About Me!

Hey! I’m Becca and this is my site where I write band recommendations. This whole site was started simply cause I was getting tired of friends asking me what bands they should listen to and what music they should buy. I never imagined people would read it and it had never crossed my mind that this was such a great way to get to talk to so many awesome people! Sure, there are albums that I don’t like, but I find it’s best to just not write about it rather than to write a negative review. There’s no point in wasting readers’ time by talking about how shitty a band is. If you ever have any requests for a write up, want to comment on something, or just want to talk about music in general, hit me up! I love talking to new people (and the old). I bite, but it’s the internet, so what’s the worst that can happen?! ;)

Gym Class Heroes- The Quilt

I understand if this album doesn't appeal to everyone considering it's an album inspired by so many different genres, but I hope that doesn't prevent people from listening. Everyone's heard of Gym Class Heroes, but I promise that The Quilt is a different kind of hip-hop. It goes where no other band has gone before. Disashi Lumumba-Kasongo's guitar playing is all pop-punk and Travie is unlike any lead singer. Travie's been through... a really rough year, but The Quilt doesn't need to be listened to out of sympathy. I promise the vocals on Live A Little will blow you away and make you do a double take (and it's catchy!!!). But what's my favorite song to blast in the car? Peace Sign/Index Down. And the song that's been stuck in my head the most is... COOKIE JAR. :D. I think it would be impossible to list every genre I hear in this album, but all I can say is, 'The Quilt' is the perfect title for the the album . Gym Class Heroes has taken so many inspirations, and sewn them together to make something beautiful.
