Upcoming Band, Rad Horror Needs To Be On Your Radar

"A teenage love and the talking heads."

No one cares about this EP as much as I do, but I am certainly going to try and make you.

This new band, Rad Horror, recently released their first EP, "Anti Teenage Sensation pt 1" and I will forever be grateful to Spotify for recommending it to me.

The EP has 5 songs on it, each one of them while pretty sad fills me with such happy nostalgia. The songs have both a punk feel and the feeling like they would be on the soundtrack of a teen romcom movie.

"Stay Out" is the real dark song, the one with the emo undertones. It's not my favorite on the EP, but it does bring me back to being on the bus in middle school just angry about my general existence.

Yeah, that's right, your girl went hard during her emo phase.

"Dark Times" is more the punk side. It's the song you're gonna bang your head along to while you're riding the train in the morning. It's probably the only pure happy song on the EP, it's about moving past the dark times. You might lose your cool for a bit there and crack a smile during it, but it's okay.

Now the last three on the EP have a completely different feel to them. These are the romantic teen movies songs, and I am obsessed with them.

"Only When You're Lonely" is the slow dance song that probably played at the junior prom part of the movie. It's the part where the couple you've been crying over for the past hour finally kisses.

"Benzos and Cigarettes" was the very first song I heard by this band, after I first heard it I couldn't stop listening to it. The title is accurate because I sure got addicted to this band after this song. It's a feel-good song. I highly recommend it as a great shower song, but don't go too hard, you might hurt yourself.

And now the hands-down best song. Ever.

"Teenage Love."

I kid you not I have been listening to this song for four whole days and it has been the happiest four days I have had since finals.

It sounds like an old Radiohead song, that you listened to when you're driving on the highway at night after a really awesome date. You're singing on the top of your lungs, the wind in your air, everything feels amazing. This song brings me back to driving late at night with my best friends in the car.

Which is odd, because this song is more on the depressing but it fills me with a happy feeling of longing.

Irony is a beautiful thing.

Now I know none of this was that convincing but I promise you, if you listen to this EP you won't regret it.

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."

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…
