    VIolet Grohl Creates A World of Her Own at Crystal Ballroom

    Discover WERS, Show Reviews

    Violet Grohl has been one of the most interesting artists that I have started listening to over the past year. Her music exists in this space of 90s grunge, but also there is a lot of atmospheric rock and shoegaze influence in her songs as well. Her music live can only be described as completely overwhelming. The loud bang of the drums, the smoothness of the basslines, and her soft yet imposing voice completely surround you when you’re at one of her shows. To borrow an old recording term, it was like a wall of sound moved across the room, absorbing everyone inside it.

    In June, Olivia Rodrigo celebrated extreme joy and extreme sadness with the release of her third studio album, you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love.

    Pick of the Week: Devon Gilfillian “Black Dog Rabbit Hole”

    Discover WERS, Pick of the Week

    “Black Dog Rabbit Hole” by Devon Gilfillian is one of those songs that feels almost like it has been around forever. The sound is so similar to classic rock songs that we love, but he still has managed to add his own modern twist on that sound along with his lyrics that capture the internal battles that we go through every day.

In what feels like a letter from an old friend, Kahan, through The Great Divide explores feelings of isolation and resentment with friends and lovers. Nowhere across the album is this more prevalent than on “Downfall.”
