“I’ve been having a horrible time pulling myself together,” belted The Menzingers’ fans in unison at the House of Independents in Asbury Park. This was all the introduction needed for the Scranton, Pennsylvania-based rock band as they began their set on Thursday, Nov 3. This kicked off day three of The Menzingers’ sold out four-day […]

Chainsaw Man – A Manga Turned Anime
Look in the sky: it’s a bird! It’s a plane! No, it’s a man with chainsaws coming out of his head and arms riding a shark through the air? On March 4, 2019, the first volume of Chainsaw Man was published, and it quickly grew in popularity. From its art style, plot, action, characters, and […]

Ye Loses Adidas
Rapper Kanye West, now legally known as Ye, lost his partnership with Adidas, the producers of his iconic Yeezy sneakers. Adidas’ announcement dropping its partnership with West comes after the celebrity promoted antisemitic rhetoric on his social media, showing clear opposition against the Jewish community.

The Revival of Emo at When We Were Young Festival
back in 2005, saying you saw My Chemical Romance, Avril Lavigne, Paramore, and Jimmy Eat World all in one day was pretty common; however, to do the same in 2022 is as close to a fever dream as one might have. This year, multitudes of fans got to experience performances by these bands, along with […]
Barbarian- A Horror Film Without Barbarians
Contrary to what the title may portray, the only barbaric thing about Barbarian was how painfully boring it was to watch. This horror mystery movie was anything but scary. Barbarian follows a woman named Tess, played by Georgina Campbell, who comes to the city of Detroit for a job interview. When Tess arrives in Detroit, […]
Daniel Howell Preps for World Destruction in New Show We’re All Doomed
The last thing I thought I’d have the chance to do was sit in a theater with my best friend listening to My Chemical Romance’s “Famous Last Words” blast over the speakers while waiting for a YouTuber I used to watch (and, admittedly, still watch) come on stage. But alas, sometimes life takes us by […]

The Return of The Tom, Mark, and Travis Show
“We’re coming. Tour’s coming. Album’s coming. Tom’s coming. Tickets on sale Monday. New song ‘Edging’ out Friday” was the caption on Blink-182’s social media posts on Oct. 11. The original lineup of the San Diego pop-punk band were reunited once again, and it was only fitting that their announcement fell right in with the adolescent […]
A Chilling Look Into Smile
Though the movie is called Smile, it had me anything but smiling during the entire film. This movie lives up to its genre, being horror/psychological thriller. Smile has a sense of constant eerie uneasiness. This film is not in your face with the jump scares; it takes its time scaring you and constantly keeping you […]
