I hadn’t heard of Noah Cyrus until a couple months ago when she popped up on my Spotify Discover playlist. I don’t remember which song it was, but I thought it was fine, nothing special.

The band hit the road to celebrate the anniversary and hit Chicago for two nights at the House Of Blues this week. Our newest contributor Kris Lori was there to capture the evening for us. New Regime kicked off the evening … Continue reading The Used at House Of Blues, Chicago 5/17/2016 (Photos)
