What Are We Listening To This Week?
Thursday, November 21st, 2013 by WLOY Staff
Kelly Burchard – The Neighbourhood – I Love You
[itunes link=”https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/sweater-weather/id635016635?uo=4″ title=”The Neighborhood – I Love You”]
While their album came out earlier this year, The Neighbourbood’s I Love You is just now making its way into my Top 25 Most Played iTunes playlist. Their motley crew of electric, hip-hop and indie rock sound is something that is hard not to like. All the tracks on I Love You flow into each other so smoothly, and while this isn’t necessarily the album that makes you want to get up and dance, it is definitely worth a listen to, if you haven’t already.

Billy Dries– Night Time, My Time – Sky Ferreira

Sky has been on the public radar for years now, she’s allegedly hooked up with Miley Cyrus, and got busted for drugs, and shed a pop star that didn’t start on Disney Channel!…Whats this? Billy’s pick is a pop album?… Freak yeah it is, this album rocks it out and delivers a sound the likes of which hasn’t been heard in a Pop album since the likes of Michael Jackson, or Madonna.

Review: Glass Animals EP – Glass Animals
Wednesday, November 6th, 2013 by WLOY Staff
Glass Animals EP
Glass Animals
[itunes link=”https://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/glass-animals/id528928008?uo=4″ title=”Glass Animals artist”]
Grade: B+
Harvest Record’s recording artist, released their 4 track self titled EP, “Glass Animals.” The album has a haunting/spacey sound. The indie pop band makes use of synthesizers and artificial sounds to bring each songs to life. Dave Barley’s voice definitely keeps the listener captured and wanting to listen more and more. The album is very innovative and captures the essence of who Glass Animals are and is a great indicator of what’s to come from them in the future.

WLOY Cleans Up San Antonio
Monday, November 4th, 2013 by The Professor
When we got to the National Student Electronic Media Convention in San Antonio, they had all these trophies lying around messing up the place. It seemed a shame to mess up a nice looking city like San Antonio, and since we care about that kind of stuff, we helped make it nice and neat. Taking the trophies back to Baltimore seemed the best plan.
