An "Unruly Welsh Gang" moves into music.

Pretty Vicious's new song "Move," which came out at the end of the summer, is said to be a great example of what's to come in the early months of 2019.

The foursome consists of Brad Griffiths, Elliot Jones, Jarvis Morgan, and Tom McCarthy. In true rock and roll fashion, when on the phone with Brad, he's unapologetically himself and talks passionately about what moves him and what he wants from the band going forward.

Lead vocals and guitar player, Brad Griffiths, explained that their punk rock stylings that come out in "Move" will be on full blast with the new album. Their first EP, "Cave Song" offers that same amount of gritty pop-rock, and since it's release in 2016, the band has been working to release their first full-length album, which is set to come out in the early stages of 2019.

Pretty Vicious, a band of four, hail from Merthyr Tydfil in the United Kingdom, and that's where a lot of their self-proclaimed "unruly Welsh" persona comes from and not as moody as other punk rock or alternative rock groups that have made their way over to the States. Brad said that instead of coming in as the other bands did with their moody tunes and looks, he wants America to see them as something more.

Even though their first album has yet be released, Pretty Vicious is in no way rookies to the music scene. They've opened for acts like Stereophonics and Noel Gallagher and have even played at Glastonbury Music Festival in Somerset, England which sees about 130,000 concert goes throughout five days. They've also had their songs, "Are You Ready For Me" and "Ain't No Fun" appear on different gaming soundtracks, and "Move" has earned its place on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Chart.

As the punk rock and Britpop lovers await the release of their new album, there is still plenty of Pretty Vicious music to hold them over until then.

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.
