So you obviously know by now that I recently went to Nashville, Tennessee (I promise this is the last post you’ll see about it). It’s been on my list for a while because of all the music it inspires.

Achieving the Perfect Balance Between Grunge and Hip Hop: Tangerine

October 9, 2017.Reading time 3 minutes.

It is few and far between that I like an opening band so much, their entire discography ends up being added to my Spotify library. Tangerine happens to be one of these rare occasions. When they opened for Bleachers, I was completely entranced by Marika’s delicate voice, coupled with the guitars’ screeching melodies. The concoction […]
