Track of the Week: “The Boys Are Back in Town,” by Thin Lizzy
If you were asked to name an Irish band, you’d probably name U2, right? Me too. Despite donning self-indulgent, pro-wrestling-esque names like “The Edge” and “Bono,” U2’s worldwide success makes […]

I’ve always been a casual Collective Soul fan. I have mp3s all of their hits, but I haven’t really kept up with the band since their heyday in the 90’s. […]
Track of the Week: “Intentions Clear,” by Umphrey’s McGee
Umphrey’s McGee is known for their eclectic style and imaginative compositions. They take seemingly unrelated melodies and harmonies and merge them. Think of them as surrealist musicians with a flair […]
