In 1985, my step father stood in a muddy field waiting for his favorite bands of the time, the Violent Femmes, to step on stage to play one of their first Summerfest shows. He and his buddies had packed into a 71’ Volkswagen Beetle, beer cans on the floor, and drove from Green Bay to Milwaukee for the show. Never in a million years would I have thought my step dad was cool enough to go see an alternative band like that but he was a part of post-punk/alternative music following of the 1980s. This…

interested to learn about her musical preferences that she enjoyed while she was a high school student in her generation. My mother response was that she enjoyed much of the popular music at the time but leaned towards rock bands. Growing up in the Seattle area, she enjoyed listening to bands such as Nirvana and Pearl Jam because of their local connection. She said that as a teenager she didn 't listen to as much music as her peers but still enjoyed listening to the music on the radio and her…

groove to the rhythm. I began writing down my thoughts, studying bands and I even changed my style. Long hair, skinny jeans, the works. I joined a band with the best guitarist I knew. Despite me being tone deaf then we managed to make a song and play it for everyone we knew. This was a triumphant victory, to me. To my guitarist, this was a bore. Growing weary of the duo he departed with two of our mutual friends to form a new band. Me? I was devastated. Over time our friendship vaporized and…

Will Not Bow. When I say the tone is heavy, I mean that the music carry a weight behind them. A weight in the way it sounds, but also the lyrics themselves.

Making songs with weight behind the words creates a broad range of music you can…

Though it did lead to licensing deals in other movies and the band was invited to perform in the film Vendetta, with Roger Corman. Song placements followed in Reform School Girls, and the Goonies which gave Gehman the initiative to find new members. Tasked with the search for a new guitarist and rhythm section, Flores…

brings me back to my teenage years, when I was a young girl longing for a relationship with my dream guy. This band was introduced to me by an English teacher from highschool whom I had the biggest crush on. I connect with this song because it reminds me of the relationship I had with this teacher. He stole my heart at first sight, introduced me to beautiful music, and showed me a band that forever changed my life. In my junior year of highschool, my English teacher was going away for a week to…

Imagine being at your favorite artist’s concert and singing along to your favorite song with your friends and having a great night. Then, the music stops and you hear ear defining sounds coming from inside the arena. You look around and see blood, bomb fragments, and people running all around you trying to escape the nightmare. This was a reality for thousands of people at Ariana Grande’s concert in Manchester in May. The terrorist attack at Ariana Grande’s concert in Manchester caused an…

sex, drugs, and the impressed amounts of people who came to the event as well as the debt the creators got afterwards in three days. Time went by, an other big music festival was born in 1999 and named Coachella which is about live music of famous bands and artworks. People nowadays still affirm that Coachella is an event that was original from Woodstock and represents the same values. However, some people reject that idea and think that both events have different concepts. Grange, Camille.…

The ad I chose is for a concert known as Winter Jam. It is advertising the artists and price for the upcoming concert. Winter Jam was created by a band called Newsong, and they are the ones who help make it happen every year. Holt International is the organization who helps Newsong to advertise Winter Jam. The ad first appeared on Winter Jam’s Facebook page. It targets people from all age groups, races, and sexes, who love Christian music. This advertisement sells a concert viewing to anyone who…
