An Eagles Tribute
No matter what generation you were born of or where you reside on planet Earth, you are aware of the country/classic rock band known as The Eagles. While I was in the Navy, I went all over, and it was always surprising to hear of the familiar trio of things that Americans are known for: cowboy hats, Zippo lighters, and The Eagles. I was amused the first time I heard this random list, but then I kept hearing it – no matter the country I visited. I tried to assure these local nationals that: 1) Not everyone wears Cowboy hats in America – even out west, for that matter. 2) Zippo lighters are nice and come with a lifetime guarantee, but not all Americans smoke, and of the ones that do… well, most of them use cheap throw-away lighters. However, for The Eagles, I could not rebuke, They are the American band... and we are proud of them.

Who's Who on Lady B's List?
Hola hola my darlings! Lady B here again with a few other bands that I feel y’all would get a kick out of. This entry is to pay homage to groups that are local to the New York City area. As music lovers, it is always a pleasure getting to see and know bands that live within our own locations. When a person finds a new band that they like, it tends to be a bittersweet thing; at least from my experience. This is because while I may have found a band that has a sound and presence that I can completely get behind; most of the time, they are a band that is COMPLETELY “out of my jurisdiction.” Artists such as Karen Stever from Ontario, Canada, The Scars Heal In Time hailing from Texas, Infinity Spree from Ohio, POYNTE from Georgia; the list goes on. You all I bet have had this dilemma every now and then where a band you love is playing on a tour but it turns out they are playing NO WHERE NEAR YOU! It flat out sucks!

#OutHedley2k18: The Perspective of a Former Fan Girl
This week, popular Canadian pop-rock band Hedley were hit with numerous allegations of sexual harassment and assault against young female fans. As a former hard core fan of theirs, the allegations are shocking and have me reflecting on all their shows I've been.

Why You Should Listen to Brockhampton
Hip-hop has become the predominant genre of music in the United States. It offers listeners a wide variety of topics that can relate to one's life in many ways. However, something fresh and innovative was needed in a year full repetitive sounds. And this is when the experimental L.A. "boyband" Brockhampton saturated us (no pun intended) with three full-length projects in the span of a couple months. The Saturation trilogy will stand through the ages as one of the most risky but smart projects ever released, and its formula challenges modern sounds in a great way that will leave your mouth watering after each track. But what makes their craft so unique and powerful?

Let's Talk About K-Pop
We live in a world filled with a thousand different music genres, so much, that sometimes we hear some song we like and we don’t find the specific place to categorize it. Like the rivers, music genres are intercepted and converted to some place, where it gets stuck and at one moment, by different factors, the cycle begins again.

Return of the Boy Bands
Most of the popular music that came out in the 90s and early to late 2000s was from boy bands. Some of the well-remembered boy bands are Boyz II Men, Backstreet Boys, N*SYNC, Linkin Park, O-town, New Kids on the Block, Jonas Brothers, and One Direction. After many of these boy bands ended their group, solo artists began to dominate the music industry. However, since as 2015, there have been a couple of boy groups that have been put together and now produce music that you may have never heard about: In Real Life, New Hope Club, Pretty Much, RoadTrip, and Why Don't We

I Don't Know How but They Found Me
I Don't Know How But They Found Me is an obscure, 80s-inspired two man band which is, in my opinion, incredibly underrated. The two members, Dallon Weekes and Ryan Seaman, were originally in band together called The Brobecks along with other members until their split in 2009. After that, Dallon and Ryan went their separate ways until finally coming together again.
