Summary
In the summer of 2016, up and coming rock group Sour Milk rose to popularity with the release of their second album, Nothin’ Good, and subsequent nationwide tour. The band, which consists of four siblings native to Chicago, Illinois, first gained popularity on the internet, posting videos of them playing popular covers and a few original songs. Reel Records signed them two years ago, and they’ve been on the rise ever since.
We sat down with every member of the band individually, as well as some of their more well known associates from that summer. Thirteen months after one of the most shocking and memorable performances of their careers and the end of the Nothin’ Good tour, they’re ready to share their story.

Summary
"O-kay," Ian says, quickly taking him by the shoulders and trying to steer him away from the center of attention.
"Fucking—" Mickey shrugs off his hands, shaking his head hard in a way that looks more like a violent twitch.
"Mickey, you gotta calm down—"
"You fucking calm down!" he says, shoving Ian away from him.
Ian stumbles, but catches himself easily enough. His brows draw together, his brain trying to swim through the fog of his buzz to piece together the problem.
Because there is a problem.

Summary
The whole thing could have been avoided. It should have been avoided, shouldn’t have even been a possibility in the first place.
The walls shake as the front door slams shut. Mickey’s boots stomp in the hall, the sound fading as he gets farther away from the apartment.
Ian folds his arms over his chest, his face still warm from yelling and his adrenaline spike refusing to recede.
It’s fucking ridiculous.
The whole thing is fucking ridiculous.

Summary
They cruise along downtown, dodging in and out of traffic with the lights on but no sirens. It’s not until they start to get out of the city completely that he even asks where they’re going.
“Medical transport,” she says easily. “Non-emergent.”
Ian bangs his head against the back of the seat. “Great. What nursing home is it this time?”
“It’s a different kind of transport.”
His brows furrow with curiosity, but before he can open his mouth to ask for clarification, he recognizes something. The highway signs and the exit ramp, the ones he’s been on only a few memorable times before.
He watches as the landscape grows more and more familiar, the hairs on the back of his neck standing up.

Summary
Ian’s been back on campus for three days, but the long weekend before classes started clearly wasn’t enough. One day in and he already has two essays to write and a lengthy problem set to solve before Wednesday. Everyone said sophomore year was a bitch—and it was—but junior year just might kill him.
He pushes open the glass doors of the South Campus Library and rolls out his neck, his backpack slung over one very tense shoulder. At least this part isn’t new. Ian knows these hallowed halls—all five of them—better than he knows just about anything.

"It's officially Veterans Day." Parker swiveled in her chair to look at Jack, going mock-solemn as she intoned, "Thank you for your service."
"You're fired," Jack instantly shot back, the damn traitor.
