Gracie Abrams 'The Secret of Us' review.
As an Avid Swiftie and a lover of heartbreaking writing, I was super excited to see Gracie's Abrams release another album.

All that being said Abrams seems to be lined up to be our next ‘it girl’, but does her ability really line up to all this fame?

Meet Deadbeat Daycare A Dynamic Band Based In Chicago
Picture this. You’re in high school sitting at the lunch table with your best friend and contemplating what a great idea playing music together would be. So, you start the band and realize that you need a drummer and a name. You find the drummer. You decide on a name that is unlike any other. You start writing music in one member’s garage and realize that you need a bass player to round things out. You find a seasoned bass player who is a fit, and suddenly it all makes sense. That’s the story. I am just the messenger. That’s Deadbeat Daycare’s story and they’re not only sticking to it, but they’re ready to rock your world as they start to ramp up their live shows, hitting as many local venues as they can this summer. Most recently, they performed at the notable Brudder's Bar and Burlington Bar in Chicago. The band is ready to kick it into high gear since they are all now finished with college.
