Sit back and relax, Lapalux has released his second LP and it’s definitely a mind-opening experience! The 25-year-old solo act from Essex, UK is known for his textured music and ability to manipulate in an unorthodox manner that many can’t help but be drawn into. Lapalux, which is short for “Lap of Luxury”, has been […]
Rapper A$AP Rocky had an exclusive conversation with Red Bull Music academy on Wednesday and at the end of the conversation, he premiered a brand new track called “M’$”. The song first appeared as a snippet at the end of the video for his most recent single “Lord Pretty Flacko Jodye 2.” It has now been released in CDQ […]
The Jesus and Mary Chain began as a partnership between brothers Jim and William Reid. Inspired by Sex Pistols, The Velvet Underground, The Stooges, The Beach Boys, The Shangri-Las and Phil Spector, their first album Psychocandy combines simplistic song structures with jarring noise and feedback to create an unmistakable sound. Later albums reduced the noise and experimented […]
Primal Scream harks back to a more innocent era when rock stars had long, shaggy hair, organs were cool and tambourines were a staple of any respectable rock band. 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 […]
Amy Winehouse entered back into media headlines with the release of a trailer from a brand new documentary over her successful, yet tragically short, life. Considered one of the greatest women in music, as well as being called the “pre-eminent vocal talent of her generation,” Amy Winehouse changed the music game. With an amazingly soulful […]

Asunder, Sweet and Other Distress, the newest album from seminal Canadian post-rock outfit Godspeed You! Black Emperor, is the first material to be released since their hotly anticipated 2012 album Alleluah! Don’t Bend! Ascend! which arrived after a nearly 8 year hiatus. Godspeed has been touring sparingly since the release of that album honing the material for Asunder. As with any […]
It’s been approximately 15 days since spring break has ended and yes, I’ve been keeping count. Some of us have gone straight from spring bliss to exams and the separation anxiety from spring break is at an all time high. Being attached to a desk and a computer for an extended amount of time makes […]
Austin Psych Fest is coming up and there are so many bands playing. As we try to fill you in on what you might get to see, keep in mind that we are giving away tickets, so be on the look out! Another addition to the music explosion that is Austin, Texas, will be Fuzz! […]
The money, the cars, the clothes, and the h**es, have all become typical topics in this game that we call rap. Don’t get us wrong, we love this music! But dropping five hundred stacks on a Tuesday at the strip club… A little too rich for our blood. Sometimes, we long to hear something more […]
Great Good Fine Ok? More like incredible, extraordinary, amazing, and mind-blowing! Light up tambourines, disco lights inside of drum sets, awesome stage outfits/dance moves and a smooth falsetto that leaves everyone in the room speechless. Sounds great already right? I had the pleasure of seeing Great Good Fine Ok when they opened up for Magic Man on […]
Adventure, aptly named, feels like a human journey. “La Lune” addresses the melancholic proposition of aging, featuring vocalist Dan Smith from the band Bastille. “OK” is an anthem to happiness with no labels or cause- simply the feeling. “Pay No Mind” featuring Passion Pit, an addictive banger, encourages independence and love. From beginning to end, Adventure […]
Considering 2 weeks ago yesterday I saw that lovely gorgeous man in person, I thought it would be only fitting that I make him my Man Crush Monday! I was never a big country fan before, although some tried to persuade me, however, I can honestly say that I have been listening to him literally […]
In the modern age, women still have trouble being respected and equalized in various professions and cultural importance across the board. However, I feel in music women are the front runners and ground-breakers leading the way for the zeitgeist and trends of each decade. This is even more potent when they stand together and use […]
SO, I’m sure y’all are all sick of hearing of Kendrick Lamar… Right? Right? NAAAHHHH probably not though! I’m more than sure you have seen or at least heard of this crpytic tweet that Kendrick put out on March 24: Whoaaa, right? Kendrick telling us his location AND telling us to meet him there? There’s […]
Decades in the 1900’s all had a theme but now we live in a decade that is bringing back trends from here and there; the recycling age. Music nowadays is very difficult to categorize into genres and even old music trends are resurfacing. Bands such as Tame Impala are bringing back and even enhancing the […]
Ah yes, the 2000’s in music. A lot will argue that 2005 was the best year for music. I mean the Billboard Top 100 from that year shows us some of the most memorable songs including Kanye’s “Gold Digger”, Mario’s “Let Me Love You”, 50 Cent’s “Candy Shop”, The Killers’ “Mr Brightside”, Jesse McCartney’s “Beautiful […]
Do you want to listen to a band who has a really awesome psychedelic rock sound and the lead singer’s voice is scarily similar to John Lennon’s? If so, Tame Impala is the band for you! I first heard about them from Tyler, the Creator’s song “Bimmer” so out of curiosity I gave them a […]
Refresher course on Marina: She’s that talented singer that sang those chart-topping hits “Prima Donna” and “How to be a Heartbreaker” that were so popular a few years back. You’ll be pleased to know she’s still continuing to write her own songs! She has an interesting sound to her voice that’s mesmerizing to hear. If ever […]
I am a HUGE fan of this! You may have heard a few of Ed Sheeran’s other songs: “Give me Love,” “I see Fire” or “Thinking Out Loud.” His soulful voice is enough to melt even the… What’s hard to melt? Diamonds? His voice melts diamonds. (Be mine!) Last week, YouTube had its second-ever music […]
