Daddy Stingray Returns with his Sweet Talkin' Symphony
Who knew that without Daddy Stingray the world we know would barely exist. All the more remarkable since his musical sting and songwriting only blesses us every 15,000 years. In the desolate interim, Daddy Stingray lives in a cave nestled beneath a volcano. But he does at least make frequent appearances as Dave Hoffman - father, husband and entertainment scene professional.

The Greatest Band of All Time
When talking about the ranking of bands throughout the history of modern music, many will quickly argue that there is no true best band of all time. With legends such as Kiss, Guns N’ Roses, Black Sabbath, Def Leppard, and AC/DC, it can be difficult for uneducated people to pick one to lead the list. But when it comes down to ranking the best bands of all time there is no challenge to say that Led Zeppelin sits at number one. Many will quickly state that whichever band is their personal favorite will be the best, or who ever has sold the most records, etc... but with band members, guitarist Jimmy Page, singer Robert Plant, bassist and keyboardist John Paul Jones, and drummer John Bonham, their individual talent alone sits them in the top five guitarist, singer, bassist, and drummers. Gaining huge momentum in gaining their title of “Best Band Ever made”.

BTS's Sexiest Dance Moves
I just had to make a feature about the South Korean boy band that has taken the world by the storm, none other than BTS. So what does BTS stands for? In Korean, BTS stands for Bangtan Sonyeondan, which literally translates to Bulletproof Boy Scouts. And their fandom is called ARMY. In BTS's recent guesting on The Ellen Show, RM (the group's leader) explained that since they are called Bulletproof Boy Scouts, the fans, the ARMY, are standing beside them, which is such a really great notion.

The Struts: Your New Favorite Band
It may be a stretch, but I think the Struts might just save rock-and-roll. The first time I found the Struts, I was on the search for Humbug-esque (Arctic Monkeys 2009 album) music. I had Spotify on shuffle and was listening out for minor chords when I happened across the exact opposite: an album titled, Everybody Wants. Upon first glance, I was turned off, as the cover made it seemed too glitzy for my tastes. So I skipped past the album without even listening to one song.

A Colors Show: A YouTube Channel Fit for Everyone
About a year ago I stumbled upon the most unique, avant-garde YouTube channel in today’s society called Colors. Colors is based in Berlin, Germany, though their followers reach worldwide. Their motto is "all colors, no genres," providing a platform for not just a solo artist but also bands, to have a place to perform where they are associated with a color rather than a genre.

New Listening: Best Alternative Bands
As a huge fan of alternative music, old school rap, and the classics, its hard for me to listen to the radio nowadays, as I feel it is for some of you as well. One can only listen to the same band album from the 90s so many times before wanting to expand your horizons. So I put together a little collection touching down on a few different aspects of alternative music to find what fits your taste. Enjoy.

Spice Up Your Life - The Spice Girls Are Officially Reforming!
We always knew that the Spice Girls were going to carry on giving us a zig-a-zig-ah, and now 20 years after "Wannabe" shot them to chart fame, it looks like the famous girl power pop group are reforming. Someone made a phone call and the girls couldn't bear to say "Goodbye" again - this is a big case of "Viva Forever" as the '90s power troupe are back! No, we really aren't joking. After 20 years of loyal fan service, the girls are finally giving us what we really, really, want.

New Music Video Featuring Darth Vader And Batman Will Instantly Become Your Favorite
In today's world of music videos we have gotten used to videos that seem to have little to nothing to do with the song itself and lack any kind of heart. Music videos were meant to be a visual representation of an artist's message behind their song, but that is becoming less and less prevalent in the music industry.
