NO SKIP REVIEWS
Welcome to No Skip Reviews, a space where we only talk about the albums, concerts, and artists we genuinely love. This isn’t about critique or tearing anything down. It’s about celebrating the records we play front to back, the live sets that left us buzzing, and the bands that remind us why we fell in love with the scene in the first place. If it’s here, it’s because we couldn’t skip it and we don’t think you should either.

10 Movies to Watch on Halloween If It Was Never a Phase
Halloween is basically the Emo kid Super Bowl. It’s the one time of year when the rest of the world catches up to our normal aesthetic: black eyeliner, tragic love stories, songs about death, and maybe some light grave-digging. So if it really was never a phase, here are ten movies that hit the perfect mix of spooky, sad, stylish, and scene.
Robb’s Recs: The Top 250 greatest Songs of the 21st Century
So last week, Rolling Stone released their list of their top 250 songs of the 21st century, and while the list was offensive and atrocious, it did get me thinking… What ARE the greatest songs? So, I made a list. I even checked it twice like the big guy upstairs taught me!
TAYLOR TAKEOVER: TEN SONGS TO MAKE YOU A SWEMO
Look, I know this might not be everyone’s kind of content, but let’s be real. We can’t escape Taylor Swift. There’s no rock big enough to hide under. Since 2019, she’s dropped the most commercially successful album of the year four times (2019, 2022, 2023, 2024) and there’s a good chance she’ll do it again in 2025. On top of that, the Eras Tour became the highest-grossing concert tour of all time, and even the movie version managed to land as the 11th highest-grossing domestic film of 2023.
In short, Taylor Swift is the music industry.
ROBB’S RECS: October edition
Hi guys. I’m Robb, and I am one of you and I’m here to help. Look, I’m 36 and I have two kids and a general lack of excitement for anything the way I used to. I know most of us have had trouble latching on to new bands this side of the Obama administration, so I’m gonna do the best I can to suggest some bands that I think you will love. Partly to keep the scene alive, partly to stop gen z from clowning on us because I don’t like it!
