When I found you, I found me.

You've been in a rut. You couldn't get out. You became something you didn't want until you found the one you love. Life starts to feel pretty awesome now. "Never been saved but I've never come closer. Another year down and another year older. A million fresh starts, what I needed was closure. Yeah, I lost who I was but I found my composure." Now that you found that new beer you love so much, anything seems possible. For many, a person's first sour is an incredible experience. They are all the buzz right now but not because they're new…because they're like nothing else. Firstly, many sour beers don't taste like beer at all. In fact, many taste like juice. But there is one sour type that stands out from the rest of the sours and that's a gose. In America, beers with the label "Gose" are usually just simply sour and refreshing. They are perfect for the summer. They have the taste of fruit but are usually not so juicy that they...

Let's get loud like thunder.

"Thunder" by Shaed is all about getting loud. "Wherever you are, let's get loud like thunder." It's a short catchy song. It's easy to sing along to with all sorts of electronic sounds. It also doesn't hurt that the lead singer, Chelsea Lee, has a beautiful voice. This single that released alongside with "ISOU" is pretty chill but somehow is still full of energy. The band members, Spencer and Max Ernst, know what they're doing to keep their music entertaining with unique sounds you have never heard work together before. "Know in your heart, they won't drag us under. They can't blow. Every brick we lay will make us stronger." To be frank, this might not be the easiest song to write about. It's just too hard to put in words. You'll have to listen for yourself. Once you do start listening to this song by the electropop trio based in Washington, DC, you'll want to pair it with a refreshing and easy-drink...

There's a picture on the wall of Kanye West.

"Freaking Out," the psychedelic pop-rock song by The Wrecks, gets pretty weird… "In the bathroom, on my back, there's a picture on the wall of Kanye West. He's staring at me; he's staring at me. I'm freaking out; I'm freaking out." …as weird as an IPA labeled with a tiger shooting rainbow-lasers out of his eyes. Elysian's Dayglow IPA pairs perfectly with the odd sounds The Wrecks bring us in this new single. "I'm on the lawn. It's almost 3:00. I look around; I look at her; she looks at me. She's suspicious; she's suspicious. I'm freaking out; I'm freaking out." The lyrics and the sounds of the keyboard will automatically have you thinking, "this is weird." And even more so if you listen to the guitar rift in the first second as you stare at your newly found Dayglow bottle. But then you take a sip. It's crisp, a little juicy, and oh my—is that pineapple? Yes, it is! Now your on to the cho...

I got sunshine in my mind.

You might be a loser but if you're having fun, who cares? In some way or another, we are all kind of lame. This is one impression of Jagwar Twin's lyrics in "Loser," a new song presenting a laid-back and cheerful melody in his debut album, Subject To Flooding. "Television on your frame; everybody's all the same. I'm a loser, baby just like you." If being a loser is enjoying the same lifestyles as the majority of the public, then heck…being a loser is pretty great. It's August, and even though it's not a new experience, you probably want those beach vibes right now. Why is that? Because it's easy to enjoy the simple things in life like kicking back and drinking a lager in the sand. "I got sunshine in my mind. Wake up and I'm feeling fine. I got sunshine in my mind. Wake up and I say, 'Baby, I'm a loser.'" C'mon, hit the road and head to the beach this weekend! If you listen to Jagwar Twin on the way, you...
