Death Grips
Ever heard “don’t judge a book by its cover”? Well I guess in this case, I should be questioning the phrase, “don’t judge an album by its cover.” And to some degree, sure, I agree. However, cover art plays an essential role on my first impression. If you’re like me, you like to kill time […]
Starting the day off with great weather, it was a perfect day in New Orleans to kick off this year’s BUKU Music & Art Project. People from all around came to the city for the festival, as it sold out over a week before the event. Unique in its diverse lineups and urban, industrial vibes, […]
Death Grips Again? Yes. At this point, I am sure that you may have come across posts that compare the two most conflicting bands there ever could be. The pop-infused trio Kero Kero Bonito has a way of writing awfully catchy songs that ironically remind me of Death Grips’ hyperaggressive hooks. Wait, who? If you […]
The experimental trio’s newest project does not skip over the usual angry, paranoia filled subject matter except this time implements a twist of psychedelia that isn’t anything like what most fans expected. Death Grips’ discography is nothing short of chaos that we all love to examine and this album won’t be any different in that […]
Houston’s very own B L A C K I E will be making an appearance at Day for Night 2017. Michael LaCour’s noise, hip-hop, industrial, hardcore punk project is an explosion of chaos and experimentation that not only shatters boundaries but rips up and eats it. LaCour is a veteran of the Houston scene as he’s been […]
Last Friday, at White Oak Music Hall, I had the opportunity to see Death Grips and Ministry perform. Prior to the show I had never really listened to Ministry. The few songs I heard had the same industrial/EBM feel that Death Grips is known for in their production. I assumed that there would be some […]
Coverage by Waylon O’Day Raj Radia Wow, so the day finally came, the much anticipated Sound on Sound Fest went off without with some slight hitches. Although these are to be expected when you are starting off what looks to be, and what I personally hope is the beginning of an amazing new Texas music […]
If you have never heard of Death Grips, or have and just aren’t that familiar with them. Well, now is the perfect time to take a swan dive into their music, because the long awaited Bottomless Pit has finally been released to the world.
Death Grips made their way down to Houston for their tour supporting their latest album The Powers that B. If you hadn’t heard, the show sold out in just a couple of days. Death Grips went through a time last year where they didn’t show up to their scheduled gigs; they weren’t even in the […]
In case you missed it, Death Grips made a major announcement in regards to the release of the highly anticipated “Jenny Death” (the second half of “The Powers That Be”) as well as an unexpected world tour. The news of a tour is a little shocking, given the fact that the experimental trio announced their breakup last summer. Along […]
2012: A Year In Retrospect, via List Format If the world is really going to end tomorrow, I might as well talk about some cool shit that has happened musically in 2012. Well, to be honest, not all of it is cool. Some of it may be pretty terrible. Its up to you I suppose. Anyways, […]
