Taylor Acorn's Poster Child Is Truly Fearless

*Special guest review, by my oldest - who is a big time Taylor Acorn fan.*

Hi! Today we’re excited to highlight another standout release from last week—Taylor Acorn’s Poster Child! This marks her second album and her first under a record label, Fearless Records. With this new album, she’s delivered a fresh wave of pop punk energy that’s both nostalgic and bold.



I first discovered Taylor through “Final Nail” (featuring Charlotte Sands) from Survival in Motion (Deluxe), and quickly fell in love with tracks like “Applause,” “Hell of a Show,” and “Homebody.” Poster Child builds on that foundation with even more emotional depth and impeccable lyricism.

The album kicks off with a bang. “People Pleaser” and “Crashing Out” are high-energy anthems that make you want to dance, jump, and let loose. “Hangman” is where Taylor’s lyrical brilliance really starts to shine—filled with metaphors about letters, threads, guessing games, and neck pain, it cleverly plays on the childhood game while exploring deeper emotional themes. The title track “Poster Child” finishes the beginning of the album with another exciting song.

The middle of the album starts off with a song that will tug on your heartstrings and bring back memories- “Home Videos”. “Home Videos” is a nostalgic song about wanting to go back to simpler times, and I think we’ve all felt that way once or twice. The music video for this one is also amazing- watching Taylor run around with a version of her younger self  is heartwarming. If you have a few minutes, check it out!

“Cheap Dopamine” slows things down with a chill, guitar-driven vibe that gives the album space to breathe. “Blood On Your Hands” is my personal favorite—packed with clever lyrics and upbeat guitar.  Then “Goodbye, Good Riddance” picks the pace back up, serving as a perfect bridge to the final stretch.

Taylor closes the album with four strong, lyrically rich songs. “Sucker Punch” weaves a metaphor seamlessly throughout, while “Vertigo” plays with lyrical flow in a way that’s almost dizzying—especially in headphones. “Theme Park” is upbeat and relatable, capturing the thrill of falling in love like a rollercoaster ride. Finally, “Masquerade” ends the album on an emotional note, showcasing Taylor’s vocal range and vulnerability.

Poster Child is a powerful blend of emotional lyricism, infectious energy, and standout vocals. The four music videos from the album are beautifully produced and are very impressive. If you’re looking for fresh pop punk with heart, this album is a must-listen.

Shut Up and Rock: Embracing Lead Singer Changes

If I had to pick my favorite bands from high school, the list probably looks something like this: Fuel, Live, Bush, Pearl Jam, and Collective Soul. Of that group, Pearl Jam has had the fewest lineup changes since I started listening — at least until Matt Cameron’s recent departure. Collective Soul has swapped out drummers and lead guitarists since I became a fan. Bush went on hiatus from about 2003 to 2010, with Gavin and Robin being the only returning members, and today Gavin is the lone original member still in the band. Live is its own interesting case: you can catch them touring — and it’s a fun show — but it’s essentially Ed plus touring musicians. Fuel might have the most complicated member timeline on Wikipedia. For a lot of Fuelies, the “original” band was Brett, Carl, Jeff, and Kevin — but there was a version of the band before that, and the Sunburn album was recorded with a session drummer. The 2007 Angels & Devils album featured only Carl and Jeff from that “original” ...
