The time has come! Machine Gun Kelly has released his album, Mainstream Sellout. Previously titled ‘Born With Horns’, the sudden change in album name is perfect, considering this is Machine Gun Kelly’s second pop punk effort. Nothing is hits the mainstream harder than selling out to pop punk, right? Bummer that Machine Gun Kelly had […]

This fantastically eclectic group of intergalactic eccentrics currently reside at their 38-acre Austin-based commune (definitely, not a cult) and make outer-worldly music to inspire (or conquer?) us mere […]
The year was 1996 and I was a freshman at a small-town highschool. I remember the anxiety of that first day: stepping off the bus, filled with a naive optimism about the new friends and experiences I was about to have. I found myself now mixed into a world of mature-themed concepts, introduced by the […]
Even a broken foot couldn’t stop Canadian alt-pop musician Lights from making her way through Delmar Hall in St. Louis on April 26th.

Some shows take you by surprise, no matter how prepared you are for them. I’ve been a fan of Car Seat Headrest for years now… having seen them only once, opening up for Death Cab at the Hollywood Bowl. I went to that show specifically for CSH back in the summer of 2019 and remember […]

Kishi Bashi is not what you would consider a ‘household’ name in the music industry.

Once a member of the band Of Montreal, Kishi Bashi now has the distinct honor of having […]
Hippo Campus lit up the night in San Diego at the Observatory North Park on April 10th, 2022. The line to get in was wrapped around the building for the sold-out show; you could feel the pre-show excitement in the air. Chatters of wishes to hear old favorites and claims of the band’s fame were […]
Pinegrove brought their headlining tour to The Observatory, North Park in San Diego recently on April 5th to promote their latest album release, 11:11 (Rough Trade).

Longtime veterans in the music scene, they have managed to keep their style fresh and ever evolving.

SXSW is known for many things… whether it’s throngs of happy music lovers, rediscovering their love of seeking the best new bands, or the pack of tech guys in networking nirvana. Or, the film geeks and geek-ettes, gawking in gritty discourse over the merits (or lack thereof) of their latest screening. For me, though, SX […]
I walked into my favorite Nashville venue — the Brooklyn Bowl — on a recent Friday evening, not truly knowing what to expect from the upcoming night of music.
