Boy Bands And Girl Bands: When Did They Disappear?
There's been talk in the media regarding the lack of girl bands in the music scene ever since British pop group Little Mix announced their hiatus in 2021. Both Britain and America are suffering not only a girl band crisis, but also a boy band crisis. When you try and think of major boy bands that have hung around the charts in the last year, the only two names that spring to mind are the Jonas Brothers and BTS. Can they really carry this significant part of the industry on their backs alone for another decade?

Presenting Depeche Mode
Sooner or later, I was going to write about yet another one of my favorite bands — Depeche Mode. However, with the recent passing of Andy Fletcher (a.k.a. Fletch) on May 26, I thought now would be a good time to go ahead and write about Depeche Mode and a few of my favorite songs of theirs and then some.

The Impact Of The Beatles On American Culture
There is no underestimating the seismic change in the cultural values of the young baby boomer set in America, no better way of understanding the sea change that occurred in American youth in the early and mid-1960s than by examining the impact on American music due to the advent of the Beatles, the most influential rock band of all time.

The Beatles Vs The Rolling Stones. Top Story - June 2022.
The Beatles were the spearhead of the British Invasion and paved the way for the music of all the other English bands to follow. Their top rivals were the Rolling Stones. The Beatles, as we all know, were the loveable shaggy mop tops who captured America’s heart in the mid-1960s and beyond with their clean-cut, bouncy, irresistible pop rhythm songs.

BTS: Flying Solo
Alright ARMY, let's take a moment to digest this bittersweet news of BTS taking a break from the band. BTS announced that they will go on a temporary break from performing and making music together. Though it may sound a bit sad to many fans, it doesn't have to be bad news at all. Each member in the band is highly talented and each individual wants to be able to create something incredible in the music industry without the band. This is completely understandable since the boys have been together since 2013, when they debuted as rookies. Now, 2022 has come and the boys are no longer rookies but rather superstars that have sold-out massive stadiums, broken world records, spoken at the United Nations, and also used their influence to speak out against hate crimes in the United States.

UNDERATED
Motley Crue came into the public conscience in the early 1980s'. Formed in early 1981, the band was founded by a Frank Feranna. Frank was a teenage runaway who would soon rechristen himself with the name Nikki Sixx. Nikki rounded the band out with drummer Tommy Lee, guitarist Mick Mars, and lead vocalist Vince Neil. Their early live performances hit the sunset strip like a bomb. It was evident, that this was not your mother's rock and roll band. In fact, Motley Crue were your mother's worst nightmare.
