Teenage Dirtbags
There are certain songs that encapsulate a moment in time for a generation. Teenage Dirtbag by Wheatus is one of those iconic songs. A tune that overshadows a fantastically written debut album that was released 25 years ago. Decades later, the song resonates stronger than ever. Seemingly experiencing a revival in popularity, similar to other songs of that vintage being rediscovered by a whole new generation. So when their Canadian tour was announced, I had to complete the

Better Days, Hands Down
Two generational defining titans rolled through the Scotiabank Saddledome on Monday evening. Dashboard Confessional soared with its signature raw yet refined sound that defines a generation and a genre. Chris’ vocals delivered studio quality sound, but also with an expansive maturity that effortlessly navigated new sonic territory.

Raw and inspiring. His pure intake. Such as stories about his sister. A proper dose of artistic background history distilled in common connective threads. In his own words, he’s from a town of 800 people with no stop li

Talk Tonight
September 6th. Oasis at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California. It took me a few days to even process that moment. Seeing the Gallagher brothers together again on stage was not on my concert bingo card. So when the tour was announced, I had to be there. Oasis shattered any preconceived expectations I had going into the show. From the opening track, Hello , you could sense this wasn’t an ordinary concert. This was a culmination of decades in the making. Dreams made, buck
