Closing for the Summer

Posted on

KMSC will be closing down for the summer, due to the station being relocated to Flora Frick Hall room 243 and 239. We ask that no physical CDs be sent to the station during the period of May 4th, 2015- August 18th, 2015. Our plan is to be in the new station by the beginning of August, so that we are good to go once school starts back up on August 24th.

If you have any general questions or concerns please email us at kmscdragonradio@gmail.com. If you have any music submission questions or concerns please email us at kmscmusicdirector@gmail.com

Our new heads of staff for the coming school year will be checking the email periodically throughout the summer, so responses may be delayed. Be on the look out for a contact phone number during this period, which will hopefully be posted by the end of next week once we have moved our office into a temporary location for the summer.

We had a great 2014-2015 year and can’t wait to be in a new station continuing KMSC’s legacy this next school year!

1. Majesty Da God – The Apollo EP
Genre: Rap, Hip Hop
RIYL: Jay-Z, Kanye, Kendrick Lamar
Some great rap tracks on this album. My personal favorite would have to be the last song, which uses lyrics from the Britney Spears’ song “Toxic.” Now, I know not all of you are Britney fans, especially my rap guys, but trust me, it’s sick! Has a Kanye West, eerie, church vibe to it.

2. Stone Sour – Meanwhile In Burbank
Genre: Alternative Rock
RIYL: Shinedown, Sick Puppies, Korn, Drowning Pool
This band is a little blast from my past. Anybody else listen to their song “Through Glass” like 10 plus years ago? Who knew they were still making music! And good music, I should add! Has a good hard rock feel to it with the power guitars and edgy vocals.
 
3. Garden City Movement- Modern West
Genre: Electronica
RIYL: Glass Animals, Caribou, Ryan Hemsworth
We got their EP in last year and I was so stoked to see that we got their new album! Every track is catchy and I swear for a minute, I thought I was listening to Glass Animals! Chill, electronic music that puts you in a daze.

4. Pocket Panda- This Arrangement of Molecules
Genre: Indie Folk Rock
RIYL: Snow Patrol, Lumineers, The National
Some good vibes coming from this album! Think of yourself lost in a meadow of tall, gently blowing grass as the sun is beating down on you or going on a road trip through the mountains as it lightly snows, with a good friend. This album is the soundtrack to those experiences! Atleast, those are the images I picture when listening to the album haha.
 
5. Tom West – Oncoming Clouds
Genre: Folk, Singer Songwriter
RIYL: Bon Iver, Iron and Wine, Fleet Foxes, Alt-J
If the Lumineers and Alt-J had a baby together, Tom West would be it! Very similar vocals to Joe Newman of Alt-J, but more of a folky vibe like the Lumineers. Every song gives you the feels. Chilling next to a fireplace on a cold winters day with hot chocolate and your bae is what this album is the soundtrack to. Great homework music as well!
