5 Eclectic Bands To Break The Monotony
Jacques Lowe

I don’t know about you, but I love change. I can’t stand doing the same things the same exact way every day, and this includes the music I listen to. I’m constantly on the lookout for bands willing to break out of the norm and stretch the rules to fit their unconventional ways. So if you ever find yourself bored with your music and need something fresh, I hope this list will help you out. The bands below are some of the most unconventional and out-of-the-box artists I know of. So buckle up, sit back, and enjoy!


Twenty One Pilots

Kickin' it off with the most eclectic band I know and love, duo Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun of twenty one pilots are the epitome of out-of-the-box; in fact, they went and broke the box. You may have heard their hit singles: "Stressed Out," "Tear In My Heart," or "Ride". However, their music ranges from ukulele tunes ("House of Gold") and piano ballads ("Goner") to spitfire rap ("HeavyDirtySoul") and everything in between.


Gungor

Husband and wife, Michael and Lisa Gungor are truly artistic in their endeavor to express themselves through music in entirely original ways. Gungor is most famous for their singles, "Beautiful Things" and "I Am Mountain," but if you've ever explored the rest of their music you'll find this band tends to stick to the path less trodden.


Imagine Dragons

Most known for their hit single, "Radioactive," Imagine Dragons likes to routinely break the boundaries of conventional music and this list just wouldn't be complete without them.

Judah And The Lion

Their older music may be more traditional sounding folk-style music, but with their new album, "Folk Hop N' Roll," they've taken on a new kind of genre. Their new music crosses modern techno style music with the traditional folk.


Lindsey Stirling

Another genre-crossing artist and first of her kind, Lindsey Stirling is a dancing, dubstep violinist. Curious? Take a listen. If you like this, then you'd love her new single, "The Arena."

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.
