 I will be honest, I tried to stay away from seeing the same acts multiple times while at SXSW. I failed twice. Once, when I saw Francobollo a second time, but I was there for an interview. The second time was this day, and I have no problem saying that I came to this show […]

If you know me, you know my disdain for StubHub. I will admit, there is probably no logic reason for me to hold such ill-will towards the ticketing giant, but alas, I never said I was perfectly logical. With that said, when I saw the line-up StubHub had set up for their second night at […]

It is not unheard for bands to gain and release members throughout their musical run, but it is almost unheard of for a band to reach up to 15 members, let alone borrowing members from more than five bands at once. Broken Social Scene is exactly what their name implies, it is a group of […]

After three years of regularly listening to Leon Bridges‘ debut album Coming Home, I was beyond excited to finally catch him in concert. The Fort Worth native’s velvety vocals and 60’s soul feel will have any music fiend singing along to his tracks. Going into the concert, I was interested to see if Leon Bridges would be […]

  After the madness at the Mohawk, I made my way to Latitude 30 for the British Music Embassy’s showcase. On this night, I was able to catch three very different groups, all of them very adept at churning out their respective sounds. I may have not been aware of any of these groups prior […]

  South by Southwest started it’s annual music festival with official showcases on Monday. Of the shows I was aware of, I was most excited to go to the Mohawk in Austin and catch acts like Shamir, who I have been a fan of since 2015 when I first saw him at Fun Fun Fun […]

After the bereaved cancellation of her set at last year’s Free Press Summer Fest, (Rest in Peace) Lorde made a long-awaited stop in Houston to promote her newest album Melodrama. What suddenly became one of my favorite performances I have personally witnessed, started off promising yet notably strange. Opening for Lorde were two extremely contrasting artists: […]

If you have never heard of Nnamdi Ogbonnaya, you’re not alone, but you’ve definitely been left in the dark. The Chicago-bred multi-instrumentalist is one of the most exciting budding artists that I have heard in years, and that’s saying something if you understand how hard it is for new music to catch my ear. “let […]

Coverage by Waylon O’Day and Parnia Razi   Noname  As fans trickled in on another beautiful day for the second day of BUKU, Noname’s voice filled the air as she began performing at the Power Plant main stage. She came onstage and before she even began her presence and energy shifted the audience’s as well, […]

Jay Electronica, a producer and rapper from New Orleans, has been a part of the rap scene for years but has gained attention in the last few years after being signed to Jay-Z’s record label. From his early humble days of MySpace and mixtapes, he has come a long way without forgetting these important beginnings […]

Isaiah Rashad is one of the rare artists who can straddle the line between introspective rap and mainstream rap. His voice can sink into a deep jazz sample, but he can also hold his own on top of an 808-laden beat. For proof, here is how he describes the process of making his first project, […]

Have you ever wondered what Tame Impala would sound like if Kevin Parker continued in the musical direction of Innerspeaker? I like to think that the Chicago-based Post Animal is the answer to that question. The five piece hasn’t been around for that long, yet they sound so experienced and tight that it’s hard to believe […]

Venues have to put up warning signs when this band comes into town. It’s best if you bring a poncho to their shows, if you don’t want to get messy. If you like your hearing, you might as well walk in with a pair of earplugs. Fresh out of high school, Starcrawler is one of […]

Imagine a longboard cruising down a cement boardwalk. To your left is an expanse of sand. Off the pace is the ocean, refracting the rays of the sun. It’s beginning to set. You’ve got your sunglasses on, but you can still see that the sky is a mix of rich oranges, yellows and pinks. The […]

Prior to this album, I had only known the name “Nipsey Hussle” as a West Coast hustler; someone who was well respected in the game yet didn’t draw a lot of attention outside the worlds of hip-hop enthusiasts and artists within the industry. After his release of the politically charged “FDT feat. YG,” Hussle subsequently […]

http://gty.im/687937984 The amazingly smooth R&B duo from the UK, Snakehips, have been a sensation in the soul music community. These production gurus have given us some of the most relaxing, melodic grooves we have heard yet. Their music incorporates a variety of low-key melodies mixed with the perfect hip-hop breakbeats and lyrics. Being known for their contemporary […]
