Support Your Fellow Females By Giving These 5 Lead Vocalists From Indie Bands A Listen

Looking for something new to listen to? If so, you've come to the right place. These five indie bands are all fronted by women who work hard to make some of what I believe to be the best chill, laid-back music. Listening to these bands, you can picture yourself finally going on that road trip you've been dying to take with one of their songs flowing out of your radio.

1. Soccer Mommy — "Your Dog"

Created in Sophie Allison's bedroom, Soccer Mommy has music that she describes to be "chill but kinda sad." The song "Your Dog" is off her first studio album, titled "Clean." While this may be her first studio album she has music on Bandcamp dating back to 2015 and has been playing guitar since the age of six according to Fader.

2. Kississippi — "Cut Your Teeth"

The band Kississippi was started in 2014 by Zoe Reynolds and Colin Kupson. According to Brooklyn Vegan Reynolds met him on Tinder, although as of 2016 he is no longer a part of the band. Kississippi lists their interests as "hot dogs and anxiety" and the "Lizzy McGuire Movie Soundtrack" as the music they like.

3. Sidney Gish — "Rat Of The City"

Sidney Gish is a band of her own, you can see this for yourself in the video of her performance of her song "Rat of the City." With the help of MIDI instruments and equipment, she can record herself playing a melody, loop it, and add in percussion to build well-rounded songs alone on stage.

4. Snail Mail — "Pristine"

After signing to Matador Records in 2017, Snail Mail has released their first full-length album, titled "Lush." Frontman Lindsey Jordan described "Lush" to have some songs that "are aggressively sad, and others are just…shrug emoji." Although after I listened to the album, I believed that those other songs sound like way more than "just shrug emoji." There is something living inside these songs and you can feel it.

5. Petal — "Magic Gone"

From Scranton, Pennsylvania, the band Petal was created by Kiley Lotz. What makes this band special is that the music Lotz writes is pure emotion, it's more than a melody. This emotion is very upfront in her new album "Magic Gone" which deals with her experiences with mental illness and coming out of the closet as bisexual.

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
