ATO Records

The 26-year-old American singer/songwriter from Red Bluff, California released her debut album "Emotions and Math"on June 6, 2016. The album features 12 tracks of her unique approach to grunge rock with heavy shreds of blues/rock guitar and a touch of pop music. Margaret Glaspy’s voice is the most critical instrument in the process, featuring fierce lyrics and catchy drawls. The singer has a label with ATO Records and is currently working on a new one with Sear Sound studios in New York.

Growing up in Red Bluff, California, the songwriter knew her musical abilities at a young age, receiving aid to Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts. However, the younger Glaspy only attended for one semester, fine tuning her music on her own after. “I wasn’t able to afford school after that semester, so I snuck into workshops and master classes at the school and started writing songs more seriously”( “Emotions and Math” June 16, 2016). The musician lived in Boston for three years after school, working odd jobs and progressing in her creative work. Paying off after signing with ATO records in 2015, she has since toured with multiple other indie artists, and debuted her first album.

"Emotions and Math" creates a fresh new take on pop rock and grunge, tied together with Glaspy’s raspy, rich, drawling voice. Her lyrics match her sassy, grungy sound. “Call me a rebel, call me a renegade, whatever fits the mold you’ve made”, from the track "Situation" caught my attention especially. Besides her songwriting, the intense shredding of rock guitar mixed with blues accompanying it had me hooked. Margaret can be found on YouTube, iHeartRadio, Spotify, Pandora, Play Music, and TuneIn. If you enjoy Jeff Buckley, Neil Young, all types of rock, or can just appreciate good music in general, give Glaspy a listen.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
