When 29-year-old pop singer Jesse McCartney caught his first wave of stardom circa 2004, fangirls followed his every move both in magazines and real life. His bright, green eyes, casually disarrayed bowl cut and sweet love song formula put him solidly in the same generation of teen idols as Aaron Carter and Hilary Duff.

The pull of Netflix star Joe Keery, who plays Steve Harrington in the hit show “Stranger Things,” led many curious students to Memorial Union’s Der Rathskeller to see Keery’s band, Post Animal, perform Saturday night.

As someone anxiously grappling with how to function in America’s defective political climate, a concert at the High Noon Saloon was, oddly enough, exactly where I needed to be last Saturday.

When I arrived solo at the High Noon Saloon on Wednesday night, a midweek slump had the best of my tired mindset. On one hand, I was stoked to see the talented indie rock acts mewithoutYou and Into It. Over It. perform, and on the other, I was nervous that their beautifully poignant music might shred my defenseless heart to ribbons. The night turned out to be a 10/10 experience as mewithoutYou deluged their souls into a heartwarmingly cathartic set.

Sunflower Bean, a Brooklyn trio of psych-rockers, played a short yet punchy show at The Frequency Saturday. Their audience ranged from college-aged to middle-aged, which demonstrated the band’s appeal to a demographic wider than just their young-adult peers. Every aspect of Sunflower Bean’s show, from their sound to their look, represented the modern artists' potential to bypass classification in favor of something more broadly accessible. The overall effect felt timeless.

There’s a special place in my heart for the New York based, indie rock band Real Estate. I equate their music to hazy desert nights and overall content. This appreciation is due in large part to the warm, breezy vibes inherent in their sound, and in small part to my memory of making out with a guy in the front seat of his car while Real Estate’s Atlas (2014) soundtracked the occasion. When I saw Real Estate live for the first time in Madison on Saturday night, Oct. 8, my hopes for a similarly visceral experience fell short.

Few songs represent the early 2000s as well as “The Middle” by Jimmy Eat World. "Hey, don't write yourself off yet," lead-singer Jim Adkins croons. "It's only in your head you feel left out, or looked down on.” Sounds familiar? This song and the album Bleed American helped introduce the burgeoning underground genre Emo to a wider, more mainstream audience. Given that Jimmy Eat World’s main fan demographic during this time was a nation of angsty 15-year-olds, it’s no surprise that Oct. 11, when Jimmy Eat World played the Barrymore Theatre here in Madison for the first time since 2004, their crowd was made up mostly of dudes in their 30s—the now-adults those aforementioned angsty teens grew into.

Australian artist-to-watch Julia Jacklin is a fresh voice in the music industry—so fresh that she has yet to release her first album. That said, when she introduced herself to Madison on Wednesday night at The Frequency, she seemed familiar somehow, as if she were a cool and slightly older neighbor I had seen around, but was only now just getting to know.

Just one year ago, 25-year-old Julia Jacklin was a factory line worker making essential oils in a Sydney suburb. Today, she is an up-and-coming alt-country musician, selling out shows on her first international tour.
