    Desolation Fantasy by Sarchasm

    Jul 11, 2015

    “‘Desolation Fantasy’ was one of Sofi’s big contributions to ‘Help, I Need an Adult!,’ and in her words, was her Streetlight Manifesto-inspired “anti-faking-depression-for-attention song.” Attention is something that everyone needs, she explains, and going to such drastic measures for what’ll probably be some really negative attention won’t help anyone, especially you. ‘I’m not saying that it’s not okay to be…

    painting and poem by Alyssa Anne Icaro . We once dreamed of a fairy tale Once thought that love is fair At some point we proved it was Until someone finally broke us . At first it was perfect Thinking it was an answered prayer But then things went wrong . And you don’t know how to go on We…

    Alyssa Krause: Art Beyond High School

    May 20, 2015

    We’ve been hearing the saying “follow your dreams” since we were kids. What did that mean to you then? Becoming a firefighter, astronaut, or actress? As we grew up, these simple ideas of our future became a reality. It’s necessary to choose a career that we are good at, we like, and we get paid for. Many of us are…

    Supersize Me by Sarchasm

    Mar 5, 2015

    “With the music written primarily by Isabel and the lyrics a set of Alex’s finest; Alex chose to tackle his frustration at the slacky, pretentious kids who sat around him in class and bragged about blowing off homework to play sports and videogames. Alex’s lyrics are wry, snarky, and full of clever wordplay as he channels equal parts Elvis Costello…

    In the Glow of Ashes by Spare Parts for Broken Hearts

    Feb 21, 2015

It’s about experiencing the vulnerability of another human being and fighting the urge to give everything to them just because they showed it to you.     Spare Parts for Broken Hearts is a girl-fronted instrument alternating…

    The Composer by Ashley Myers

    Feb 18, 2015

    This piece is an art assignment given by my teacher, where we had to come up with a way to incorporate alphabet letters into the drawing. My mom and I brainstormed and together came up with an idea that was a little more outside the box: to draw music notes with letters hidden in them, coming out of an instrument…

    Apathy by Sarchasm

    Jan 10, 2015

    “‘Apathy’ is one of our staple live songs, our ‘punk’ hit, and one of the most fun songs to play in our set. It’s also one of our oldest songs; it was the first song we figured out as a band for the album Help, I Need an Adult!, and it was part of our live repertoire as far back…
