Bear came out with an album in 2009 titled, Veckatimest this was the first album that gave us a glimpse as to what Grizzly Bear would develop to look like in 2016. For the most part Grizzly Bear remains in the same genre: psychedelic pop, indie rock, and art rock. The band started with Ed Droste as a soloist, then time later the band was formed. The new band composed Yellow House in the year 2006. Yellow House was a darker and creepier album in comparison to Veckatimest. As of today, the band…

Records. Their music consists of house music, funk, techno, disco, rock music, and synthpop. They had significant popularity in the late 1990s. They are also known for their visual stylization and disguises associated with their music. The duo have worn elaborate helmets and gloves to give of robot personalities. After 2001, they have rarely been seen on TV and routinely do not have interviews. Originally, they were in an indie rock named Darlin’. After a short period of time, they disbanded,…

Last weekend, in the Nation's Capitol, Nas performed at the famous Kennedy Center for two sold out performances to kick off the Kennedy Center’s One Mic: Hip Hop Culture Worldwide Festival. Backed by an eighty-piece orchestra, Nas dressed in a black tuxedo, performed his classic album Illmatic in it's entirety to a full house of a diverse crowd. Mass Appeal Media was along for the epic event and captured exclusive photos oh the once in a lifetime performance. Nas will celebrate the 20th…

living the Rock ‘n' Roll lifestyle, which made them much better role models for the younger generation than previous popular musicians. Chris Martin said in a 2011 interview, "I've lost all respect for fame, but I haven't lost all respect for respect. So the one great thing about being famous is that I get to meet people who I respect" (Dennis, 2011). They live like normal people, they don't drive extremely…

Jaden Southworth 4 November 2016 We got the beat- Rock music through the ages The music industry is, and always has been, based purely off of supply, demand, and sales. It all began with the creation of sheet music; once music took a physical form, it was desired by rich aristocrats who paid for it in full. Then came the phonograph, a device invented by Thomas Edison that used phonographic disks to play recorded audio out loud. It was originally intended for the use of business documentation,…

Nickelback I chose to do my individual project over the rock band Nickelback. The group started out as an Indie metal band in Hanna, Alberta, Canada. It wasn’t until 2000, when they broke into the mainstream music scene in the U.S. and Canada. The band was created by the Kroeger brothers, Chad (the leader and vocalist) and Mike (the bassett). The Kroeger brothers always dreamed of a life of Rock and Roll. To complete the band, Ryan Peake, Ryan Vikedal?, and Brandon Kroeger (cousin of…

sounds of rock and roll. Standing apart from all the rest, a new up and coming Indie Pop band, put on quite literally the greatest show I’ve ever seen. At that concert I experienced a feeling of true exhilaration. Nothing else can come close to the feeling right before they took stage, when the lights cut out, leaving everyone in absolute darkness and all you could hear was the manic roar of the awaiting crowd. The energetic opening acts; Cruisr and Joywave, both arising American Indie rock…

generations that were not my own and began listening less to overplayed pop songs from my generation. Don’t get me wrong, I do love good pop, modern rock, and indie rock songs. My musical taste ranges from Aretha Franklin to The Rolling Stones to Bob Dylan to Fleetwood Mac to The Animals and Nina Simone. Some of the things I love about classic rock are that their songs are timeless, their lyrics are unforgettable, their band members have unique styles and they do not rely solely on a computer to…

Conceived in the 60's, Born in the 2000s The US and the UK have spent the last six decades swapping sound and cross pollinating music to give their worldwide contemporary audiences more than we could ever ask for. Until the early 1960s, the stream was mostly a one way flow with the music of Elvis, Buddy Holly, Jerry Lee Lewis and James Brown, to name a few, watering the creative talents such as McCartney and Lennon and The Rolling Stones. But it was the sounds of the Fab Four reaching the…

again on their twelfth studio album entitled “It’s Hard”, a collection of covers that originally inhabited the pop, rock, country, jazz, and electronic music universes. Its concept contrasts with the last year’s mandatory album, “The Bad Plus Joshua Redman”, whose tracks were composed by the members of the quartet. The album opens with “Maps”, an original song by the American indie rock band Yeah Yeah Yeahs, which is treated with a relentless musical hammering produced by bass-drums movements,…
