1. Not That Innocent – U2's Songs of Innocence Going Mainstream

Welcome to Going Mainstream! 

We are two indie rock fans who are trying to branch out of our comfort zone. 

This week, you will get to know us and learn about our musical influences. 

We review U2's top charting album, Songs of Innocence, and we discover that we may both be in love with Bono...? We break down the album song by song and pick a few favourites that we may even add to our playlists. Oh wait... didn't Apple already add this album to our phones in 2014? Maybe that wasn't such a bad idea after all. 

Get ready for some hilarious (and embarrassing) fan stories. Controversy ensues when Steph says Imagine Dragons may be the new Nickelback.

Do you remember Down With Webster? Because we sure do!
