Opening a bill at Asbury Lanes is no small task, but Her Side of the Bed did it just right for the Starsighted Super Jam. Their set was packed with enough energy and charm to immediately pull the room in. Starting with a cover of “Billie Toppy” by Men I Trust and an unreleased song, […]
There’s truly nothing like the energy that comes with a Heart Attack Man show. It’s the kind where you know that as soon as the band starts, it’s gonna be loud, messy, and maybe even a little violent (pit warriors stand up). On April 2nd at White Eagle Hall in Jersey City, that expectation was […]
For Hunter of Chase Petra, playing festivals like Warped Tour used to be a dream she’d have to ask a lot of questions about. Mainly: who else is on the bill, and are they friends? As it turns out, the answer to both is yes. Chase Petra joins Honey Revenge, Winona Fighter, South Arcade, and […]
The last two summers, Honey Revenge was but one of the mere names on a lineup still finding its footing. A year later, they’re headlining it. Devin Papadol, frontwoman of the pop-rock outfit, sat down with WMSC ahead of the group’s return to the Summer School Tour where they’ll be joined by Chase Petra, Winona […]

For so many people packed into the Brooklyn Paramount on March 4th, The Wonder Years’ No Close to Heaven is one of those albums. To celebrate the record’s 10th anniversary, the band performed the album front to back, before setting off […]

Walking into Xfinity Mobile Arena on February 24th was energy like I’ve never felt there before. Having not known if I was even going to the show 24 hours earlier, to being upgraded to pit tickets when I got there, I knew I was in for a total experience. The glowing lightsticks and the buzzing […]
Photography and Review by Ash Schnoor There’s a certain point where a lot of shows I attend start to blur together a bit, but the Waterparks show in Columbus, Ohio, definitely was not one of them. However, the blur of gas stations, highway lines, and playlists looped definitely did (but you can read more about […]
Photography & Review by Ash Schnoor If you told me a year ago that I would’ve driven over 8 hours one way to see a silly little band I didn’t even know about a year prior to that, I would have NEVER believed you. Waterparks was the reason my friends and I were so close […]
Photography & Review by Ash Schnoor Singer-songwriter Lyn Lapid brought an emotional, captivating energy to the stage of Irving Plaza in New York City. Her incredible lyricism and alt-pop melodies had the entire crowd captivated by her presence the moment she set foot on stage. The show felt extremely personal, almost as if it was […]

Photos by Ash Schnoor, Review by Genevieve Cai On February 5th, 2025, The Backfires, the self-described indie rock band from both sides of the Atlantic, took on Bowery Ballroom in NYC with support from Southern California four-piece Foxtide. This show landed at the halfway point for the East Coast leg of the band’s first headlining […]
Review by Ash Schnoor – Imagine this: you buy 60-dollar nosebleed tickets five months before a concert. Two months before one of the headliners releases her album that changes the trajectory of pop culture. This was my setup for the “SWEAT” tour – headlined by none other than THE Charli XCX and Troye Sivan. […]
