“Swim Until You Can’t See Land” by Frightened Rabbit

Frightened Rabbit is one of the bands you’ll probably see as a reoccurring character on Will Call, as they are one of my favorites. It was hard to choose just one song or just one album, but “Swim Until You Can’t See Land” has always stood out to me. It is a lighthearted song, both […]

Album // Beachcombers Windowsill by Stornoway

Unfortunately, Stornoway has recently decided to close down shop after almost a decade of making music together.

Although you cannot expect any new music from the four piece […]

Live Show // Twiddle at Tumble Down on 7/30/2016

Great set list. Deep jams. This is Twiddle performing on day two of their festival in Burlington, Vermont. It’s happening again this year and based on last years performances and other acts, definitely a festival worth checking out.

Festivals // Boston Calling

To me, festivals are camping in the middle of no where and having four stages to choose from with artists performing at all times. That being said, Boston Calling is a great festival option if you are a city dweller or a local looking for a great option close by. This year’s lineup has to be […]

Song // “Up” as featured in Sing Street

“Up” is one of the many 80s inspired songs featured in Sing Street. Sing Street is a movie set in 1980s Ireland focusing on a poor family who cut costs by sending their youngest son to an all boys Christian boarding school. Infatuated with a girl he meets living at a female halfway house, he […]

Album // Midnight Organ Fight

If I were to suggest songs by Frightened Rabbit, the first three that I would think of are on this album; “The Modern Leper,” “Good Arms vs Bad Arms,” and “Old Old Fashioned.” Below is a link to “Good Arms vs Bad Arms,” a miserably beautiful song about a loved one finding comfort in the […]

Song // “The Detectorists” by Johnny Flynn

Anyone who knows me knows that I have gone through a recent obsession with Johnny Flynn. Flynn was born in South Africa, but moved to the UK at the age of two. He won a scholarship to an independent school where he sang in the chapel choir and was required to learn two instruments; the […]

Song // “Going Down the Road Feeling Bad” by The Grateful Dead

An American traditional song played by many, titled differently, but always amazing.
