There is something about the flash of the lights, the sound of the band coming out, the other excited people around you, and the intense feeling of seeing someone you like live. Concerts are such a unique medium that bring together the artists and the fans in a pretty close way. I have been going to concerts for most of my life and I have to say I don't know what it is, but there is something so special about concerts in my life.

6 Reasons Going Out To The Bars Is More Fun Than Going To A House Show

I used to photograph and attend a lot of house shows in my sophomore and junior years of college. However, I'm in my senior year of college now and people's pettiness and personal issues are having such a large impact on the house show scene here that it's no longer enjoyable to me. It used to be something I loved, but after receiving a lifetime ban from the Campbell Club and Lorax Manner (in which I was never told what I did to deserve the ban and wasn't given any way to appeal the decision), I've realized the majority (keyword: MAJORITY) of this music scene just cares about pettiness.

Bars, on the other hand, don't give a f*ck about pettiness as long as you're 21.

Lock Your Doors, Shut Your Curtains, Slaughter Party! Is Coming For You

If you didn't have a pulse before, you will after listening to the seven track album.

Slaughter Party!

It's not everyday you get an email from a horror-punk band asking for you to review their upcoming EP. I never shy away from a challenge and I'm always interested in listening to different genres, so the answer was an obvious "yes." I have to admit, I'm not one who normally listens to kill pop/rock music on the reg, but I was pleasantly surprised when Slaughter Party! showed up in my inbox.

'Love It If We Made It' By The 1975 Is Important In Today's Social Climate

UMG / YouTube

The 1975, a musical group from Manchester, have been making waves in the indie music scene for some years now, but only recently have they begun gaining a larger platform — not just musically, but also politically.

Frontman Matty Healy has been using the band's platform to promote political stances well before the band's new era of music. However, he and the rest of the band have used this new era to expand on their stances, specifically with one of their most recent singles, "Love It If We Made It."

1. Bars have live music, too

2. Bars have better bathrooms

3. DRANKS

4. Bars almost always have an outdoor area where you can smoke

5. I like going to a place where I actually won't get kicked out unless I do something wrong

6. There are so many different bars

From the moment the band stepped on stage to the end when they held hands with those in the crowd the atmosphere in the building was incredible.

The world better watch out for Jordan Hollywood because he's already started and will continue to make some real noise in the music industry.

1. How does it feel to have your album "FINALLY!" out and into the world?

2. What did the writing process look like for the album?

3. What is your favorite track on the album and why?

4. Which artists do you look up to? Who influences you?

5. You have been releasing music since 2011, how have you felt like you've grown as an artist over the years?

6. I read that you spent some time ghostwriting verses for rappers. What made you decide to step away from that and share your own music with the world?

7. Which song of yours would you choose to play to somebody who has never heard your music before?

8. If you were to put together a mixtape with your favorite songs of all time what are a few that would definitely be on it?

9. I wondered if you could speak a bit about the ideas and concepts behind the “EXPLOSION” music video? (Did you have this concept in your head right away or was it a lot of brainstorming of smaller ideas that combined into one?)

10. In general, what are your thoughts on music videos? Do you enjoy creating them? Do you believe that they add to the experience of a song/make the meanings of them more powerful?

If you didn't have a pulse before, you will after listening to the seven track album.
