Today is Friday, which, in case you didn’t know, is code word for amazing. The weekend is hours away and a lot of us are dancing in our seats, excited to take a brief break from work or school. Naturally, I had hopes of finding a song that mirrored my optimistic and overly excited attitude. […]

With the success of indie bands at The Grammys a couple of weeks ago, it only seems right that a song from an indie group is featured as song of the day. The Format hails from Arizona and are a mix of alternative, indie and punk. In true “hipster” fashion, they chose their name to make […]

True Grit Review
