11 Unique Artists That You Should Add To Your Playlist

I have been known to have a very odd taste in music. There isn't one genre I am stuck to, and there isn't one that I absolutely can't listen to.

Bands I listen to you may never have heard. Most you won't hear on the radio even though they deserve it.

With a variety of music I hope you find one of these artists admirable.

1. American Pinup

American Pinup is for sure one of the most underrated bands I know. Not only their recordings, but their live performances are wonderful. Their Alternative music with Lauren's unique voice is exactly what you need to hear today. I could write a whole article just on this band and it's band members. Maybe that will be a different article.

2. Icon For Hire

Icon For Hire has been through hell and back, but made it through with a roar. Ariel and Shawn have some of the biggest hearts I have seen. The connection with fans is more about popularity of their music. Ariel's YouTube channel "the REL Show" gives advice on self-care and self-help. Their lyrics connect to the fans unlike any others I know.

3. New Years Day

If Ash's hair doesn't intrigue, I'm not sure what will. New Years Day along with most bands I listen to have kind souls and big hearts. This is the opposite of what people think based on the style of music (that's dumb by the way...). However, if you look into behind the scenes work, you'll find a lot these bands do for raising awareness and donations.

4. Caro Emerald

Now if this isn't a drastic change from the last band... I don't know what is. My friend introduced me to Caro Emerald on a roadtrip. Ever since, I have played her on repeat. From Jazz to Pop I have yet to find a song I dislike of Caro's.

5. Zz Ward

Zz Ward is by far one of my favorite artists right now. You can find her voice on "Pretty Little Liars," a new Nascar commercial, obviously Youtube, along with many other platforms. Recently, I saw Zz live. She was even better live than in recordings.

6. Stitched Up Heart

Stitched Up Heart has helped me through so much. The connection they have with fans and how much they care about fans is amazing. This band definitely makes you feel that you belong somewhere.

7. Ally Hills

I started following Ally Hills on Youtube a few years ago. Originally, I was only following her comedic videos. Now, I am stuck on her music. Some of my favorite videos of Ally's are songs she writes through Q&A's and other video topics. Check out her channel it's worth it!

8. Wild Child

You know when you are on Youtube, and you have the "suggestions for you" section? Well, that's how I find a lot of my music. "Wild Child" was one of my suggestions and I couldn't be happier. Their Indie sound is calming and is perfect while I write or just hang around the house.

9. The Avett Brothers

You'll notice the change in music type from the others here. I usually don't listen to Folk Rock, but for some reason these guys have me hooked. The Avett Brothers are amazing live as well.

10. Young Lungs

I found "Young Lungs" as an opening act for a concert in their hometown of Pittsburgh, Pa. "Young Lungs" is an excellent band live, and quite enjoyable to stream as well. Their cover of "Harder To Breathe" is one of my favorites live. If you are ever in Pittsburgh, I highly suggest trying to see them perform.

11. Renee Phoenix

Renee Phoenix is rising in Alternative Rock. With her Joan Jett like vocals, Renee is more than deserving of her audience. You can also find Renee's vocals in her previous band "Fit For Rivals."

Each of these artists are amazing in their own ways. Even if you don't particularly love one of them share them with someone that might. These artists are more than deserving of that.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
