AUGUSTA REVIEW

Guess who’s back to rave about an awesome, musician named Scott Helman... AGAIN. If you didn’t give him a listen after reading my last article on him, you better do it this time. Helman recently released his new EP titled Augusta. This 7 track EP features 5 new songs and 2 songs from his other EP, Songs For Friends. 

I can list about a thousand reasons for you to listen to Scott Helman’s new EP, but you should listen to it because it’s just incredibly amazing and every other word that is a synonym for amazing.

“I'm letting all of these feelings out even if it means I fail, ‘cause this is what I was meant to do and you can't put that on sale.”

These words, however simple they may seem, exemplify what I think it means to be a true artist. Although creativity can be something to monetarily gain from, it should first and foremost be valued as a communicative outlet. If you agree with me on that and have not yet heard of the band Weezer, I am shaking my head in disapproval and urging you to go listen to them right this instant.
