When it comes down to it, was 2020 really a good year for anything? The most positive spin you could put on the year is that it gave some people more time to work on projects that meant something to them while the rest of their lives were on hold.
Music, like many creative pursuits, continued seemingly unabated through 2020. That certainly was the case in Lancaster County as musicians poured their hearts out into a variety of different albums and songs. Perhaps the worst aspect of a list like this is the stark reminder that many of these artists havenât yet been able to perform these songs in front of an audience. Live music â that is, where your eyes can meet the performersâ and you can breathe the same air, and itâs not on a laptop or smart phone â is deeply missed.

It’s that time of the year again when all you hear being played in stores and malls are Christmas songs (ok, Mariah Carey) on repeat.
The classics will be classics, but sometimes, you get so sick and tired of the same old songs that you don’t want them as the soundtrack for your own Christmas activities, and crave something a little different.
Well, good news is, seems like there’s a Christmas album for every kind of music lover on Spotify, to spice up any kind of festive home gathering. Whatever your musical preferences, we can kinda guess what kind of person you are.
Scotty Sire Signs With Indie Rock Label Fearless Records, Drops Christmas Track
Vlog Squad member
Fearless Records.
Vine and now counts 10 million collective social followers, has garnered over 135 million

Twenty-six-year-old Fearless Records currently reps the likes of
Pierce the Veil,
Toxicity favorite and, as a bit of a twist, they ve utilized clean singing, too.
Despite being branded with the metalcore label, the clean vocal element is one that is far from a constant in the band s catalog, and it proves that there s much more to the genre that just the trade off of harsh and clean vocals. But, on this cover, that dynamic is very much in play and is executed perfectly. After years of playing Chop Suey! over the PA system right before we took the stage at our shows, we decided to take a crack at the song ourselves, said lead guitarist JD Brubaker. This is truly one of the most legendary rock/metal songs of all time and it was so much fun to cover. I m especially proud of our singer, Jake, and our bassist, Dustin. We haven t done much clean singing in our music and this song showcases our vocalists in a whole new way.
