Featured in Billie Eilish‘s In My Room playlist on Apple music, rapper $NOT is on the rise and the music industry is taking notice. The first track to gain traction was his song “Gosha” with 2.5 million views on YouTube, but he really acquired a fan base on SoundCloud, where he has 6.4 million plays. […]
Crossover tracks with pop and Latin artists started long before Justin Bieber did it, but mainstream America did not know how powerful collaborations could be until “Despacito” took over, not only the nation, but the world. The snowball actually began 19 years ago when the Latin Grammys debuted, creating a prestigious award show dedicated to […]
On this day, March 28th, the drummer for Genesis, known as Phil Collins, toured the U.S. for the first time as the lead singer for the band. On this day, March 28th, he left the band with 20 years under his belt. And on this day we honor his contribution to the band that made […]
The SXSW festivities were in full effect when I sat down with Australian singer-songwriter Jarryd James for an interview. For some artists, it takes an entire career to make it to the top of the country’s music charts; however, for James, that success came a bit quicker in his home country of Australia. Peaking at […]
Dig up those boots from your closet, find that plaid shirt you only wear a few times a year, and bring out that Texas twang that comes out around the month of March because it’s rodeo season ya’ll! With Cardi B taking the stage tonight, there are still 16 more concerts to go, meaning there […]
His music is rooted in the classic genres of Mexican music such as bolero, but Rafael Meza, also known as Pehuenche, is adding a modern new flare to older styles.

Detaching herself from the corporate side of music, Amanda Palmer has been able to showcase her talent on the crowdfunding platform Patreon and so far…it’s working.
Seattle may be the birthplace of hipster loving Starbucks, but this rainy city was once ground zero for several breakout grunge bands from the late 80s that exploded into the mainstream rock scene in the early 90s. The “rain city renaissance” was a wave of underground bands that were catapulted into the spotlight where even […]
Songs can be easily deciphered to some and difficult to understand for others, but despite their true meaning, songs can have the ability to represent something different to everyone. Ask anyone about the meaning of a track and they will share their opinion of what it may mean or how it came to be a […]
Beto O’Rourke | Photo by Taylor Marron Crowded with old and new registered voters alike for the Beto O’Rourke voter registration rally, the White Oak Music Hall lawn was about to have an indescribable energy fill the air. By the end of the rally the air was electric. Hundreds attended the rally to not only […]
It has been five years since you gave up your passion for someone you thought was permanent; then ended up stuck behind a desk counting the seconds until the clock strikes 5 pm…just to question everything again tomorrow. R&B artist Corey H was in this thought process five years ago until he looked out the […]
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 […]
Little Dark Age is a cohesive blend of experimental synth-pop and psychedelia that has displayed MGMT’s evolving sound impeccably. Their work has elevated since their debut album Oracular Spectacular and yet, the record ironically has the continuity of a 70s/80s influence throughout the album. Nearly the entire album consists of synthesized upbeat indie pop […]
For a man that has created his own genre known as “Gorestep”, Borgore has created a brand that has not only sparked controversy but has been able to mold that controversy into being identified as the “Bad Boy of EDM”. Asaf Borger, also known by his stage name, Borgore, is an Israeli DJ/producer that […]
Over a decade later and still selling out venues. Chevelle may have made less than a handful of radio hits but their music has spoken to thousands. It was a new experience to go to a concert that began at 6:30 PM but with the amount of music that each band had to offer, it […]
