Cornelia Murr joins Matt Maltese on his current tour, Tour For You My Whole Life, which has introduced me to her incredible discography. Her newest album, Run to the Center, was released in February of this year and encapsulates the introspective, intimate nature of her music.

Step aside ghosts and ghouls. Halloween might be labeled as the “scary” holiday, but here at the Digital Press, Halloween is evocative of the sweetness of childhood. As we look back on Halloweens past, we remember community and the coziness of nostalgia.

Almost Monday brought its San Diego surf rock sound north to the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles last Thursday. Characterized by an edgy yet upbeat style, the trio confirmed itself as a rising voice in the indie pop space. Almost Monday is currently performing as the opening act of The Band CAMINO’s North American tour comprising 27 different cities. The group’s energy made it immediately apparent that the Hollywood show was their home stop along the tour.

How does a band manage to keep fans interested over 20 years without becoming nostalgia-fueled, stuck playing crowd favorites, or abandoning their roots to attract a wider audience? All Time Low seems to have figured it out. Consisting of Alex Gaskarth (lead vocals, guitar), Jack Barakat (lead guitar, backing vocals), Zack Merrick (bass, backing vocals), and Rian Dawson (drums), the pop punk band recently released their tenth studio album, Everyone’s Talking! It’s a reflective work that stays true to the band’s long curated pop punk sound while also looking forward.

Known to most as the effortlessly charming Steve Harrington, Joe Keery is much more than a Stranger Things heartthrob. Under his musical alias Djo (the “D” is silent), he’s built a world of retro synths and an ever-growing cult following. I recently restarted Stranger Things to prepare for the fifth and final season set to drop this Thanksgiving. Whether I’m listening to my Djo mix on Spotify or investing in the rewatch, I witness a lot of Joe Keery day-to-day.

Last Friday night, Wednesday — a five-piece alt rock band from Asheville, North Carolina — took over the Fonda Theatre. Trucker hats, camouflage, and vintage graphic tees adorned, the rest of the crowd seemed just as excited as I was to hear Wednesday’s latest release, Bleeds, live at the historic venue.
