Japanese Heavy Metal Bands
The land of the Rising Sun is known for many things like kabuki theater and high-tech electronics. It is less known for its heavy metal girl bands but they are making great waves and making themselves known both in Japan and in the world.

My Love for 5 Seconds of Summer
5SOS? Did you mean my favourite-perfect-dream band? If so, you’d be more than correct! This band is my life. When I say “my life” I’m talking about by being my main obsession in an existential crisis of an existence that really drowns out positive outlets and although all of that sounds childish, sullen, and questionable yet I’m still for certain I can still get away with loving them because they are them and they are emo and my heart just overjoys in gladness at the bare thought of thinking of the ists of sad boys that need whatever my sort of woman is deemed to be.

Fair In Fist Fights
We were hauling slabs of stone into the van it seemed like the way the pyramids were supposedly built as told by my fifth-grade teacher. However, these ancient materials were in fact made of metal and wood and other such materials. I just write the songs and words and know little to nothing about the rest of the processes. Unfamiliar of the way to properly handle the equipment that doesn’t revolve around an amplifier, pedals, a guitar, and six strings, I tend to handle with care. It’s freezing tonight as we make an eternal effort from the venue to the van to the venue to the van and so on until everything is accounted for except for one little piece you always leave behind as is accidental tradition. “Careful not to slip out there the ice is stealthy!” The venue owner shouts half wanting us to fall while in the throes of an all too cliché and cartoony cigar. Chicago’s many metal bands often treated us as if we were dirt in designer jeans when playing venues like this. The reality of the matter is these tight pants I wear were only thrifted and not picked out by the hands of Zeus to be worn with honor by his mighty hero Hercules. Instead, they were half-stoned chosen by a boy who thought they might give the impression his emotion drenched 4-minute confessions may be worth giving at least half an ear to. “Well?” I hear in a perhaps condescending tone as I’m broken out of a hollowed brooding artist like trance. “Oh, umm I’m sorry I was…Not really listening” I confessed shallow to my bandmate Dave Rice. “I said is that all? I mean I know I got all of my stuff and I think that’s all of yours and Micky says he’s got all of his shit, but I double checked cuz ya know Micky Moments but yeah I think we got everything but it always seems like we forget like at least ONE thing so I just wanted to make sure that you got everything you need, I have mine all accounted for and I think yours is too but I’m tryna make sure.”

BTS-Best Korean Pop Band
Here we take a closer look at the group and their record-breaking career, from the history of the Billboard and Grammy Awards to various collaborations and partnerships. The group debuted in 2012 with twelve members divided into two subgroups, EXO-M and EXO-K, performing music in different languages (Mandarin and Korean, respectively). EXO strives to make their songs available to as many people as possible - they are so committed to this mission that the group split into two subgroups: EXO-M and EXO-K meaning "m" and "k". is sugar. and South Korean, respectively.

Female cover singers
Have you ever listened to female cover singers? They are truly amazing. Whether they are part of a band or solo. They can sing anything. Most of them start out as cover singers. Some just stay cover singers while others branch out and start making their own music. Most of them have to be able to sing anything. In this article I am going to talk about 3 solo females and 4 groups or duos.

Musical Family Tree
It was a typical Saturday afternoon, sitting in my bedroom, playing cards with my sons. While playing a semi-competitive series of games of Blackjack, the boys and I were talking and the conversation of supporting/opening bands came up. I explained to them that a supporting band or an opening band was a band that performed before a headlining band and benefitted from their fan base. I told stories about the concerts and festivals that I’ve attended and the bands I’ve been introduced to as a result.
