Feeling the BPM with underscores’ third studio album “U”

By

On a regular Thursday in March, I discovered underscores while scrolling on Tiktok. I worked my way through her discography and eventually fell down a rabbit hole of hyperpop. Her take on electronic and pop music is deeply refreshing and her captivating sound is definitely one to pay attention to.

Track of the Week: “Find Your Way” By The Role Call

By

You may have not heard of the Minnesota based, indie pop band The Role Call yet, but it’s only a matter of time before they’re on your radar. As I waited in the cold outside The Rave in Milwaukee last weekend for a concert, I met the band and listened to a sample of their music. I instantly gravitated toward their fresh alternative pop sound. “Find Your Way” is my pick for track of the week, because it’s a song we all can relate to, and enjoy while doing it.

Northwestern 28, Iowa 17

By

If Iowa fans were looking for a key bounce back win at Northwestern, they are going to be dissapointed with this outcome. The Hawkeyes were defeated by Northwestern at all facets of the game; offense, defense, and special teams. Iowa showed fight at the end of the game coming back from a 28-3 deficit, only to have their comeback fall short on an overthrown James Vandenberg pass that landed out of bounds on 4th down. Lets start with the offensive side of the football. The highly scrutinized passing attack led by Vandenberg was average at best. The senior quarterback played … Continued
