My Reaction to Machine Gun Kelly's "concert for aliens"

Wow. A two posts in one day? Well its been an eventful Wednesday. I got into Machine Gun Kelly last year after watching The Dirt and listening to his last album, Hotel Diablo - which I named best album of 2019 and I stand by that. When he said he was going to do a pop-punk album I was excited. I had hope in him before he even started releasing new music. His cover of Paramore's "Misery Business" with Travis Barker blew me away and I set my standards higher for the album. He has yet to disappoint with every song he's released since. Today, he released the music video for "concert for aliens" and let me just say ITS GREAT! The video is funny and I love how the lyrics moved. I loved the animation. It enters my top favorite lyric videos. Let's talk about this song. I am grateful for MGK because recent years has showed that pop-punk bands have focused more on poppy sounds and songs.

My Initial Reaction to I DON'T KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME's New Single "Leave Me Alone"

Let it be known that I'm starting to write this at 12:09am on Aug. 5. I'm on my third listen to the song. This is a reaction and me casually screaming about this amazing bamd. As you may or may not know, I have been a fan of I DON'T KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME since pretty much the beginning. I've been a fan of their frontman, Dallon Weekes, for YEARS! He's a hero of mine. I've written about him and iDKHow before on this blog. Anyway, today iDKHow released a new single titled "Leave Me Alone". I absolutely love it. I think it's hands down my favorite song the bamd has released yet! The funky sound, the bass, the vocals, the drums. Every thing about this song gets me hyped! I'm blown away, yet again by these gentlemen. Not shocked as I've loved every song they have released thus far. I got the unbelievable privilege of seeing them perform live back in Nov. of 2018 - which is still the greatest night of my life. They never cease to amaze me. T
