One Direction Members as Their Own Songs
I don’t think I’m alone when I say this: when we listen to music, we often make connections to people. A certain song, no matter how subtle the message might be in reality, can make you think of a person; maybe even one you’ve never met. This is part of what makes music so personal. For every single person in the world, one song can take on so many different meanings. Then suddenly, the music that you’ve connected to these people make them feel closer than ever. You don’t have to imagine them; you can feel their presence. That’s the magic, I think.

Back to the Beginning: In Real Life Returns to The Roxy
In 2017, several months after they first became a band, In Real Life played their first full show at The Roxy Theatre in Los Angeles, California. They played a set comprised of their first two singles, a couple of Christmas songs, and a few covers. Two years later, on October 5, 2019, they played The Roxy again. This time though, it was to a sold-out crowd on their second headlining North American tour. This set was comprised of songs off their debut album, She Do, a solo song written by each of the members, and just one cover. They brought it back to where it all started, but a lot has changed for the group since that first Roxy show.

There's Rock Music...
The backdrop: Rock music is a diverse genre of popular music that emerged in the early 1950s as "rock and roll" in the US and established into a variety of different styles in the 1960s and later, especially in the US and UK. It has its roots in rock and roll in the 1940s and 1950s, a style heavily drawn from the genres of blues, rhythm and blues, and country music.

Memes 1D Fans Can Painfully Relate To
1. Family is more than just blood. They're great, mom. In fact, they're thriving. They just got out of their 4 o'clock photoshoot, and are now headed to their primetime interview taping. They're out there living their best life. How do I know? I stalk Twitter, that's how.

Where Can You Find Great Music in Western New York?
Western New York is an amazing fertile musical “farmland” that just seems to grow great bands, great musicians and great music scenes. The scenes are vast and plentiful, and they range from jazz to blues and from punk to rock and to alternative to rap, with a little singer/songwriter thrown in for good measure. Live music is doing fine and well in and outside of Buffalo.

The Most Epic Rock & Metal Bands
There are way too many bands out there that sound the same, but are on the front page of Kerrang magazines, on all the commercialised rock and metal websites, and print media, but how many bands that don't shout inaudible noise into a mic for four minutes that has no emotional and musical depth do you actually know of?

Music Biz 101
Ever since I watched The Beatles perform on The Ed Sullivan Show on February 9, 1964, I knew exactly what I wanted to do and be in Life. A Musician, a Songwriter, a Performer. Little did I know how long and hard the road would be. I started banging on pots, pans, cardboard boxes or on anything that sounded like a drum. Whenever a song title, idea or concept seeped into my mind, I wrote it down on paper, napkins, or even scraps of paper, whatever I could find. As a boy of 13 or 14, I remember having shoeboxes filled with scraps of papers with song titles I came up with. One day, my grammar school buddies and I got together to do our first music jam. I had just bought a snare drum, while my friends played on acoustic guitars. We would listen to records by our favs: The Beatles, the Rolling Stones, The Who, The Kinks, The Dave Clark 5, The Hollies, The British Invasion groups, The Zombies, The Animals, The Yardbirds, Santana, The Bee Gees, The Young Rascals. Then we moved on to more elaborate groups and artists: Jimi Hendrix, Cream, Bob Dylan, Jeff Beck, The Doors, Simon & Garfunkel, and in between, all of the Motown artists, along with so many Musicians, Songwriters and Artists that it is impossible to list them all.

Undecided Says "Hello"
I've known Undecided for quite some time. Their name is easy to remember and they've got an active channel and Instagram account. Sometimes, when I'd see them in my feed, I'd like their posts, watch some videos of theirs, and then proceed to play their music on repeat.
