Music Monday: Bear Puns


Happy Music Monday! Let’s talk about a band called Bear Puns.

My friend Alexis introduced me to this band (she also introduced me to Lorde, check her out!), and they are pretty fly. Bear Puns is a fairly new band, so I don’t know much about them, and there is not much on the interwebs about them yet, but I do know their music is a bit indie and a bit quirky, and what’s not to love about that?

The band consists of a singing/songwriting duo, and they have released one digital album entitled A Blank Portrait. Their album is available here on their bandcamp website, as well as on their Facebook page, so pop on over to both sites and give it a listen. My favorites are “All in a Row,” “California is Waiting,” and “Hey Girl,” but mostly “Hey Girl.” They also just started a YouTube channel, so you should check that out as well.

P.S. Their Facebook page only has a bit over 1,000 likes, so if you’re like super hip and into knowing about bands before they make it big, you should go like them.

Have a great week and thanks for reading :)

Music Monday: Lorde

Happy Monday to all! My apologizes for a lack of a Music Monday last week, but this week's artist is pretty darn good. Today I would like to talk about Lorde.

Lorde (her real name is Ella Yelich-O'Connor) is a 16-year-old singer/songwriter from New Zealand. She made her musical debut in late 2012, so she has not been around too long. Due to her novice status, she has only released one EP so far, titled The Love Club. Despite being fairly new in the music game, her single "Royals" debuted as #1 on the Australian charts. Rock on, sister. Rock on.

My friend Alexis introduced me to Lorde last week, and let me tell you I am so glad she did. Lorde is only 16-years-old, but she is incredibly talented. It blows my mind. She sounds like the super talented love child of Adele, Ellie Goulding, and Florence Welch. Oh, and did I mention that she writes all of her own songs? Here are a few songs by her, so give them a listen and enjoy!

Thanks for reading and have a rockin' week :)
