5 Bands You Need To Start Listening To

Who doesn't love discovering new music? It can get pretty old listening to Taylor Swift and Drake over and over again. It is amazing to branch out out of the usual genre you listen to whether it be pop, rap, country,or whatever your heart desires. Here are 5 rather "alternative-ish" bands you should definitely give a listen to.

1. LANY: This 3 man band is made up of member Paul Jason Klein, Les Priest, and Jake Goss. They are based in Los Angeles and have released 3 EP's so far you can listen to on many streaming services. Their sound is a mix between 80's pop and 90's R&B soul which creates mesmerizing music you are bound to get hooked to. Check out of their hit songs "ILYSB":

2. The Maine: This alternative rock band has been around since 2007 and have creates some great tunes over the years. This 5 man band has released 5 albums along with several EP's in their early years. They are hitting the road to go on "The Lovely, Little, Lonely World Tour" which you should definitely get tickets to (I already did). Check their hit song "English Girls":

3. The Kooks: This British band is making a splash from across the pond here in America. They have been a band since 2004 and released several EP's before their firs album, Inside In/Inside Out in 2006. They have now released 5 albums in total and have been on tour several times. They have similarities to the band Arctic Monkey's so if you like them you should definitely give The Kooks a listen. Here is one of their hit songs "Naive":

4. Beach Weather: This band is made up of Austin Scates, Nick Santino, and Reeve Powers all of which are new to the music scene. They recently released their first EP called "Chit Chat" with some smooth and upbeat indie-vibe tunes. They are actually an opening act for The Maine's tour "The Lovely, Little, Lonely Tour" which is very exciting. Check out their single "New Skin":

5. With Confidence: This Aussie pop punk band has been gaining a lot of popularity here in the US. They were all high school friends who then formed this band back in 2011 and released their first EP "Youth" in 2013. Over the years they have opened up for big names like 5 Seconds of Summer and have been at Warped Tour. They are now opening up for State Champs tour which kicks off soon. Here is one of their hit songs "Voldemort":

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about.

So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.
