“Hell is right around the corner, but heaven is here with you.” Jessica Morale sings on her June 5th release of ‘Everything But You;’ an earthy, ethereal, topsy-turvy, appetent record that captures the essence of finding solace and love in the midst of emotional unrest and a rejection of the tumultuous and passionate eye of the human experience. This song, heralded by something darker than ourselves, symbolizes that while life may be full of challenges and difficulties, there are also moments of joy, peace, and happiness that can be found in the here and now. It serves as a reminder to cherish the here and now and hold onto hope tightly, even when everything else seems to be fortoken in affliction; unraveling in confusion of a six-hundred, threescore and six, sick scheme of an American dystopian nightmare. Lost souls sacrificing their sanity at the altar of the darker never-world.

I discovered Durocs a few years ago.

On March 27, 2019, I created Generation Clash. When I started running GenClash, it was about the artists that I discovered that I wanted to share with people. All of the artists were artists that none of my friends were talking about and it seemed like an interesting idea to be the one who shares these bands and artists with other people since there are so many artists that weren't promoted and this is why we don't know about them.

We only ask you to do one thing. All we ask you to do is listen.

There was a time when I would listen to Love/Hate everyday. Whether it was Wasted In America or Let's Rumble or Blackout In The Red Room, one of those three albums was playing while I was studying for college.

I've chosen to cut my ties with someone who I use to consider a friend. I met this friend a few years ago and I learned a lot about the music industry because of her. This was before I even created Generation Clash. After reading her articles, I was inspired to start my own media outlet to write about the artists that I loved.

I discovered Star Star a few years ago while I was going through a box of my dad's promo flats. I loved the cover art of "The Love Drag Years" and I had it displayed in my room before I ever listened to the album. The reason it took me so long to listen to it was because the album wasn't available on Spotify and I wasn't able to figure out where my dad's CD copy of it was. Eventually, I did find the CD and burned it to my BlackBerry so I could listen to it. When I listened to it, I loved it.

I discovered The Bus Boys on one of my dad's cassette tapes.
