Music You're Missing Out On

1. Kina Grannis

Genre: Indie, Folk-Pop.

For fans of: Colby Caillat, Sarah Bareilles, Tristan Prettyman.

You might remember Kina debuting a video on Super Bowl XLII back in 2008. Since then, her sound has further developed in its depth and sophistication.

2. The CO

Genre: Pop-Rock.

For fans of: One Republic, The Script

After transplanting their small-town roots in Nashville, Collin Brace, Troy Akers, and Nate Fleming bring honest, heartfelt music to the modern pop-rock style.

3. Striking Matches

Genre: Country.

For fans of: The Civil Wars, Little Big Town, Ashley Monroe.

Sarah Zimmermann and Justin Davis combine complex harmonies, innovative guitar sound, and compelling lyrics, making themselves a powerful duo. They have even had a few songs recorded and made famous by the cast of ABC's "Nashville."

4. Oh Honey

Genre: Folk-Pop.

For fans of: Of Monsters and Men, Fleet Foxes, Matt and Kim.

Based in Brooklyn, NY, Mitchy Collins and Dannielle Bouchard create an energetic, catchy, folk-pop sound that has been featured on several commercials and an episode of "Glee."

5. Caroline Glaser

Genre: Folk-Pop.

For fans of: Colby Caillat, Pistol Annies, early Sheryl Crow.

Glaser, a Missouri native, former KU student, and season four contestant on "The Voice," has been quite busy since her television debut. She has released a solo EP, performed countless shows, and featured several cover songs on her YouTube channel.

6. Jake Bugg

Genre: Alternative.

For fans of: The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, The Beatles.

Bugg is bringing back the classic sound of musical greats and twisting them into his own unique style. You may remember his tune "Lightning Bolt" from a Gatorade commercial a couple years ago.

7. MisterWives

Genre: Alternative, Pop.

For fans of: Imagine Dragons, Echosmith, Taylor Swift's 1989.

Singer Mandy Lee, percussionist Etienne Bowler, bass guitarist William Hehir, and guitarist Marc Campbell, multi-instrumentalist Jesse Blum, and saxophonist Mike Murphy blend together a unique pop sound that is will have you hooked from the beginning.

8. Drake White

Genre: New Country.

For fans of: Thomas Rhett, Brett Eldridge, Chase Rice.

With more time for his new music to circulate, White will certainly make a big splash onto the country music scene with his boot-stomping with tracks such as this one.

9. The Former Me

Genre: Pop-Punk.

For fans of: All Time Low, Blink 182, Taking Back Sunday.

Lead Singer Dylan Lahey of St. Louis, MO is leading this high-energy, diverse band to new heights as they are currently touring throughout the midwest.

10. Judah and the Lion

Genre: Folk-Rock, Christian.

For fans of: Mumford and Sons, The Lumineers, NeedToBreathe.

Witty lyrics, an acoustic sound that builds throughout the songs, and the unique voice of Judah Akers make this Mumford-esque band a powerful one that is bursting fast into the folk-rock scene.

673244

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.

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.

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.
