The country queen has returned to her home-state and received a warm welcome from over 62,000 fans. This was Miranda’s fourth time performing at the Houston Rodeo, “I’m still really freaking nervous y’all,” said Lambert, who made her Rodeo debut back in 2008. Since then, Miranda has been named female vocalist of the year at the ACM’s […]
Whether it was Rachel Platten‘s sweet, bluesy cover of “Thinking Out Loud,” Paradise Fears breaking out with spoken word in the middle of their set, or Alex and Sierra‘s endearing on-stage dialogue and anecdotes (including an adorable Simon Cowell impression), The Good Guys and a Girl tour showed the House of Blues a great time last […]
Ah, the season of tests and midterms is upon us. While I FINALLY finished taking tests for just about every single class I have last week, I know that many students still have upcoming tests to ace, and if you’re a fortunate student that doesn’t have any upcoming tests, I’m sure this post can prove […]
Jeff Rosenstock has his roots set in ska and punk rock music, once singer and guitarist for Bomb the Music Industry!, a band that formed in 2004 and disbanded (heh, see what I did there?) just last year. Fortunately, the band’s bright melodic approach to punk is mostly gone by the time Rosenstock released this […]
“From the beginning we’ve always been trying to write pop music.” -Corin Roddick The Canadian electric duo composing of Corin Roddick and Megan James, otherwise known by their band name “Purity Ring,” finally released their new album to the United States this past Tuesday. Their last album from 2010, Fineshrine, received lots of praise for its […]
Hunter Hayes rocked the Houston Rodeo stage for the second year in a row. Wednesday’s performance was also Armed Forces appreciation day which was perfect considering how big of a supporter Hunter is. On his Tattoo (Your Name) tour last year, Hunter teamed up with the USO where fans were able to keep the light […]
My original title was Remixes You Don’t Know From Songs You Haven’t Heard Of, but all those capitals made my head ache and who am I to say you have not heard of any of these? Regardless, here are some mixes that made songs (which aren’t sub par by any means, but preferences are kind of a […]
Hailing from Boston, indie rock and grunge-punk band Pile, is the band other bands have dreams of. They have a shout out in Krill’s 2014 EP Steve Hears Pile In Malden And Bursts Into Tears. If any of the members of Pile were at a bar with other musicians, they would get so many […]
Formed in 2007, San Diego natives Pierce the Veil are seasoned veterans in the music industry, and their experience was prevalent in the detail that clearly went into the design of the show. The band is currently co-headlining a world tour with Sleeping With Sirens, and openers PVRIS and Mallory Knox, that recently passed through […]
If you have not seen an episode of Fox’s hit new show “Empire” yet, it is time to take time out of your busy day for it. The rise of this musical drama has been fascinating to watch over the last few weeks, and things just keep getting better for the show. You must be wondering why I […]
Brother and sister combos have proved to be successful music ventures in the past and recent history. Families have been producing music for as long as music has existed. The Jackson 5 are only one example of musical success, more recently there has also been Echosmith. Another addition to the family vibe is the band […]
Iggy Azalea sat in the director’s chair while filming the music video of her new single, “Trouble,” which was released this Friday. The only way I can characterize the video is to call it three minutes of a modern-day, feminized old western meets Prison Break, seen through the lens of the 70’s. It comes complete with tattooed […]
I was thoroughly impressed by the show put on by August Burns Red at the House of Blues. Between their stage presence, their incredible lighting setup, and the way they treated their fans, I was blown away. They even stopped in the middle of the show to give away cupcakes to fans in the first […]

This week’s Fave Cover Friday is “Dear No One” by Tori Kelly. For those unfamiliar with Tori Kelly, a good description of her would be: sunshine manifested into an actual person. Tori began posting YouTube covers at the age of 14. Since then, she is now a signed artist with many original songs of her […]
In what was a night full of exuberant dancing and exciting sing-a-longs, Meghan Trainor did nonetheless than put on a sparkling performance at her sold out show in Houston’s House of Blues. Promoting glittering self confidence to her fans, harmonizing as well as any R&B singer, and of course flaunting her amazing dance moves in her […]
Oh yes… Yeezy won’t stop, can’t ever stop! Kanye sets the fire ablaze, figuratively and literally, once he performs his new song “All Day” at the BRIT Awards and you better believe it had everyone in the audience screaming from Taylor Swift to his own wife Kim Kardashian West who introduced helped Kanye to the stage. I […]
The Texas music scene is an interesting market. Over the years, band after band has struggled to attract a hefty local fan base before branching out, and even well established artists struggle to sell concert tickets in the fourth largest city in America. Hailing from Beaumont, Dear You is one of our own and they […]

She has been called “The Lady Gaga of Japan,” she has been name-dropped by and hung out with Katy Perry, Sam Smith, Ariana Grande, and Linkin Park, and set the internet A BLAZE with her innovative and eye-popping music video imagery. Yet, there is something that sets her apart from the stereotype of typical “kawaii” […]
