One11Twenty's Sophomore EP, 'Better Days' Is Sure To Make Your Day Better

In today's world people are always looking for something to make their day better. Whether that be eating an entire pint of Ben and Jerry's ice cream, hanging out with friends, or finding great new music, it's the little things that seem to make someone's day. One11Twenty's sophomore EP, Better Days, is sure to do just that.

Led by Kyle Delfatti and Tim Jordan, the two have coined their own genre of lyric pop: a genre unique to them that highlights the use of cleverly poetic lyrics, while evoking a sound somewhere between Americana and hip-hop. The band's explanation is that, "Often production can overshadow the lyrics, but we didn't want our lyricism to be lost within the overall sound". One11Twenty derives their name from their previous band's dissolve. The first band had a total of $556 and when they broke up, each of the five numbers were left with $111.20 respectively.

After the success of their debut EP, Last 10 Seconds, that has gained over one million streams collectively, they have decided to start a new chapter. The new EP begins with "Ellendale", a track about following your dreams all the way down to LA. The song is named after a street in the USC area, where the band coincidentally played their EP release show.

Before the release of the EP, "Better Days" and "Famous Kids" were released as singles. The title track is a modern day love song about falling for someone, who you're not yet with, knowing that in time their will be better days. "Famous Kids" deals with having a type of confidence that makes you feel like you could take on anything, no matter what life throws at you.

In their production the band uses analog gear to give their music a more retro sound. According to the band, "When creating Better Days we used analog gear, which isn't used as often anymore. But we wanted to use this to give the project an 80's vibe, while having a modern sound". This is a perfect explanation of the overall vibe of the EP. It's the type of music that you could blast in the car while driving down the highway or dance around to with your friend in a cramped apartment.

Big things are ahead for One11Twenty and I look forward to seeing what they have up their sleeves next. But for now Better Days is available across all streaming platforms for your listening pleasure.

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?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
