“Goon” is just a great word — great for hockey, great for rap, great for playground insults. There’s so much meaning crammed into that one syllable. You don’t want to be a goon, but at the same time, you kind of really want to be a goon. John Dwyer knows. Later this summer, John Dwyer’s […]

The 1975 announced a bunch of North American shows yesterday, but they’re currently on tour in Europe. Specifically, they’re in Ireland, where they played Musgrave Park last night.
