Grouplove - The Big Mess Of Life

Grouplove

In a time filled with socioeconomic hangups, the biggest joke of a presidential race in history, and increasing anxiety of the general public we can't help but ask ourselves "How will young adults and the next generation get by?" In response to this question, albums like Big Mess are becoming an answer and voice to express modern-day life.

Big Mess was released September 9th on Atlantic Records. After spending a week with the record it's proven to be a thought-provoking, musical, yet exciting record. This record combines themes of youth, politics, growing up and the chaos of life. The albums wide range of music with big, energetic rock numbers like "Cannonball", electronic and atmospheric songs like "Good Morning", and catchy singles like "Welcome To Your Life". You can listen to "Welcome To Your Life" below.

Since 2010 Grouplove has been releasing albums, killing live performances, and charting with their music. Great success came in 2013 in the form of their sophomore album Spreading Rumors which placed #21 on the Billboard 200 and 8/10 on Metacritic. Their current single "Welcome To Your Life" sits at #16 on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart and we're anticipating where Big Mess will end up on the chart as a whole. The album has currently been out for a little over a week and the band has begun touring and making appearances once again after taking some time off to write the album. After the release of Spreading Rumors in 2013, the band took on a heavy load of touring and really stepped back before completing this record. As a whole, the record is a well recorded indie-rock record with good production value and countless catchy hooks.

The group has made some special performances in an effort to promote Big Mass; such as an appearance on The Late Late Show with James Corden, 2 NYC Shows at Rough Trade Brooklyn and Baby's All Right, and a performance onThe Late Show with Steven Colbert.You can watch Grouplove perform "Welcome to your life" live on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert below.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs.
