CONCERT REVIEW: MEN I TRUST
I first got introduced to Men I Trust in about 2017 through social media. I liked how they were Canadian and just an intimate group who truly embodies their craft. I really got hooked on Men I Trust after their sophomore album dropped. It was the perfection of true indie music. When I found out they were on tour in the Fall 2023 I was excited to see how they would be live. With Men I Trust you never truly know which direction they will go.

CONCERT REVIEW: THE 1975
I first got introduced to The 1975 in 2013 by my sister. I wasn’t initially sold on them since their first single ‘Chocolate’ was Pop and dismissed them. Due to my sister’s obsession with The 1975 she explained in great detail the lyrics and instrumentals. After some time I grew to love the band and respect their range as artists. I went to their tour and this is my review.
