Many of the biggest musicians of the past 200 years have sung and played other people's tunes. They've also written for other artists. In praise of the songwriters, and those who bring their creations to singing, dancing life, here are 10 hits that were passed up by other artists. |
We’ve got the perfect playlist, one that doesn’t flatline after the first two songs. We call it We Are: The Guard Weekly Charts. And unlike most things in life, this is one thing that is always on point and will never let you down. |

SXSW 2018 continues to be at full swing with non stop action and surprises along the way. Nope, things did not slow down for us on Thursday. |

The time has come yet again where we here at We Are The Guard strap on our trekking shoes and stretchy pants (yes, we know, it’s quite the outfit), and fly over to Austin, Texas for a week long music binge.

From monthly subscriptions to things that will keep you warm, here is our list. Sounds good? Okay! Heart emoji. |
We typically think that everyone who’s famous found success quite easy -- which is far from the truth. Here are ten musicians who worked normal jobs before they made it big. |
Coachella regularly books some of the coolest acts you and I and your friend Rick who knows EVERYTHING about music have never heard of. And these artists are in a font so small it barely registers with your eyeballs. Thus, we present our Best of the “Small Print” Coachella Artists playing Sunday! |
The lineup dropped, the festival sold out, now it’s just up to you to make the rest of the weekend magical. What about some of that small print stuff? You know, the one you actually have to put your glasses on to read like at the DMV? What’s a Jason Bentley? Exactly. Let’s check it out. |
To further push your taste knobs in the right direction we’ve collaborated with some of our favorite music influencers (blogs we love, key music managers, favorite PR people, etc) to bring you 12 indie artists who will pwn 2018. Listen below and discover new talent to add to your Spotify playlist. |
