Even though Hanukkah ended two days ago, we’re sure you hear this song at least once per year.  It’s a classic.  Enjoy.

A religious classic done by a band with a very non-religious stance.  It’s surprising to say the least. Have a favorite non-traditional Christmas song?  Leave us a comment below!

[youtube url=”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3cgfLIWjtFA”] Travis Shosa says: Reigning Sound (along with every Greg Cartwright vehicle) is one of the best garage rock acts of the past twenty years.  On this song, Cartwright flips the idea of a Christmas song on its head by turning in a raw garage ballad about a man whose girlfriend left him lamenting his […]

Samantha Wong says: Brighten’s “Merry Christmas Baby” featuring The Maine is one of my all-time favorite Christmas songs. It’s a light, cheery song that’s great to listen to while decorating your Christmas tree while wearing your tackiest Christmas sweater…or you know, if you wanna sing this to your significant other, that’s cool, too. Check out […]

Justin Lyles says: This is my favorite Christmas song of all time.  Malcom Middleton (of Arab Strap fame) sings a song that on it’s face may seem pessimistic and depressing.  It isn’t.  It’s a hopeful song… at least, I think it is.  Check it out.  Merry X-mas! Justin is the host of The Sound of […]

The era of the mid to late ’90s was worth witnessing. It was worth the craze of pop stars like N’Sync and Britney Spears. It was worth hearing these artists boom across the nation, and when Total Request Live was on MTV, the station was worth tuning in. Of course, this era also came with […]

 

“Dreams and expectations also have the very dark flip side of disappointment.”– James Franco 30 Seconds to Mars showcases a euphoric  beauty in the “City of Angels.” Within eleven minutes, the music video display thoughts from celebrities to just regular people.

Off-the-radar indie artists have a way of positively surprising listeners, and they often succeed in doing so without putting a strain on their professional image or limiting the amount of goodies in their music bag. This trend rings true for Malaysian singer and songwriter Yuna. While other artists settle with bold yet bulgy antics tacked […]

Producer Ryan Hemsworth’s new full-length LP is a solid, smooth and cool atmospheric album from start to finish.

First, I would like to thank my father for not restricting the music I chose to listen to as a teenager. I came of age in the 90’s during a highly confusing time for music and far too often I wasn’t sure what I actually liked and what was just being shoved in my face […]

On October 9th at the House of Blues, I had the pleasure to attend the Local Natives concert with an introductory performance by Wild Nothing. This was my first time at the House of Blues since I usually attend concerts at either Fitzgerald’s or Warehouse Live, and I have to say, I am pretty impressed and […]
