Five Songs I’m Obsessed With [7/20 -7/26]
Female-Fronted Friday: Little Evil
When: Founded January 2023
Where: Iowa
Genre: Hard rock
FFO: The Pretenders, No Doubt, Garbage
Little Evil consists of vocalist Nico Merschman, bassist Alexxx Bentzinger, guitarist Bryer Meierotto, and drummer Tim Wardlow. This dynamic quartet classifies themselves as “hard rock” or “river rock,” but they do not limit themselves to those labels. Listening to them, you will find yourself moved by a ballad, pumped by a punk-tinged anthem, swaying to a bluesy track with a haunting atmosphere, or headbanging to a raw rock song!
You can listen to their latest single, “Graveyard Kisses,” along with a few other releases, down below. Make sure you check out their socials for upcoming live shows, music news, and much more!
“Graveyard Kisses”
“Little Devil”
“Riverview”
“Fortify”
Five Songs I’m Obsessed With [4/13 – 4/19]
Female-Fronted Friday: Hooked Like Helen
When: Formed in 2016, writing music for TV and movies. Began focusing on touring in 2023.
Where: Northeast Ohio
Genre: Alt-rock/Sad glam
FFO: Evanescence, Tori Amos, Jewel, Lacuna Coil
At its core, Hooked Like Helen is made up of husband-and-wife Nikki and Jon Stipp. The band explores topics such as mental health, unresolved trauma, and addiction recovery in their music, fostering a safe space for healing for both themselves and their fan base. They have provided music for films and TV, and they have opened for such artists as Scott Stapp, Jewel, and Hinder.
Hooked Like Helen’s latest single, “I Don’t Mind,” deals with the subject of unrecognized and therefore unprocessed trauma. Check it out below, along with a few of my other favorite HLH tracks! And be sure to follow/subscribe to their various socials for tour dates, new music announcements, and much more!
“I Don’t Mind”
“Promise Me You’ll Run”

You can stream their music and learn more about Devil Electric by following their socials. Head over to their Bandcamp to order exclusive Tahlia bundles!
