Album Review: Chon ‘Homey’

June 19, 2017 Amanda Krause album review, chon, grow, homey, infectious magazine, music0 comment

After the release of their premiere LP Grow in 2015, Chon was labeled every genre in the book. To some they were a simple math rock group, at times ambient. To others, they were more progressive, and even verged on metal. Regardless of preference, every term worked because Chon infused each of these elements into their sound. While some are bound to say Chon’s 2017 release Homey solidified their place in the world of progressive, ambient, math-rock, the truth of the matter is that this summer-influenced LP has actually pushed…

Mental Health Matters: Diabetes

June 19, 2017 Ben Haberland of Onesie diabetes, health, infectious magazine, mental health, mental health matters, onesie0 comment

I’ve been a Type 1 diabetic for 27 years. At age 13, I came out of a near death coma with partial memory loss and a strong desire to master the solo in Metallica’s “One”. Since then I’ve dealt with the many pitfalls that come along with having a chronic condition in the Unites States. It’s affected every single aspect of my life, including being a touring and recording musician. Managing a healthy blood sugar level is a nonstop balancing act. It takes discipline and patience to adapt to changing…

The Most Important Thing I’ve Learned: Use Your Shows To Build Relationships

Our touring experiences have definitely changed our outlook on playing shows. Instead of just focusing on the performance, we have learned to treat the entire night as a networking event. From the time we arrive for load-in until we close the doors of the van to leave, we look for every opportunity to build relationships with everyone at the show. There are a lot of bands who choose to hang out in their vans or hang out backstage before they go on stage, but those bands miss out on a…

I recently attended the 2017 Kohl Fest in Reading Pennsylvania, where I caught headliners We Came As Romans— and after a long day in the hot sun they were the perfect band to end the night. WCAR put on a explosive performance, and I wouldn’t expect anything less from them. Dave Stephens, one of their two vocalist kept the energy up in the room and never stopped moving on stage. At one point during their performance, Kyle Pavone, their second vocalist reached out into the sea of people to grab a Go…

Mental Health Matters: The Monster in My Head

There is a monster in my head. I mean, I think there is a monster in everyone’s head, but I’m most familiar with my own monster. Being an artist and a songwriter has allowed me to become very good friends with that monster. The interesting part about my relationship with my monster is that I would never trade it for anything, because without it I’d never be able to feel the massive extremes that I’ve felt. So, in some ways it kind of feels like you have mental health X-Men…
