For this report I chose to attend a show that featured the Plain White T’s. I chose this event because I wanted to see what was the difference between a local band and a band that is “popular”. The cool thing about this concert was that The Plain White T’s weren’t touring alone they also came with Beta Play and Matt McAndrew. I’ve never been a big fan of rock but as I researched more about the genre and all of its subgenres I discovered Alternative Rock. The event was held at the popular…

Throughout the last century, music has transformed drastically in numerous ways. For example, in the 1950’s, songs were almost entirely acoustic and incredibly organic. Artists in the industry did not have access to the technology available today, which made them rely on their talents alone.

However, about ¾ of the way through the song the whole tone changes and the song starts to pick up the tempo a little. The guitar gets louder and more upbeat and the melody is sung in a more aggressive…

I was recently introduced to an extraordinary game, Guitar Hero for PS2. My friends and I each pitched in to buy it for eighty dollars at a local gaming outfit. Since then, there has been nothing but laughter, shouting, and squealing rock & roll emitting from their house. Guitar Hero comes in a package deal; it includes the PS2 game, a plastic guitar controller with strap, and a few stickers for accessorizing the guitar. Other guitar skins can be bought, and even personalized, on Ebay.com. The…

Building his musical foundations upon the influences of Jazz artists Sam Cooke and Billie Holiday, London-native Kotz would forge his unique vocals with an instrumental knowledge of guitar, bass, piano, and drums. A student of the prestigious Bath Spa University, Kotz began experimenting with his sound, merging his acoustic and classical knowledge with film samples, trip-hop elements and electronic-infused productions to hone a signature style all his own.

the bed, and felt sand beneath my feet. Salt hung in the air, and somehow I knew without a doubt I was on an island. I could hear someone playing an acoustic guitar and singing. As I got closer, I realized the song was Life’s Been Good to Me. Three guys sat cross-legged around a large campfire. The one to the left was bald and playing the guitar.
