JVC STEREO HEADPHONES HA-S360 REVIEW

Hello Music Lovers,

Today I will be sort of moving away from the topic of album reviews and more on to tech. I am going to be reviewing the JVC Stereo Headphones HA-S360. These headphones are a good cheap alternative to Beats or Sennheiser headphones, but can still deliver the same great quality sound as the more expensive brands.

YOUTUBER JOEY GRACEFFA RELEASES NEW COVER VIDEO

22-year-old YouTuber and CBS' The Amazing Race contestant Joey Graceffa has released a music video to his cover of Walk The Moon's Anna Sun, which he premiered at Digifest in NYC on June 1st. The 6 minute video can be viewed below and the song can be bought on iTunes here. There are 2 versions of this song to buy: the first is the music video (unedited) version, and the second is the shortened 5-minute version. My opinions on the cover? It's a very good cover of the original song, his vocals are great and the video matches the song perfectly. Good job Joey!

Neighborhoods EP - Clones of Clones Review

Clones of Clones are an up-and-coming Alternative/Rock band from Washington DC, who have actually been around for about 10 years, but haven't really released any music. Their 4-track debut EP, Neighborhood, is quite something. Even though it is only 4 tracks long, it thoroughly sums up what the band is about and their genre of music.

Aly and AJ ARE BACK!

Yep, it's official. After years away from the music scene, Aly and AJ Michalka are back! 78Violet is the name of their new project. They are releasing new music very soon and their new single is called Hothouse. If you're not familiar with who Aly & AJ are, they released a song called Potential Breakup Song in 2007 which is their most successful single to date. If you haven't heard of them or the song, you can listen to the song below. Let's hope this new music can persuade a new generation of fans to like them as much as the older fans do.

Onyx - Pop Evil Album Review

"Onyx" Album Cover, designed by Christopher Lovell
Hailing from the great state of Michigan, this band of hardcore rockers have actually been around since 2001, formed from pieces of other Michigan bands, known as TenFive. They independently released an album, War of The Roses in 2004 and a 3-track EP, Ready or Not in 2006, the latter featuring the concert favourite Somebody Like You, which also features on their debut studio album Lipstick On The Mirror, released in 2008. In 2011, Pop Evil released War Of Angels which contained lots of rock songs but also ballads, and got good reviews. Can Onyx exceed the standard of their past albums?

DEMI - Demi Lovato Album Review

DEMI album cover
Demetria "Demi" Lovato has had quite a hard time over the last few years, going to rehab for cutting and an eating disorder, which she has struggled with since a very young age. Her 2011 album Unbroken and smash-hit single Skyscraper represented this, and people found that they could relate to the songs on a deeply emotional and personal level. 2 years later, she has tried to show how she has matured with her latest album DEMI, which has been done very well, with songs that I don't think she could have pulled off 2 years ago on Unbroken.

So Alive - The Product [EP] Review

This Michigan band, made up of B.J., R.J., Rich and Charlie have had quite a breakout in the last few years. Their first EP, Break The Silence was released in 2009 and got a big following in the Midwest of the USA. It sold over 4,000 copies, and the band's reputation grew with an extensive Midwest tour. They've opened for other local bands like Pop Evil and have won a lot of new fans over with their heavy guitars and undoubtedly catchy choruses. What further opportunities will the second six-track EP, So Alive bring for the home-grown Alternative rockers?

Almería - Lifehouse Album Review

After 12 years of making music, Lifehouse are still at it. With the success of their first album, No Name Face back in the 90s (which sold two and a half million copies), the band knew they struck a chord with people, and so created more and more albums, including a few hit singles ("Hanging By A Moment", "You and Me", "First Time", and "Whatever It Takes"). In December 2012, they released Almería, their sixth studio album.
