Marielou's June Playlist

What's better than turning up your music when you take a break from revising? Only a few things in my book, and that is why these are my favourite songs this month. The styles differ and one is even a sad song, but every single one of them sounds like heaven when turned up as loud as possible.

- Falling Too - Tyler Joseph
- We Don't Believe What's On TV (Acoustic) - Twenty One Pilots
- Can't Remember - 5 Seconds Of Summer
- Missing You - All Time Low
- Fuck Machine - Mindless Self Indulgence
- English Kids In America - Lower Than Atlantis
- Destroya - My Chemical Romance

Any songs you think I should check out? Comment and let me know!

MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE - TEENAGERS (REACT: Lyric Breakdown)

By Marielou Obdeijn

You heard it right, you can now also see teens react to some My Chemical Romance lyrics on the new react channel. The channel, under the broadcasting of the fine bros, is known for it’s react video’s in which they let teens, elders, kids and youtubers react to all sorts of stuff, including the series they call ‘lyrics breakdown’.
In these videos a bunch of teens are asked to give their opinion on song lyrics without being told the name of the song or the artist.

Guitar Hero Live, the game where most music and game lovers have been looking forward to is becoming more and more real. I am lucky to be able to count myself to the group of people who have enjoyed playing the old game, and knowing that the new game will feature songs from some of my favorite bands is like a dream coming true.

Twenty One Pilots' "Blurryface" Leaked

The moral debate of leaked music
by Marielou Obdeijn
by tuckerstosicartwork
We all could see it coming after "Lane Boy" leaked - the entire "Blurryface" album is now out on the internet. Nine days until the release date seemed to be too much of a wait for the person behind this, so on Saturday, May 10, the skeleton clique was split into two parts; the ones who listened to the leak and the ones who didn’t.
At the same time as the leak, the mysterious Twitter account @blurryface deleted all its tweets and changed its icon and header to a full black picture. However, this only happened after the account tweeted ‘NOWYOUCANFI ND IT. GOFIND IT’ in the usual manner of this account's tweets.
Whether it's a crazed fan, a genius marketing idea, or a rebellious act against the music industry, nobody knows exactly what is going on right now with the band.

New Video: Sleeping With Sirens' "The Strays"

By Marielou Obdeijn

Sleeping With Sirens 
The music video for Sleeping With Sirens' song "The Strays" has recently been released. The song is taken from the band’s fifth album "Madness" that came out March 17, 2015, from Epitaph Records.
In the video, lead singer Kellin Quinn leads a bunch of teens, who represent the strays Quinn sings about in the song. This song has always been one of my favorites of the album, hell, it’s one of my favorites of their whole discography. It has an unique sound to it, slow for the band whose main genre is post-hardcore, and soft, although it builds to a rock ballad at the end.

Leaked Twenty One Pilots Song: "Lane Boy"

By Marielou Obdeijn

Josh & Tyler
A Twenty One Pilots song - set to be on their unreleased album "Blurryface" - called "Lane Boy" was leaked earlier today.
The song sounds, again, different than anything we’ve heard from the band before, and definitely creates confusion about the new album. With the songs, the blurryface character and twitter, and now a blog posting lyrics from "Lane Boy" and possible new songs, all the Twenty One Pilots fans are asking themselves what the heck is up with this band. All we know for sure now is that the discussion around the band will keep the fans and bystanders on the edge of their seat until we know more.

A full song review of this song will come when the band have officially released the song. For now, some accounts/blogs you should check if you want to know more about what’s going on are Blurryfacetheories, ivegottwofaces, the Twenty One Pilots twitter(s), instagram and the tags on tumblr.

Website Review: The Infinite Jukebox

We all have those songs we can listen to on repeat forever without getting bored of them, but don't you feel sad hearing the end of the song? Luckily, there is a website to remedy this.

New Song: "Stressed Out" by Twenty One Pilots

A quick run through
By Marielou Obdeijn

After keeping their fans on edge for a couple of days, mainly due to an anonymous twitter account posting pictures and clips that have to do with new music, Twenty One Pilots have released a third song from their upcoming album "Blurryface". The album is suppose to be out May 19, and will feature a total of 14 tracks, the previously released Fairly Local, Tear In My Heart and now a song called Stressed Out.

In the video clip for this song we can see singer Tyler Joseph and drummer Josh Dun riding around their hometown on tricycles At first it is only Tyler, but after picking Josh up at his house they ride around together. Particular for this video is that they have filmed inside the houses where both band members grew up. The first shot of them being inside is filmed inside Josh’s house, and the second shot inside the bedroom Tyler used to share with his brother.

New Song: Panic! At The Disco's "Hallelujah"

Why this song marks the start of a new era for Panic!
By Marielou Obdeijn


Brendon Urie
After much anticipation, Panic! At The Disco have released a new song called "Hallelujah" on April 20. This song, the first to be released in an era when lead singer Brendon Urie is the last original member of the band, has a completely new sound to it. In the past we’ve seen songs strongly influenced by the likes of The Beatles, Queen, The Smiths, and Fall Out Boy, but this song has stronger musical ties to the song he wrote with Travie McCoy last year and more emphasized pop flair than the band's previous work. Not that anyone is surprised; Panic! is known to change their sound with every new album.

New Release: Live Video For "Another You" by Of Mice & Men

By Marielou Obdeijn



Of Mice & Men released an official live video Wednesday for their song "Another You". The song, originally from the album "Restoring Force",  was reissued for the album "Restoring Force: Full Circle" which released Feb. 24. The video was shot during the Hunting Party Tour, on which they opened for Linkin Park and Rise Against.


"Another You" has been a fan favorite for a while now, and while a scripted concept video would certainly be fit for a song like this, I have to say I personally prefer seeing a live video. It gives you kind of the same feeling you would get if you were actually there, and I think it also is a great way for fans who don’t have the money to see them live to feel included.
You can see the band act like they would if you actually were at a show, but with the pros of always seeing the band and the ability to understand every lyric, and it may even prepare you for the day you actually get to go see them.

I love this song, but what did you think of it? Let me know!

Song Review: Beartooth's In Between

And why this song means so much to me
By Marielou Obdeijn



Beartooth released a new video for their song “In Between" April 7. In the video we see the band playing on a mountain while they sing, “Up on the mountain, I see down below”. Fitting, right?
This music video also features the lead singer Caleb Shomo passionately yelling out his lyrics inside a dirty cottage, looking tortured by his own mind, on what I suppose is the same mountain as where the rest of the shoot is done. Doesn’t sound like much? Well, there is a lot of symbolism in what goes down behind those walls.

"Tear In My Heart": New Twenty One Pilots Song

By Marielou Obdeijn



Twenty One Pilots' new song came out only an hour ago and their fans are already going crazy, and for a good reason.
The song, called "Tear In My Heart", is different than the songs we have previously heard from them. For one thing, Tyler Joseph, the singer, seems to have written openly about love for the first time. Besides that, there is no rapping, only normal vocals, which also defines the sound of this new and unexpected song.
I would highly recommend watching the video clip or listening to the song, and check in later for a more in-depth discussion.

You can buy the song here.

For now, what did you think of the song? Do you like it? Or do you prefer the band's old sound?

Pierce The Veil and Sleeping With Sirens World Tour

My thoughts on the best night of my life By Marielou Obdeijn


My first hardcore concert was “ Pierce The Veil + Sleeping With Sirens World Tour ” on Mar.20, 2015. To be there after having admired both bands for over a year seemed surreal. To finally see, or better meet them in real life was like a dream coming true, and it certainly felt like that.
Pierce The Veil @ Trix, Antwerp


I had been lucky enough to get my hands on some VIP tickets, which included a meet and greet with both bands. They were really nice, and seemed to enjoy the gifts my friend and I had bought them earlier that day. We got to hug the band members and even got the opportunity to talk to them and learned that Jaime, bassist for Pierce The Veil, had the nickname ‘unicorn’ in high school.
And then came the show itself. They were amazing, to say the least. If you have never been to a hardcore/metalcore concert you might think it would be too loud, and you'll leave with a headache, right? I know that's what I thought before that night.
