When I arrive at Boston Calling for Day 3, it's already started drizzling. I put up my hood, zip up my jacket, and make my way from the Harvard Square T stop to the final day of Boston Calling 2018. It's cold, it's wet, and my body is tired from 2 days of festival-ing, but it's the kind of tired that gives you energy and keeps you going back for more. It's the kind of tired that tells you it's been an unforgettable weekend. As I'm entering the gates of…

Hey! I'm Nathan Daniel and I'm 19 (not Daniels. I know, I'm a weirdo and I have a first name for a last name). As far as Infectious goes, I'm a bit of a rare breed: I'm the only contributor from the UK. Due to which, part of this may be less familiar for a lot of you Americans! I come from Nottingham (Robin Hood country), but currently live in the Cathedral City, Lincoln, where I study Media Production at university (or college, for you guys). I'm in my second year…

For the past 12 years, the 41-year-old New Zealander has been regarded as Radio 1's new music ambassador and has been resident of the 7-9pm Monday-Thursday slot. If for nothing else, he is known nationwide in the UK for his adrenaline-fuelled enthusiasm and downright passion for music.

The Grammys. Every news source gets one post about them and here is ours (sarcasm included). I could bore you with the splendor of music's greatest night but the simple truth is, it wasn't. The once proud Grammys are following in the footsteps of award shows past and slowly becoming meaningless and quite frankly boring. Please follow and like us:

Performing is one of the most adrenalin-filled and self-validating things you can do. Before you start, however, it can be absolutely nerve wracking. I started rapping at 16 and it was the energy and enthusiasm that got me through each small show. Now, at 18, I'm being asked to perform for music labels, radio stations and talent scouts (one of whom discovered Coldplay) so my label management and I have come up with a few tips that have helped me make the transition.
