New Music Video: Explosive Windwaker Anthem “SIRENS”

It's rare for a new band to make me immediately feel nostalgic towards their music--but that's exactly what Windwaker did with their anthemic new single, "SIRENS". Listening to Windwaker's music for the first time made me feel like I was sixteen again, but in all the best ways. It's almost as if they took everything that I loved about a typical Warped Tour lineup and distilled it down, yet still made it sound fresh somehow. See for yourself-- Catch the video for "SIRENS" by Windwaker on YouTube now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZr1Vr7TvZw There's something deliciously melodic about "SIRENS" that I can't get enough of. However, don't let the contagious melodies fool you--this song is just as hard and in-your-face as others within metalcore-and-related spaces. Spea...

National Library Week: A Celebration of Books Through Music

It’s National Library Week here in the United States, and this year’s theme is “There’s More to the Story.” This is definitely fitting (for our purposes, at least), especially given the fact that this article is not only about libraries themselves... but also about music related to stories or literature in some way. Before we get to all that, we need to set the record straight: libraries are awesome. While COVID may have had a tremendous impact on library systems due to closures and low foot traffic, and many people consider libraries to be ‘dead’... They aren't. But they do need your help. And honestly, you probably need your library more than you think, too. "What do I need a library for? I have my cellphone/the Internet/whatever." Listen—I get it. I love my hand...
