Those bands that you see the name of and think, nah, I probably wouldn’t like them. That’s how many may treat Manchester Orchestra, but don’t do yourself the same injustice. This group from the Deep South, Atlanta, are a hit in the indie and alternative rock scenes. They’ve been around for over ten years and […]

In light of a new album, Torres has shared “Cowboy Guilt.” Torres is the moniker of Mackenzie Scott—a singer-songwriter who has toured extensively. “Cowboy Guilt” is an exemplarily produced rock-pop track. Everything sounds crisp and mixed to a clinical degree. Torres stretches the sounds out to provide a sonically intriguing track. Pulsing bass and percussive […]

April has been good to me. It has given me more music than I know what to do with. So…I’ll put my favorite ones here. 🙂 Let’s get into it! Tori Kelly’s “Unbreakable Smile” That’s right, TK! Anything my favorite does…I have to write about it! This new track is EXACTLY why I support Tori. […]

When listening to this E.P. the following stream of words kept popping into my head; French-synth-pop-lucid-dream. If these adjectives sound interesting to you in anyway then you will definitely want to keep reading. Christine and The Queens is the musical pseudonym for the Nantes born singer-songwriter Héloïse Letissier. Although she has been releasing material in her native country […]

The Ting Tings brought their Super Critical Tour to Houston on April 21st, just three years and a day after their last Houston show (fun fact!) in support of their latest album Super Critical. For anyone who doesn’t know The Ting Tings, were you even alive during 2008? Where were you the year when “That’s Not My Name” became […]

After his EP “Take Me To Church” conquered the airwaves, Hozier became a household name. The musician from Wicklow County in Ireland has been in demand everywhere.

This week’s Fave Cover Friday is from one of my favorite YouTubers, Travis Garland, whose man-bun is almost as angelic as his vocals. Recently, he covered “Earned It” by The Weeknd, and I knew that I had to share this. If you’ve turned on any TV or radio for the past couple of months, I’m sure […]

We’ve been holding on, patiently waiting for new music from Alabama Shakes for three years and finally the new album is here to shake things up! Their debut album Boys & Girls won them Grammys such as Best New Artist, which if you haven’t listened to it, please do yourself a favor and jam it on […]

Southern California will be missing a gem for a little while because Night Riots are on tour with the Mowgli’s! This group has been performing together for several years, traveling the country sharing their talent. Consisting of five musicians that met in a tiny town on the west coast, Night Riots’ rich pop sound is […]

Since 2011, girl group L.A. Witch have been earning a name for themselves in the rock world. The trio—who hail from, well, Los Angeles—is comprised of Sade Sanchez, Irita Pai and Ellie English, providing vocals and guitar, bass and organ, and drums respectively. The group self-describes as “reverb-soaked punked-out rock,” and they are not wrong. […]

This summer there will be a once-in-a-lifetime co-headlining tour with these two bands who have been around for over two decades–Incubus opened for Deftones’ tour back in 2000, a very long time ago. Deftones and Incubus may be a distant nostalgia for some, but many would be excited to see them live anyways. Especially together! Even […]

The setting was Downtown Houston, a place full of commotion, chaos, and concrete. The perfect ambiance for the daring production, “A Simple Rebirth,” that welcomed their first show night on Thursday with an open heart.

Millennials far and wide, let me introduce you (formally) to Bis. The Glasgow, Scotland indie-pop trio that was active from 1994-2003 and has reformed in 2009 to the present. What’s their deal? Why should we “have a moment…” for them? I’ll tell you why… Long-story-short, it’s a theory of mine that people seem to be […]

IT’S HERE! “Cherry Bomb,” with a total of 13 songs, was released late Sunday night, or early Monday morning for us in Texas, and boy is it different from Tyler’s previous albums.

You know those songs that make you cringe so hard you wish you could go back in time and make the wise decision to NOT listen..? That’s how this song made everyone feel when it was uploaded back in 2012. If your face looked like this when you first heard “Hot Problems,” you’re not alone. […]
