3 New Bands You Should Listen to Right Now: Rock Edition

I'm back with some more music for you! This time I'm gonna get a little crazy. These are three artists/bands you should be listening to Rock Edition!

1. Tiny Moving Parts

This is another band my friend who suggested Keaton Henson told me about in one of his vlogs on YouTube and I thought I'd check them out.

Minnesota-based and formed in 2010, they're a rock band with a lot of energy. Signed to Triple Crown Records, they're a mix of The Story So Far and Blink-182, and they're cute! Look at those happy little faces!

They've toured with You Blew It!, State Champs, and Modern Baseball, which I think is pretty awesome. I'd love to see them live one day.

They have music on iTunes, Spotify and they even have a Bandcamp. Just released their album Celebrate in May. Check these guys out if you like energetic punk.

2. Superheaven

You know, how I found out about these guys is pretty funny. Long story short I sat next to some kid on the bus on the way back from town on Halloween and he was dressed up as a grunge wannabe. I was the only one who seemed to appreciate it so we started talking about bands and he told me about Superheaven.

A grunge revival quartet from Pennsylvania they're gritty, non-stop sound is something you'd listen to after a shitty breakup or after getting into a fight with the parents. I can honestly say I wish I had these guys in my life sooner because I was such an angsty teen. They probably would've helped me channel it a bit better... Or make it worse. Who knows?

They have that emo boy sound that I love so if you like that kind of stuff, check out their latest album Ours Is Chrome that they made while signed under SideOneDummy Records.

3. One Day Waiting

Alright you metal heads, time to get local. From a small town called New Paltz in New York with two EP's out, they're an alternative metal band worth giving a shout out to because I'm always down to support local artists/bands. So far I've met their lead singer and he's super down to earth and since their music actually is really good I figured I'd give them some recognition.

With inspiration from bands like Seether, Korn, Pantera and Sevendust they've made some strides touring around the country with Otep, Fire From the Gods and Doll Skin and they'll be headlining The Chance for a second time this December. So if you're from the Poughkeepsie area, head out. They'll be playing with Evermore, St. Maria, Vision Serpent, Blue Movie and Stealing Deadwood.

An even amount of voice and screaming really gives these guys a unique sound. You should check out their latest release (and all of their music) The Key.

There ya' have it folks. The Rock Edition. Stay tuned for next week's edition of new music!

Being a part of any organization undoubtedly comes with the pitfalls of being grouped into negative stereotypes, and sororities are certainly no exception. Here are the top few things, that I find at least, are some of the most irritating misconceptions that find their way into numerous conversations...

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

There are plenty of obstacles that come when taking care of kids, but it's a very rewarding experience.

University of Wisconsin Branch Schools

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

11 Struggles Of Having An “Ethnic” Name

You'll never find any souvenirs with your name on it

thoughtcatalog.com

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

11 Things You Should Never Say To A Puerto Rican

Don't Be That Person

Bowling Green State University

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.
