Grunge had run […]
The genre RnB maybe holding on by a thread but 19-year-old Houstonian Kyndall may be the one to sew it back up. This past weekend, Kyndall had a listening party for her EP: “Still Down.” A project where she opens up about the infidelity and struggles from her past relationship with her first love. I […]
Opening in a frenzy of strumming guitars and prominent snares, Mumford and Sons recently released a track title, “The Wolf”, which was released on April 9.

Last week, I made the 2000’s playlist that brought back the teen angst we all probably went through in high school but if you were anything like me that wasn’t the only phase you went through. My music taste from 8th grade until I graduated changed A LOT and now I’m just a mixture of […]

Later albums reduced the noise and experimented […]

A psychedelic rock band that’s toyed with genres as diverse as trip hop and industrial rock, Primal Scream’s sound can best be described as a love letter […]
