ARTIST INTERVIEWMonograms Discuss New 'Silencer' EP

EP REVIEWRubblebucket "If U C My Enemies"

INTERVIEW/EP REVIEWThe Black Black

“Thematically, it’s kind of a break-up song, a song about the replaceable nature of relationships,” the band’s singer/songwriter/guitarist, Jonathan, told us. “Sometimes, you’re replacing the relationship but not the person, and the people blur together.”
