The five-track recording is available to stream or download for free after being released on the band's website Monday. It was recorded live at the Hotel Saint Cecilia in Austin, Texas.
You have undoubtedly heard about Taylor Swift’s open letter to Apple Music, and how she proclaimed that it would be unfair for Apple to benefit from giving prospective subscribers to their new streaming music service a three month free trial without paying recording artists for supplying Apple with three months of product and publicity.

Television is saturated with reality shows and talent competitions. Shows like American Idol and The Voice promise talented young individuals time in the spotlight for a chance to showcase their singing abilities. While the shows may hold some entertainment value, it is when each season ends the issues become extremely evident.
Normally we don't post about shitty bands but this was too good to pass up. Andy Biersack from Black Veil Brides tries to act tough on stage and offers to fight a heckler. Of course, he has to get riled up about it to show off to their preteen crowd instead of just kicking the guy out like Dave Grohl would do. Watch the hilarious confrontation below.
As a fan of Dave Grohl, I was very excited to ear Ghost’s new EP, “If You Have Ghost”, which he recorded and produced. Unfortunately, I was not very impressed with the new EP. It has a total of 5 songs. One of which is a cover of the song “If You Have Ghosts” by Roky Erickson. This is the song inspiring the EP’s name. Another of the four songs is a live version of their song, Secular Haze. There were a few problems I had with the EP.
My favorite from the EP was the Roky Erickson cover, the other ones just didn’t appeal to me. The song “I’m a Marionette” has a very boring and empty chorus, while the verses are pretty good and full of life. I feel that Papa Emeritus’s vocals are pretty enthusiastic, and that he doesn’t have a vast vocal range, making the singing a bit dragging and generic.
The song “Crucified” has very annoying versus, having no singing, just whispers dark lyrics, kind of like a Haunted House actor. The most different song from the others is “If You Have Ghosts”, the other songs kind of blend together, all having dark lyrics and written similarly.
The album was fairly boring at times, but a bit of it was written decently, and having a unique sound. I personally didn’t like the singers voice and I felt bored at times through the EP. I figured I would like a product of Dave Grohl, but it definitely wasn’t my cup of tea. Most of the songs are over five minutes too, making them get very interesting very quickly. I wouldn’t exactly recommend this album,but I could see many people liking their dark and unique sound to all of their songs.

Today’s contribution of our 5 Albums That Influenced Me feature comes from Coastline.
1. Jimmy Eat World: We love Jimmy Eat World because they are so diverse and you never know whats coming next , they are probably the biggest influence on us as a band because that’s something we aspire to do… we all grew up listening to Clarity and Bleed American.
2. Blink 182: I think i can safely say that Enema Of The State and TOYPAJ were the soundtrack to all of our teenage years , we have all been in a band at some point that tried to covered a Blink song.. and listening back to those albums now is the most nostalgic thing ever. Good times.
3. The Get Up Kids: As far as 90’s emo bands go , one of our favorite albums is definitely The Get Up Kids “Something To Write Home About” its one of those few albums where you don’t feel the need to skip a track and is full of relatable lyrics.
4. Nirvana: I love Nirvana because Nevermind basically taught me how to play the drums , i remember my Dad playing it all the time when I was 6 or 7 years old, and trying to learn the songs on my first drum kit.. nobody plays as hard as Dave.
5. The Foo Fighters: A few of us recently saw them at the Milton Keynes bowl , they played for 2 hours plus an encore and every song was a hit..covering all grounds with songs like Monkey Wrench then Everlong their live show is an emotional roller coaster! Probably the best live band in the world right now.
