*Warning: This article contains minor spoilers for the new film Morbius. Read at your own discretion.* When I first watched Morbius, I was pleasantly surprised. I won’t get into all of my Morbius opinions because this isn’t a film review. However, I will say that one of my favorite parts of the film was its’ […]
Evolving from the early 1900’s Dadaists’ art zines, to the science-fiction ”fanzine” of the 1930’s, into the “little magazine” (as it was known during the Beat generation of the 50’s and 60’s), these small-batch, independent publications finally formed the modern-day “zine.” So what is the zine? A sort of subversive literary act, the zine finds […]
British singer-songwriter Holly Humberstone, while she looks forward to a performance at Coachella and her upcoming tour with Olivia Rodrigo, performed at House of Blues this past week. The BRIT Rising Star recipient opened to a packed house, swathed in moody red lights, switching between guitar and piano during her set. The crowd loved her […]

Vietnamese-American and Houstonian Casey Luong or keshi (with a lowercase k) is a self-taught music producer, singer-songwriter and musician whose music contains an interesting mix of R&B, pop, and indie lo-fi influences. He was raised in Sugarland and later went on to graduate from the University of Texas at Austin with a degree in nursing. […]
A few weeks ago was the annual music festival, South By South West (SXSW), in Austin, Texas. Austin is sometimes known as the live music capital of the world, but Austin has also changed a lot in the past few years. A lot of people think that the changes happening to the city have also […]
Classical music is a strange genre. Whenever you go to a normal concert, you do it to watch a performance. You want your favorite artist to thrive on that stage playing your favorite songs. You want the communal euphoria of being with other fans as you sweat and scream in ecstasy. Classical music is not […]
Announced March 21st during a guest appearance on The Late Late Show with James Corden, Lizzo is heading back to the radio with a new single titled About Damn Time. The University of Houston singer first blasted into fame with her hit record “Truth Hurts” peaking at No. 1 on the Billboard Top 100 in […]
Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, Austin’s premiere festival was held virtually last year. 2022 was the first year back, and Austin made sure to take advantage. So many people were out and about, pedicabs took over the downtown areas – the city was so lively and it felt great. This year’s artist lineup was so […]
It’s really difficult to describe how remarkable, weird, and eccentric the early era of indie electronic music was and very few groups were able to explore the musical imagination in that facility than Woo. Woo was a British duo formed by brothers Mark and Clive Ives in 1975 with the name of the band inspired […]
The house was packed from the onset. Filled to the brim, the energy in House of Blues was chill but excited as the first of three acts took the stage. Hailing from Detroit, MI, Boldy James captivated the crowd in a way seldom seen from an opening act. Rapping through a full 45 minute set, […]
**Due to COVID Protocols, Mitski’s management team did not allow photographers to enter the photo pit, which is why this review is not accompanied by photos. Mitski kicked off her sold out world tour in Asheville, NC and made her way to Houston this past week on February 18th. For the first half of the […]
I think about how much punk rock has influenced my taste and personality growing up (shout out to eyeliner and Hot Topic choker necklaces in 8th grade). It’s not a question why so many teenagers become invested in this genre when punk has a reputation for its rebellious, “resist-the-system” attitude. Throughout high school, I became […]
With much anticipation, British artist Dua Lipa and the Future Nostalgia tour will be making a stop in our city. From her start on YouTube at 14 and becoming a model at 16 to the women she is now — a three-time Grammy award winning and critically acclaimed singer/songwriter — it is apparent that no […]
A few weeks ago, critically acclaimed artist, Mitski, released her sixth studio album, Laurel Hell. As a big Mitski fan, I’ll admit, when the singles for the album came out, I was a little skeptical of the new album. The songs weren’t bad. They were just different and not exactly her best work. However, after […]
Ah, Australia. The Land Down Under. That place you think of when discussing varieties of deadly animals. Not necessarily, however, among the first countries that comes to mind when you think of rock music. But perhaps it should be. You may not recall, but the great country-that’s-also-a-continent has had some big names in the industry […]
Yep, you read that right – alt-J and Portugal. The Man are touring together this spring! Alt-J and Portugal. The Man have provided indie kids everywhere some of the best bops to date… and we’re so excited to finally see it live. First on the bill is alt-J, an eccentric indie rock band hailing from […]
GTS Presents: Winter Wonder Rock kicked off on Sunday, January 16th at three in the afternoon and went until nearly Midnight. The poster going around social media listed 25 bands on the ticket that would be sharing the time between the upstairs and downstairs stages of White Oak Music Hall. To start off I will […]
A little over 10 years ago, Mayday Parade released their self-titled album. As their anniversary tour kicks off, I revisited their discography and ranked them from best to worst. 1. Mayday Parade (2011) After going through all of their albums again, I keep going back to their self-titled. Mayday Parade continues to be their strongest […]
In general, I’ve been leaning towards music that’s more laid-back or easy to listen to. As I’ve been settling into the semester and building a routine, I haven’t been listening to music to pump myself up. Instead, I’ve been listening to music just to accompany me in the background while I do my silly little […]
