Dressed in retro garments that reflect their sound, The Static Shift are an embodiment of their love of…
As told by a pessimist and an optimist.
For thousands of years, mankind has stared up into the heavens and seen the stars. Now the dream of reaching them has never been closer. To say that we should halt our operations here, when we have so much more potential, would be preposterous. The space program has achieved things that we had never seen…

First semester is done, and you’re free! Or… maybe not quite yet.
Hello again people who like to read about my student breakdowns! I hope January has been treating you guys well. Me, on the other hand, I’ve been (you’ve guessed it) quite stressed. I don’t know about anyone else, but for me, IT’S EXAM SEASON RIGHT NOW AND I AM ON THE VERGE OF A MELTDOWN.…

(#teaftw) Disclaimer: please don’t judge me, I’m…
It’s horrifying that this issue, happening now, is getting little to no attention. Spread awareness.
Our lives are constantly buzzing with action. Our days are filled with social interactions and hectic environments, the world around us being loud and impatient. There are so many things to do and so many places to be that sometimes we end up forgetting that we also need to rest. Press pause on the commotion…

Honest is the best way I can describe 19 year old musician Joe Russell-Brown. Hailing from a small industrial town located in the UK, Joe doesn’t let the confines of his ordinary town squash his aspirations as so many suburban communities do, but rather uses it as inspiration for a collection of songs that emanate…
