5 Underrated Music Artists

Music is one of my favorite things in the entire world. I'm sure most people share the sentiment. For me, one of my best decisions was getting a Pandora account because it opened me up to a whole new world of music. It's how I discovered some of the artists on this list. When I listen to the radio, I feel like I continually hear the same people over and over and over again. Since I know that every person has a different music genre that they love, I'm going to try and list as many different artists as I can, from all different styles. Depending on what station you listen to or what type of music you like, these underrated music artists are definitely something you should check out!


1. ECHOSMITH

Admittedly, this was a band that I discovered because of Teen Wolf. This band formed in 2009, and is led by lead singer Sydney Sierota, with her three brothers making up the band. Their most popular song was Cool Kids which was released in 2013. Their style is similar to that of Owl City and Neon Trees, who they opened up for on each bands concert tours.

SONGS YOU SHOULD CHECK OUT: Cool Kids, Tell Her You Love Her.

2. TROYE SIVAN

Troye Sivan, who started out as a YouTuber, released his first EP, TRXYE, in 2014 which featured one of my favorite songs, Happy Little Pill. After that, his music career skyrocketed. In 2015, he released his second major EP, titled Wild, which featured the Blue Neighborhood trilogy. His voice has a soft, raspy tone to it, and his lyrics are full of meaning and metaphor. There are definitely songs on his EP's for everyone, from upbeat music to slow tracks that make you want to cry.

SONGS YOU SHOULD CHECK OUT: Happy Little Pill, Wild.


3. FALLING IN REVERSE

Falling in Reverse originated in 2008 and is led by lead singer, Ronnie Radke. This band falls is described as a hard rock band, but I would dare to venture that they fall into metal or alternative. Their debut album The Drug In Me Is You was dropped in 2011 and featured the title track. One of my personal favorites is Fashionably Late, which was released on the band's sophomore album of the same name.

SONGS YOU SHOULD CHECK OUT: Fashionably Late, I'm Not a Vampire, The Drug In Me Is You.



4. MELANIE MARTINEZ

Melanie first auditioned for the Voice in 2012 and chose Team Adam. She was eliminated in the fifth round and this led her to start working on her debut EP, Dollhouse, which dropped in 2014. In 2015, Melanie released Pity Party (using the Leslie Gore song as the chorus) off of her debut album, Cry Baby. Her lyrics (and videos) are very dark and talk about incredibly mature themes. That album is one of my favorites of all time.

SONGS YOU SHOULD CHECK OUT: Tag, You're It, Cry Baby, Pity Party, Mrs. Potato Head.



5. IMAGINE DRAGONS

I'm a little biased, seeing as this is my favorite band, but Imagine Dragons is a group you should totally check out. They premiered their debut album Night Visions in 2012, which featured the hit track It's Time. I would consider them to be an alternative/indie/rock band and I fall in love with every song I hear. More recently, they've been growing due to their song Sucker For Pain which was a feature track from Suicide Squad. Their second album Smoke + Mirrors was released in 2015 and was also wildly popular. (I should also add that I was lucky enough to see them live and it was one of the best concerts that I've ever been to).

SONGS YOU SHOULD CHECK OUT: Demons, Radioactive, Nothing Left to Say, Warriors, I Bet My Life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
