My name is Stephen
Wermuth, and this is
my little section
known as “Steve’s Set
list.”
I am in my fifth and
final semester here at
Bucks. I’m majoring
in Sport
Management, and am
19 years of age.
This is basically
going to be a weekly
write-up about something
newsworthy in
the music world. That
includes album
reviews, one-on-one
artist interviews, concert
recaps and breaking
music news.
To introduce myself
a little better, I will let
you know that these
past five years or so
for me music-wise
have been insane.
While sports may be
my major in school,
music is my oxygen in life. So
far, I’ve seen close to 60 bands
live, and those are the ones I
can remember off the top of
my head.
I’ve seen everybody from
The Marshall Tucker Band to
Iron Maiden. But mostly, I tend
to stick to the Alternative Rock
genre with bands like Weezer,
Paramore, All Time Low, and
Panic! At The Disco.
I’ve also met a few
bands/musicians in my concert
days as well. Taylor York
(Paramore), Rivers Cuomo
(Weezer), and the bands Biffy
Clyro and Cage The Elephant
are just a few samples of the
vast amount of musicians I
have encountered.
There’s just something that
keeps bringing me back.
There’s just a certain “high” I
get from concerts. As a
drug/alcohol-free guy myself,
that feeling from a show is my
kind of addiction. I think that’s
enough with the bragging for
now, I’ll save some of that for
the rest of the semester.
So there you have it; my little
introduction. I hope this turns
out to be as successful as I
envision in my head.
I will be honest and say that
most of my articles will be
about the “rock” genre, leaning
more towards
the “alternative”
side.
Every once in a
while, I plan to
venture outside
of my comfort
zone and dive
into different
genres to try to
at least please
everybody just
once.
I will say that
for the next two
weeks, I already
have my articles
planned
out. Now, I’m
not going to
ruin the surprise,
but one
week involves a
concert from a
former lead
singer of a
Pennsylvania
band, and the
other story will please the
“killjoys” out there.
I’m looking forward to making
my first year as a “journalist”
promising, and I hope you
come along for the ride. It
should be a wild one.
