If there is one thing that makes me feel like an actress and singer while walking down the streets of the University of Rhode Island and chilling in my dorm room, it’s “SIX” the musical. The musical is about the six wives of King Henry VIII telling the audience how each queen became his wife….

Growing up in a family of four kids and a restless golden retriever, my parents were constantly finding ways to keep us entertained. We traveled a lot, particularly on the road to go camping or on the long trek to our cottage in Northern Ontario. This carved out a long period of driving time, which…

The Editorial Staff1 year ago1 year ago05 mins

Lauren Drapeau – Editor-in-Chief: With the commencement of autumn, tumultuous adjustment periods and a smidge of post-summer heartache, I’m proud to announce: INDIE ROCK IS SO BACK! I’d like to honorably mention “At Home” by Slow Pulp. As somebody who desperately tries to avoid any reminder that winter is approaching, I listen to this song…

When you think of the movie “Road House,” the 1989 film would come to mind for most people; in 2024, however, Amazon Prime released their own version with Jake Gyllenhaal as the lead.

‘A Little Life’: not-so-little book review

Lauren Drapeau2 years ago04 mins

Back in the summer of 2023, I had a lot of free time on my hands and found myself alone at home for the majority of the season. I worked a serving job that seldom picked up in business, and therefore my eyes found themselves scanning the pages of books for hours on end. I…

Writer’s Ranking: Top 10 songs for spring’s open-windowed car rides

Ryan Pelillo2 years ago04 mins

Spring is upon us. Despite Mother Nature only giving New England a taste of warm weather over spring break, the spring season means we will soon get that subtle transition from in-car heating to rolling the windows down.

The Editorial Staff2 years ago2 years ago07 mins

Lauren Drapeau – Editor-in-Chief This month I went on a trip to New Hampshire with some friends of mine during spring break and rediscovered a personal favorite: “Bobby Boucher” by EARTHGANG, Spillage Village and Benji.
