Review:
This self-titled, 8-track album by campthehills is honestly such an incredible release. The artist has only really surfaced within the past year and has already been putting out so much great music. A lot of newer artists take time to find their sound, but campthehills already feels like they’ve built a real identity and style for themselves. (more…)

Explore Baltimore: Milagro
Friday, April 10th, 2026 by Allison Shulman
This week, we visited Milagro, a Hampden boutique that has been part of the community for 22 years. The shop is a global boutique, carrying goods inspired by pieces all around the world. Milagro focuses on supporting small artist collectives and women creators.
The inspiration behind Milagro came from the owner’s travels, especially places like Mexico and Japan. That influence is reflected throughout the store today. From screen-printed clothing to jewelry, and even the furniture, nearly everything in the shop is made by hand.
We spoke with Nikki, a Loyola alum and key member of the Milagro team, whose energy immediately stood out. She shared that working in Hampden feels especially meaningful to her, since her family has roots in the neighborhood. Being part of the shop allows her to stay connected to that history while also watching how the area has grown over time and become more diverse. (more…)

Reviewed by: Sylvia J. Gredzinski ‘27
Release date: November 7th, 2025
Rating: 9/10
RIYL: Mt. Joy, Hippo Campus, Adam Melchor
Review:
Del Water Gap is the solo music project of artist Samuel Holden Jaffe, who falls in the indie pop genre and is known for his emotional and introspective sound. Jaffe was born in 1993, growing up in rural Connecticut, then moving to New York City to study music production at NYU. This was where he started Del Water Gap, which initially began as a group band, but later evolved into a solo act with Jaffe in the center of it all. His music focuses on themes like love, relationships, and personal growth, saying his music is inspired by “romantic encounters and dimly lit rooms”. Del Water Gap gained attention back in 2020 with his song “Ode to a Conversation Stuck in Your Throat” and has released multiple albums since like Del Water Gap (2021) and I Miss You Already + I Haven’t Left Yet (2023).

Concert Review: Brook and the Bluff 032326
Saturday, April 4th, 2026 by Ellie Walsh
Review by: Marley Lehmann (’28)
The Brook and The Bluff is an indie-rock band that was originally based in Nashville, Tennessee. They are currently touring around the country for their newest album, Werewolf. Thankfully, they stopped close by at the 9:30 Club in Washington, D.C. The venue itself can hold around 1,200 people, and when we entered, it was packed. The show sold out!
We arrived at the venue around 7 pm, and crowds were already forming at the barricades. Everyone was very excited for the concert to begin. The setting was perfect; there was dark lighting with LED’s highlighting the stage, interesting decorations, and posters of bands that have visited or are coming soon. One thing we immediately noticed was a table in the back corner where we were offered a chance to win a vinyl if we could prove that we were registered to vote. This was a very new and intriguing way to combine one’s love for music and position as a member of society. (more…)
