Jared Stautzenberger Assistant Music Director This past Sunday I had the opportunity to attend Kesha's Freedom Tour at the Germania Insurance Amphitheater in Austin. Although the thunder tried to interfere with our plans to let loose, Kesha put on a killer performance and reminded everyone that she is the certified queen of bangers! This show was apart of the later half of her tour that supported her new album […]
Paxton Poole Music Journalist Throughout my college experience I’ve argued many different times with my friends about music. More specifically, I’ve been in arguments about when the best times to play specific songs. I’ve always been under the train of thought that songs are best played either during the day or during the night. Daytime Songs When thinking of daytime songs, I usually think of more alternative […]
Ava Peters Music Journalist Recently, I've been feeling like all the music I listen to has been force-fed to me by algorithms. Discovering music seems harder to me than ever, when it is technically easier. Platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and TikTok give us access to thousands of albums and songs constantly. More music than any record store ever could. However, it feels forced. The same artists appear, and […]
Desarey Elizondo Lopez Music Journalist The weather was rainy and foggy, and the lights were hazy as I arrived at Mohawk Tuesday night. I navigated my way to the front as most of the crowd was taking shelter under what little roof was available at the venue. However, a bit of rain would not stop me nor anyone else from having the best night with La Dispute. My first […]
Ava Peters Music Journalist Music is an essential aspect of movies; it shapes how we experience them. Yet when it comes to award recognition, not all film scores are valued equally. The loudest and most recognizable scores are typically the ones that win the most rewards. Are awards honoring the most effective film music, or the loudest? The Oscar-winning One Battle After Another perfectly demonstrated how music can quietly […]
Desarey Elizondo Lopez Music Journalist There isn’t a band out in the world that is anything like Sword II. There are so many aspects and influences that make up their recognizable DIY music, which mixes shoegaze, indie, and punk to create a sort of chaotic but cohesive sound that can be heard in their latest album, Electric Hour. I discovered this band senior year of high school, fell in […]
Paxton Poole Music Journalist Uncertainty is one of the few facets of life everybody experiences. Many people succumb to the stress and fear that uncertainty brings with it, succumbing to despair when things aren’t set in stone. Personally, I’ve never been able to find comfort in the unknown and get scared at the many possible directions my life could take. Then along came “A Hum Of Maybe” by Apparat, […]
Paxton Poole Music Journalist With women’s history month coming to an end, I wanted to talk about one of my all-time favorite musicians, Samira Winter. Samira Winter is the lead singer of the LA based band “Winter,” named after her surname. Winter elegantly blends shoegaze, indie rock, and dream pop in an ethereal manner that makes the listener feel a sort of enlightenment. Samira Winter was born in […]
Desarey Elizondo Lopez Music Journalist The noise of harsh guitars and samples looping over and over again filled the room at Emo’s Friday night. The people were moshing, the music was loud, and the lineup was stacked for the night; I knew I was in for a rowdy night. Machine Girl consists of members Matt Stephenson (bass, vocals), Sean Kelly (drums), and Lucy Caputi (guitar). With their sound […]
