“Legends Never Die,'' is a phrase the young late rapper Jarad Higgins also known as Juice WRLD, used to say. In his short time in the music industry, the rapper focused his music on overcoming old habits, loss, and heartbreak. The themes of most of his music related to his battles with heartbreak, addiction, and mental health problems. Juice WRLD was raised in Chicago, Illinois, and he began his musical journey during his high school years. 

The San Francisco-based garage rock, surf punk, and indie group, The Band Ice Cream, releases their post-pandemic, 10-song collection “Play Dead.”

“Play Dead” is expected to be a continuation of their alternative/indie, garage pop style music. The band’s frontrunner, Kevin Fielding, a London, Ontario native, sings and screams with his chest.  It reminds me of the loud and profound vocals found in folk emo: which includes bands like Mom Jeans and Modern Football. Though, I wouldn’t go so far as to designate the band to that category.
