Chousand Is The New Pop-Punk Group That Will Take The World By Storm

Instagram

I've been on the search for something new lately. Something that was raw and unnerving yet gave me the desire to dance around my room or speed on the highway with the sunroof down.

Chousand's self-titled debut album did just that and more. I've never been immediately hooked onto a group and their work. Is this the equivalent of falling in love?

The pop-punk group released two singles earlier in the year, "D.O.M." and "Subaru" that made their appearance on the album. They deliver the edgy musical elements we all know and love while providing a remarkable narrative that instantly leaves you hooked to each song.

If you're a fan of Moose Blood, Sorority Noise, etc. you will be head over heels with this group.

Things this album makes me want to do: smoke cigarettes, spray paint a random brick wall, go to a house party, laugh with my friends in a Taco Bell parking lot, jump up and down at a music festival of my choice until I pass out.

Those are awfully specific and maybe a little too ~edgy but the aura rings true. It has subconsciously become the anthem of the summer adventures that I want to have.

Then when the mood has to slow down and you suddenly find that it's 3 a.m. you can play "Beautiful Morning" and find yourself grinning from ear to ear.

Cue the cheesy motivational speech.

There are certain songs that pump you up, sure. And there are songs that make you cry in the middle of the afternoon even though your life is perfectly okay-ish.

Then there are songs that seem to light up a different part of you that you didn't know existed. It's like coming home to an old friend that you didn't realize you missed.

It's comforting and exhilarating in every sense of the phrase.

Chousand has easily become one of my favorite pop-punk bands. Did I also mention that they're fans of CupcakKe? I need that collab as soon as possible.

Fun fact: in one of their EP's released in 2015, they have a song titled "Steak & Titties." If that isn't pure lyrical genus, I don't know what is.

In the meantime, I'll be listening to this album on repeat until I get sick of it and waiting to see when they'll be blessing me with tour dates.

You can listen and download their album here.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

13 Times April Ludgate Perfectly Explained College

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis

2280

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

1. When you have to provide an "interesting fact" for your first day ice-breaker.

2. When your professor is babbling on and on in his lecture.

3. When you edit your friend's paper and they get an A.

4. When it's 2 AM and you remember you have a test tomorrow.

5. When you finish taking the test and you're pretty sure you failed...

6. ...but then you get the test back and somehow passed.

7. When you've been up for 12 hours straight writing a paper.

8. And then you manage to stay awake in class the next day.

9. When you have to butter up your professor for an extra credit opportunity.

10. When you're assigned a group project.

11. And your group-mates are trying to chat about life instead of the assignment.

12. When it's your last class of the day and you're about to go home.

13. But then you remember rent is due tonight and the anger comes back.
