Chousand Is The New Pop-Punk Group That Will Take The World By Storm

The album you didn't know you needed.

I've been on the search for something new lately. Something that was raw and unnerving yet gave me the desire to dance around my room or speed on the highway with the sunroof down.

Chousand's self-titled debut album did just that and more. I've never been immediately hooked onto a group and their work. Is this the equivalent of falling in love?

The pop-punk group released two singles earlier in the year, "D.O.M." and "Subaru" that made their appearance on the album. They deliver the edgy musical elements we all know and love while providing a remarkable narrative that instantly leaves you hooked to each song.

If you're a fan of Moose Blood, Sorority Noise, etc. you will be head over heels with this group.

Things this album makes me want to do: smoke cigarettes, spray paint a random brick wall, go to a house party, laugh with my friends in a Taco Bell parking lot, jump up and down at a music festival of my choice until I pass out.

Those are awfully specific and maybe a little too ~edgy but the aura rings true. It has subconsciously become the anthem of the summer adventures that I want to have.

Then when the mood has to slow down and you suddenly find that it's 3 a.m. you can play "Beautiful Morning" and find yourself grinning from ear to ear.

Cue the cheesy motivational speech.

There are certain songs that pump you up, sure. And there are songs that make you cry in the middle of the afternoon even though your life is perfectly okay-ish.

Then there are songs that seem to light up a different part of you that you didn't know existed. It's like coming home to an old friend that you didn't realize you missed.

It's comforting and exhilarating in every sense of the phrase.

Chousand has easily become one of my favorite pop-punk bands. Did I also mention that they're fans of CupcakKe? I need that collab as soon as possible.

Fun fact: in one of their EP's released in 2015, they have a song titled "Steak & Titties." If that isn't pure lyrical genus, I don't know what is.

In the meantime, I'll be listening to this album on repeat until I get sick of it and waiting to see when they'll be blessing me with tour dates.

You can listen and download their album here.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
