Editor’s note: this review was written by Bryan Dupont Grey in cooperation with The Daily Cougar. During his up-and-coming rise to fame, Mac Miller had often been viewed as a Pittsburgh rapper whose mixtape and commercial material stayed centered around money, weed and women. It was charming at first, but after a while, the recycled […]

FPH has just announced a make up show at the House of Blues that will feature all members, and […]

While opening for The Walkmen in Seattle, Father John Misty front-man J. Tillman informed the crowd of their headliner’s arrival. “Just a little bit longer my beautiful babies and then The Walkmen are gonna come up here and crush you with gentlemanliness.” Hearing this, I couldn’t help but think of Houston’s newest rock band – The Caldwell. […]

Moths are some local boys who make a very unique product. When listening to Moths, one may be reminded of such mathcore originators as Botch or The Dillinger Escape Plan. While their latest self-titled release is at least 30 years after the founding of Botch, Moths seem to pick up the mantle pretty well with it’s frequently […]

For musicians, it’s an inevitable reality that at some point, you’re going to whore yourself out on social media, and that’s totally understandable. But it’s always great when a band can build a following solely through word of mouth and praise for the music. Such was the case with CR favorite Pure X and their […]

P.O.S. has released a new video for “Weird Friends” from their album We Don’t Even Live Here, and it’s every bit as chaotic (and, well, weird) as you’d expect. The visuals and lyrical content are a nice alternative to the usual stuff you’d find in more mainstream hip hop. We Don’t Even Live Here is out […]
