While listening to The Sweaters' stylish discography, you wouldn't notice that the artists behind the music are merely fresh out of junior high.

This group of youngsters transcends the comforting and familiar sounds of Weezer, Car Seat Headrest and The Flaming Lips on their debut album, "Focus and Ask Again."

The student-made band includes brothers Henry and Ben Cohen playing alongside young bassist Anders Harms. Their goal? To explore different styles by genre-bending and having fun with their creations.

Local indie-rock band The Sweaters pushes boundaries with their genre-bending musicYouTube

These Columbia, Missouri natives have been playing as a unit for about two years, and yet, they were able to produce a five-song indie album that you will crave to hear again and again.

According to the four-day long True/False Film Fest, "only one-third of The Sweaters is old enough to drive, and already they are becoming local favorites with their indie power-pop hooks that you couldn't part with if you tried".

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."
