Crystal Ball by 2/14: Review In 2019, 2/14 was formed by frontman Sky Carlson as a songwriting project while he was teaching himself guitar; the band has since developed into something beyond the Y2K pop-punk group Carlson had envisioned in high school. The New York City band, which includes drummer…

Indelible Stain by Devine Lie: Review If you had a specific genre that sparked your first journey into music, what would it be? For me, it’d be alternative rock, and a bit of indie too. Luckily, the remarkable aura of alternative rockers Devine Lie and their track “Indelible Stain” satisfied…
