A supergroup is a band made up of musicians who were already famous or well-known from other bands before they came together. These artists usually have their own fanbases and bring a ton of experience and talent to the new project.

OK, who wants some tea? Recently, I’ve been pining over someone. However, I’ve yet to make a move because I’m not sure if I’m ready for a relationship. I’m fine with the whole intimacy part, but the looming “this can end at any moment” thing doesn’t sound fun. So naturally, I made a playlist of […]
Making way for bluebonnets to bloom, Houston’s famous rodeo season ends as springtime begins. As the cowboy boots go back in many Houstonians closets, the Texas pride remains present.

Born Nemah Hasan, Palestinian-Canadian pop rock singer Nemahsis recently went viral for singing Lorde’s “Team” a capella over photos and videos of her country, beautifully capturing her people and her land’s strength and resistance.

The old records that your parents keep hold more secrets than you think. The roots […]

There’s a running joke in my friend group that I listen to the same two artists every day: Radiohead and Taylor Swift. Despite this accurate assessment (insert an eye roll here), I think I have a fairly decent taste in music. Here are six songs I haven’t been able to stop listening to since fall […]
Many of us had an “emo” phase in middle school. Whether we told our parents “it’s not just a phase” or not, I never really grew out of the music. As I’ve been into pop punk and “emo” music again recently, I’ve compiled my all-time favorite songs of the scene. Additionally, with the When We […]
