Milow – North and South
Milow’s North and South is filled with happy and mellow melodies, simple yet deep lyrics. It’s really easy to hear, to sing along to, to remember.

My Chemical Romance – Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys
Four years after their critically acclaimed The Black Parade, My Chemical Romance is back with an album that is a delight to listen to. It is the alternative rock you all should be listening to.
