After many delays and frenzied anticipation, renowned musician Björk finally took to the stage in her motherland of Reykjavík, Iceland, in a glorious return to performing as part of the “Björk Orkestral” shows.

GTS Presents Rocktoberfest kicked off hard and fast with Houston alt-rock Trio Sub Penguin. The power trio kicked off the show at 4:00PM with the high-voltage energy you would expect from a band covering tunes from Nirvana.

Houston’s largest music festival is back again for another year. Like every other festival, Astroworld took a hiatus last year, but Travis Scott and his brand of high-energy rap music seem to be on track for another banger in 2021.

ACL Day 2 starts with me arriving at 12:30, determined to see some of Frances Forever‘s act before heading to the press lounge to write. I made it for the very end of their set, so I got to watch them perform from a distance. Frances Forever’s name was displayed in a 1970’s-inspired font on […]
Ah, yes. Leaves are falling, temperatures are dropping (sort of), horror and thriller films are on T.V. It must be fall! This means it’s time to break out the flannels and combat boots, hang up the spiderwebs, and come up with a costume for that big Halloween party. For me, it’s my favorite time of […]
The first day of ACL was my first time going at all, so I took longer than anticipated parking/getting in/etc. However, when I walked in around 2:30 I was pleasantly surprised by the low hum of energy already coursing through the park. I walked past the Honda stage where jxdn was welcoming a girl from […]

Chvrches (pronounced CHUR-CHES) is Glasgow’s very own synth-pop and electronic trio that consists of members Lauren Mayberry, Iain Cook and Martin Doherty. The band formed in 2011, and […]
You might have seen or heard the slogan “Ici c’est Paris “ somewhere on TV. Well, the famous slogan simply means “This is Paris,“ which derives from the famous French Football club Paris St. Germain. Today’s article, however, will not be discussing French Football but rather French music, specifically: hip hop. In the American world, […]

In the early 2010’s, the hip hop community saw a handful of rappers and producers that would go on to greatly influence the next decade of rap. Arguably the most important among them, despite not being nearly the most popular, was SpaceGhostPurrp. Working as both rapper and producer, Purrp was able to craft his own […]
ACL is returning this year, as big and bold as ever. Weekend 2 of Austin City Limits is guaranteed to be a great festival weekend.

After four long years since her last album, Lorde’s highly-anticipated Solar Power was released. The album follows Melodrama, an album that many including myself would consider a masterpiece. The album, unfortunately, does not quite live up to the anticipation. Solar Power is a very different album than its predecessor. Melodrama was, in some ways, a […]

However, […]
