I remember driving through the night, the moon beams gazed upon us. When we made it to the shore, the morning dew seeped into our skin like the warm embrace of a past lover. She turned to me and smiled. “It sounds like sex on the beach,” she whispered in my ear. – FR Whether you’re […]
They are known as the sages of psych-rock, spectral explorers of the subconscious mind… In 2002, they were listed as one of Q Magazine’s “50 Bands To See Before You Die” And they are coming to Houston….. LIVE from White Oak Music Hall, it’s The Flaming Lips! http://gty.im/485443836
Discovering new music is the most gratifying feeling ever. Even if the music I find is a year or two old, it is still refreshingly new to my ears and I’ll annoy my friends to no end playing their songs. Recently I’ve been listening to a lot more experimental and indie bands in my free […]
Say hello to Edward Skinner, better known as photographer and sound selector, 9thSage. Not only does he manage to capture pictures and turn them into visual poetry, but he also knows how to find the right music and take you to an alternate universe of musical paradise where you won’t ever want to leave.
It seems like everyone is either making rap music or electronic these days. Even though i’m a fan of both, sometimes it gets a little boring and the need to find something new makes me borderline crazy. Then along comes Hakeem and I feel saved.
Say hello to the fire eating, fire spitting new hip hop artist Siimba Liives Long. Born in New York, raised in Ethiopia and now residing in Brooklyn, this white cloaked, head scarfed Ethiopian-American rapper has a flow so sick he’s sure to blow up soon.
Photo by: Briana Wade Originally from Memphis, the Mulherin brothers are not only identical twins but also singer/songwriters who produce and write their own music. You might have even heard their remixed version of Drake’s “Come Thru“ playing on campus recently or seen their funny Migos Be Like video on Vine. The duo creates beautiful electro-R&B […]
2016 is here and it’s time to get into some new music. If you like Arctic Monkeys or The Kooks, Cage The Elephant might be for you. Rock music from Kentucky? I’m not kidding. These guys have been producing indie rock for the past decade. They made a name for themselves in England, with their […]
Marrying striking sketches with smooth alternative sounds, Conner Youngblood knows how to stand out from this cowboy country.
Half Ethiopian and half british, Izzy Bizu is a 20-year-old teen with a voice that reminds you of old jazz records and legends such as Amy Winehouse and even Ella Fitzgerald. With all the digital pop and electro music that’s become popular nowadays, Izzy is like a breath of fresh air that brings simplicity and soul […]
Not many people know about Mizan’s music or have even heard of the Ethiopian singer before. Try to google her and you’ll sadly come up short with only a few sources that are actually related to her. Even though Mizan has been writing music since she was a kid, she’s still kinda new to the music […]
Calling all The 1975 deprived fans, here’s a new band to start obsessing over! Pronounced Lay-Nee, this band is probably the most beautiful love child of 80’s pop, 90’s R&B and current alt-elctro pop all put into one (listen to ILYSB and Bad Bad Bad).
Do you love dreamy synthpop music with a flair of R&B and funk that transports you back to the 1970s? Well, look no further.
As mysterious as it sounds, nobody really knows much about the producer, Slow Magic. What we do know is that he makes amazing music that has no lyrics at all, he wears a cool mask, and is gaining a decent following. Having remixed songs by Kodak to Graph and Daktyl, and doing an amazing job […]
Not much can be found when searching more information about this band of two, which is both a good and a bad thing. Good because lucky you, it’s the perfect time to listen to the new artists so when they finally blow up (and they will very soon, trust me) you can claim to have […]
Colorful and sarcastic are a few words that could describe Jordan Gable.
When you think of the Houston rap scene, artists like Bun B, Paul Wall and Slim Thug come to mind. However, it’s 2015 and modern hip-hop has changed the game completely; this is where Roosh Williams comes in. The 26-year-old Houston native released a full-length CD when he was just in 9th grade and never looked back.
If you’re in need of more indie pop goodness in your life today, check out Philadelphia locals CRUISR. Composed of Andy States, Jon Van Dine, Kyle Cook, and Bruno Catrambone, the group has been performing together since the end of 2012. States was very interested in creating pop music that consumes people, and that’s exactly […]
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 […]
Who doesn’t love fun music right? Music in itself is fun no matter what artist, band or genre you are listening to but sometimes you just stumble upon that one band who’s music just makes you happy and you can’t explain why. That was my experience with the wonderful band; Smallpools. Smallpools is a four-piece […]
