Last time, The Aspiring Me gave us an exclusive listen his OK, Whatever album before it’s release. Now, the rapper is back at it again with the fire tracks!
I first saw English indie folk trio Daughter live last year at Austin City Limits and, although a gratifying experience, I was left wishing I had seen them in a more intimate/quiet setting. These wishes came true last Wednesday at Numbers Nightclub and where the band performed following the release of their second record Not […]
Words by: Bethany Polson The Monster Energy Outbreak Tour brought their lineup to Houston, Texas this week. The House of Blues was full of scream-emo aficionados who came out on a Monday night to support their love affair.
We’re in the last week of March and this “new year, new me” mantra may not be looking too good right about now. If you have that one class that’s completely stressing you out and nothing’s going the way you planned, thoughts of giving up are bound to occur. Brought to you by my personal […]
Chicago’s very own, Twin Peaks, are coming to Austin for the annual Levitation Festival (formerly the Austin Psych Festival) on April 29th- May 1st at the Carson Creek Ranch just outside of Austin. If you’ve never heard of Twin Peaks, you’re missing out, big time, here’s why.
Discovering new music is the most gratifying feeling ever. Even if the music I find is a year or two old, it is still refreshingly new to my ears and I’ll annoy my friends to no end playing their songs. Recently I’ve been listening to a lot more experimental and indie bands in my free […]

You may remember earlier this month when I wrote a profile on a local up and coming hip-hop artist, Wes Blanco.

Say hello to Edward Skinner, better known as photographer and sound selector, 9thSage.

New Orleans’ very own Royal Teeth put on their Cajun dancing shoes for SXSW’s Friday showcase at Esther’s Follies.
As we look back on a crazy week in Austin, we realize that it is slightly colder than it was last week at Austin’s SXSW. (Maybe a sign to remind us that Spring Break is over and school is, once again, a thing?) However, before doing that let us look back at yet another year of music, […]

Back in 2014, I was scrolling through Pinterest and happened to stumble upon the beautiful harmonies and lyrics of trio sister band, Joseph. I went out on a limb and emailed them to come play an acoustic set at a clothing store I worked for at the time. Much to my surprise, they agreed and […]

On a cloudy Friday afternoon, Brooklyn-based singer and songwriter Kevin Garrett took the Pandora Discovery Den stage to perform a short set of tracks from his musical career. His poignant lyricism and musicianship were showcased throughout the set and he definitely captivated the audience with his smooth falsetto and production. Performing fan favorite tracks from […]
