975

The 1975

The 1975 are a very unique band from Manchester England. They started playing together in 2002 and are still putting out music. Their first EP facedown got people talking in 2012. They went on their first tour in 2013 and have been popular and have their own rolling for years.

The 1975 has their own sound that reminds many of 70's or 80's pop but with a twist. Their songs may seem shallow on the outside but have their own meaning and are perfectly raw. Their newest album i like it when you sleep, for you are so beautiful yet so unaware of it was released 2015 and changed their style from black and white vintage to pastel pinks and even blues. The band gained a lot of popularity from their singles "The Sound" and "Somebody Else".
