Falling in line alongside all the rest of this year’s large-scale music events, Mad Cool Festival in Madrid had to make the tough decision to reschedule for 2021. What was originally planned for this week in Spain was going to be beyond lit, mind you. Four sunny Spanish celebratory days with the best in alternative […]
We know… this summer’s kind of bummer being stuck inside without a live concert in sight. But, if we have to live in a world without live performances, at least we have the powers of the Internet! What we all need right now is a virtual event highlighting the healing powers of reggae and that […]
You may not be too familiar with rising sensation Common Saints of the UK, yet the name Charlie J. Perry should ring a few bells. The accredited producer out of South London has worked with the likes of BTS, Jorja Smith and Maverick Sabre (among several other big names), recording his own works here and there […]
Let’s face it — if any year was on ‘island time’, it’s 2020. With a slow rollout, abrupt change of pace and virtually no agenda (pun intended), what better way to commemorate this forced downtime than with kicking back and making the most out of life on pause? Orange County indie rock band Aloha Radio […]
Without the thrill of monthly festivals and concert getaways, 2020 has been, well, the biggest drag of all time musically.

In summary, festivals need a do-over. Up […]
It’s hard to believe MEGACRUISE was just 7 months ago — where we were all on a boat for five days together!

Reggae, especially American reggae, is under fire right now. These artists are the ones that have been preaching peace, love and unity for black citizens since the inception of its genre.

Up-and-coming Jamaican artist Fyah Roiall defies classification, mashing UK grime with American trap and dancehall into something new, dubbed ‘grimehall’.

Washington D.C. has been thrust full-throttle into the front lines of the Black Lives Matter movement sweeping the nation and rightly so, considering that is where country leaders reside!

A country on the verge of civil war is nothing compared to the insurmountable injustice that has paved the way here.

Contentious clashes between police and protestors have intensified over the past weekend, as people of all colors and creeds speak out on the inhumane and incorrigible death of George Floyd.
