5 Bands You Need To Start Listening To

Who doesn't love discovering new music? It can get pretty old listening to Taylor Swift and Drake over and over again. It is amazing to branch out out of the usual genre you listen to whether it be pop, rap, country,or whatever your heart desires. Here are 5 rather "alternative-ish" bands you should definitely give a listen to.

1. LANY: This 3 man band is made up of member Paul Jason Klein, Les Priest, and Jake Goss. They are based in Los Angeles and have released 3 EP's so far you can listen to on many streaming services. Their sound is a mix between 80's pop and 90's R&B soul which creates mesmerizing music you are bound to get hooked to. Check out of their hit songs "ILYSB":

2. The Maine: This alternative rock band has been around since 2007 and have creates some great tunes over the years. This 5 man band has released 5 albums along with several EP's in their early years. They are hitting the road to go on "The Lovely, Little, Lonely World Tour" which you should definitely get tickets to (I already did). Check their hit song "English Girls":

3. The Kooks: This British band is making a splash from across the pond here in America. They have been a band since 2004 and released several EP's before their firs album, Inside In/Inside Out in 2006. They have now released 5 albums in total and have been on tour several times. They have similarities to the band Arctic Monkey's so if you like them you should definitely give The Kooks a listen. Here is one of their hit songs "Naive":

4. Beach Weather: This band is made up of Austin Scates, Nick Santino, and Reeve Powers all of which are new to the music scene. They recently released their first EP called "Chit Chat" with some smooth and upbeat indie-vibe tunes. They are actually an opening act for The Maine's tour "The Lovely, Little, Lonely Tour" which is very exciting. Check out their single "New Skin":

5. With Confidence: This Aussie pop punk band has been gaining a lot of popularity here in the US. They were all high school friends who then formed this band back in 2011 and released their first EP "Youth" in 2013. Over the years they have opened up for big names like 5 Seconds of Summer and have been at Warped Tour. They are now opening up for State Champs tour which kicks off soon. Here is one of their hit songs "Voldemort":

Humans and robots face off in a rock band battle with guitars and drums, under dynamic lighting.

StableDiffusion

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
