Is there anything I love more than a man-boy whining about growing up over a catchy riff? Probably not! Are you graduating? Do you need a whiny boy to sing about it so you know it’s real?? Don’t Worry! I’m here with the whiniest grad day playlist ever made to serve all of your senior… Read More
ALBUM: Modest Mouse – Strangers to Ourselves (2015) Label: Glacial Pace // Genre: Indie Rock // Best Tracks: N/A // Grade: FFFFFF holy shit this album sucks, were they even trying?
2014 was a weird year for music.
