Music Corner
January was a huge month in the world of alternative and rock music, with tons of new singles, albums, and tours scheduled from widely-loved bands.
The start of the year has been a hit for My Chemical Romance, who sold out three UK stadium dates within mere minutes of each one going on sale. The New Jersey based rock band, who reunited on Halloween in 2019 after a six year hiatus, has been selling out massive worldwide venues left and right. Their most recent announcement has them touring in twelve US cities, most notably selling out four nights at the Forum in Los Angeles. Similarly, The Strokes are creating their long-awaited first album since 2013’s “Comedown Machine,” with highly anticipated dates scheduled in LA, Seattle, and Vancouver. They kicked off this exciting new era by playing at a Bernie Sanders rally in New Hampshire on Feb. 10. Both of the bands have huge, dedicated fan bases and their returns have been extremely positively received.
New music has been flooding in throughout the past month. Up and coming alternative rock group Courier Club released “We All Want To Be There” on Jan. 31, which is the band’s fifth single since forming. Their second single, “Liza”, racked up over 300,000 streams on Spotify, showing the rapidly growing interest that listeners have in the band in such a short amount of time.
2020 is shaping up to be a great year for music, and it can only get better from here.
