Summer is finally here and the perfect time to discover new music. If you are a band lover like me then this is a list for you and most likely, you will fall in love with these bands.

1. Nothing But Thieves

This five-piece alternative rock band from Essex, England is guaranteed to give you eargasm after eargasm when you are listening to their debut, self-titled album. The band has been compared to Foals, The Neighbourhood, and Civil Twilight. Their sound is hard alternative, mixed with melodic and dark-like elements, but this band is far from depressing.

Highlight tracks: "Excuse Me", "Trip Switch", "Itch" and "Graveyard Whistling".

2. Kaleo

Blues-rock mixed with today’s alternative never sounded so good. You can thank Kaleo for that. The Icelandic band is a breath of fresh air and their debut album, A/B, needs to be part of your must hear albums of the summer. Their music has been featured in many shows such as Suits and even in the season 4 trailer of Orange is the New Black. Their song “No Good” was also featured on the HBO series Vinyl. Their album A/B will be released June 10.

Highlight tracks: "No Good", "Way Down We Go", "All The Pretty Girls" and "I Can’t Go On Without You".

3. Moose Blood

For all you fans of the Pop Punk music scene, Moose Blood will definitely be one of your new favorite bands. They are British Emo band that has been recognized on Billboard’s New Music Friday with their song “Honey”. These guys will be heading out on tour starting in July. Their album Blush will be released on August 5th, 2016, which you can also Pre-Order now on iTunes and MerchNow.

Highlight Tracks: "Honey", "Knuckles", "Gum" and "Swim Down".

4. The Hunna

This up and coming four-piece indie band is perfect for anyone who likes British indie bands. According to their biography on Billboard, they teamed up with producer Tim Larcombe, who also worked with Lana Del Rey and Hasley. Their songs are catchy and similar to the band Coasts, who they actually toured with before. We’re definitely keeping our ears open for this band.

Highlight Tracks: "We Could Be", "Bonfire", "You & Me" and "Still Got Blood".

5. The Strokes

Yes, that’s right! Although they’ve been around for awhile, they are releasing new music. On June 3, 2015, The Strokes released their first EP since 2013, entitled Future Present Past. The New York based band is coming back into the music scene with new and old fans. They are definitely band you want to listen to starting with their early work leading up to the new EP.

Highlight Tracks: "Reptilia", "Last Nite", "Drag Queen" and "All The Time".

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

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.
