Ever since moving operations from his parent’s basement in Tacoma, Washington to Brooklyn, 20 year old Brad Oberhofer has been carefully honing his own brand of bedroom pop, which is as affecting and genuine as it is naively chaotic. Charmingly skewed and ramshackle, Oberhofer’s classic, melody heavy indie rock sound manages to meld Brian Wilson sized hooks with expansive instrumentation and kooky, unpredictable song structures. The intense production mixes programmed…

There are a number of different live show reviews that are released on a regular basis. However, many of these concert videos are seriously lacking something.

Before the success of his group Here We Go Magic, Luke Temple worked full-time as a plasterer. At nights after work, he spent his hours crafting what would become Here We Go Magic’s self-titled debut. During the days he wrote a completely different set of songs in his head. The resulting record Don’t Act Like You Don’t Care shines with clarity and daylight, in contrast to Here We Go Magic’s…

While this book is paced more towards upper-division courses, I believe that Adler and Adler do a great job in filling in any holes in terms of literature or concepts that an individual may have present. Where the textbook succeeds the best…
