James Bay, a 22-year-old singer-songwriter from Hitchin, UK, released his debut EP, The Dark of the Morning, in the summer that can be downloaded here for free. He recently performed “When We Were on Fire,” a track off of the EP for The Mahogany Sessions.

Big Mello was one of biggest names to ever churn out widely-accepted album releases during the late 90’s, and while he did spit some heavy Southside flows, “The Gift”—arguably his best foot forward—proved that Curtis Donnell Davis also had a slice of R&B groove in him. Fast forward to today’s generation and we see that […]

We’re giving away 2 pairs of tickets to the Light & Ladder show tonight at Walters. All you have to do is tune in to The Traveling Show from 1-3pm today when Samantha will have the band in the studio to find out how you can win a pair of tickets!

Check out the music video for Swedish electro-pop duo Karl X Johan‘s “Flames,” which won a Swedish Grammy for best music video a while back. I’m kind of obsessed and mesmerized by the whole thing so much so that I can’t convey how I feel except for that it is eye candy. So if you’re craving […]

Yes. Carolina Liar. I know. Let’s turn back time and revisit our girly high school days and think about how we appreciated and enjoyed this album for a moment. I remember back when it was released in 2008, I would listen to this album on repeat and foolishly (and oddly) let my soul-sista flag fly, […]

Coming home to a bag full of fame can either be a joyful bliss or a ghastly nightmare and it could have very well been both for Odd Future Wolf Gang’s top lyricist Earl Sweatshirt, who returned to state grounds after having been sent away to the Samoan Islands for therapy and soul searching. About […]

Colin Frangicetto of Circa Survive released his debut album, My Brother’s Ears/My Sister’s Eyes, under the moniker Psychic Babble, his solo project, on Bandcamp a couple of years ago. Better act quick though cause tonight is your last chance to download the album for free on his Bandcamp page.  

I never even really liked The Scene Aesthetic to begin with, but here we are, and here this is…like the only song I kind of liked by them…I blame this newfound insomnia. Enjoy a little trip down memory lane from a Smartpunk session a while back. P.S. Do people even visit Smartpunk anymore?? Let me […]

A Day to Remember is coming back to town for its House Party Tour with Pierce the Veil, All Time Low, and The Wonder Years on October 20. If you’re feeling nostalgic and want to relive your middle and/or high school days, you can get tickets to the Houston show here!  

Oh hey Mac Demarco. Remember when he released “Young Blood”? Yours Truly does. YT recently asked Mac to play it during their most recent shoot together. Hit the play button to enjoy the tune and then hit the link to learn how the session came about.

Eleven years ago, memorably curly-topped contestant Justin Guarini made it to the finale of the first season “American Idol.” Though he placed second, his future still seemed bright; at the time, it wasn’t hard to imagine that he’d go on to have as successful a career as his worthy opponent, winner Kelly Clarkson. But that was […]

If there’s a band I can forgive, it’s Weezer. For long-term fans like me, Weezer is seen as one of those bands that made it cool to be nerdy, or at the very least made it not as unbearable as adoloescence can make it seem. However, the later years of the band can be seen […]

In 2007, Skeletonwitch seared themselves into the minds of metal heads everywhere with their Prosthetic Records debut, Beyond the Permafrost.  That album set the template for high energy darkness and evil in the American metal scene.  Even Glenn Danzig was impressed as he personally requested them to be his opening act on the 2008 Blackest […]

Though I don’t necessarily have a favorite band per say, I typically go through phases where I listen to a few bands nonstop for a period of time, and in the past six months, I’ve had Daughter on repeat. Check out the buzzsession they did for The Wild Honey Pie a while ago, and for […]

The Marshmellows, a local funky mellow indie-pop band, is to release its debut EP, July, next week. In the mean time, listen to all six tracks off the EP on its SoundCloud page. Keep an eye out for these guys, we will.

Looking for something to pass the time on the Internet? I got yo back. A few days ago Portugal. The Man released its official music video for “Modern Jesus,” which is off the Evil Friends album that was released back in May. Check it out and let us know what you think in the comments.

Can I just… I love everything about this video that Sombear (Brad Hale of Now, Now) recently released for his song “Incredibly Still” off of the album, Love You In The Dark. I’ll spare you from all the feels, and you can just enjoy the video for yourself. You can buy Love You In The Dark here and […]
