Beartooth is immortal. The observation stems from the mantra, “I’m destined for greatness or death,” off of their latest album Disease. In the aptly named track “Greatness or Death,” frontman Caleb Shomo proselytizes the idea that it’s either greatness or death. Logically then, he and the other guys are simply immortal. They have achieved so […]

What is the best approach to naming a band? Most of the time it seems as if there is no technique, but the name is simply a roll of the dice and random words strung together. At first glance at the band name Fever 333, the first thought is just that, “Well, that’s random.” The […]

Chromeo, a duo from Canada consisting of Dave 1 and P-Thugg, is breathing life into an otherwise dead genre and still carving out their own spot in the music genus with their funky, electronic, pop grooves.

Gems such as “Real G’s move in silence like lasagna” from “6 Foot 7 Foot” featured on his 2011 album Tha Carter IV and “Got Spring hatin’ […]
When you go to an organic show, you will know. The sounds that emanate from the speakers are unlike many sounds that artists can create on stage. They’re pure and soft and create a feeling that I watched change people in their facial expressions, their stance, their attitude. Bonobo and Jeremy Sole put on that […]

After last night I can say that I have never seen anyone up on stage as energized or passionate as Travi$ Scott. The man is an engine that just won’t stop, from beginning to end. He came out Friday evening with flame graphics moving behind the stage and set forth a heated show himself. By […]
“Last time I was in Houston, there were about 500 of you… now there’s about 1700.” These words, spoken by Logic in the middle of his set, display a man finally making a name for himself in the city of Houston. I have always been a fan of Logic, but this concert served as a […]
The first band, In Memory Of, was obviously well known and well liked by the audience. Right before they began playing the audience cheered at an almost deafening level and girls were proclaiming their love for the members. They began with very upbeat, energetic songs that showcased the singer’s mastery of clean and unclean vocals […]
