Ethan McConnell Local Music Director It’s around that time when countless bands and artists start their tour runs. I know I would be dead broke if I made the decision to see every single artist I knew coming to town. There is one though that has been on my radar for a good long minute, and I just couldn’t pass up on the opportunity. Jordan Ward came down to a sold-out show at Antone’s after releasing his second studio […]

Little Simz brought her Year of the Lotus tour to Austin this past Tuesday, and while I was unfamiliar with her music, I was looking forward to experiencing something new. The gravel crunched beneath my feet as I journeyed into the venue. Stubb’s has a very rustic and laid-back feel. Vendors were selling […]

Sofia Slack Music Reviewer Austin, Texas - The hazy blue lights illuminated through the thick smoke fog, and the frequency faded in the first strum of the guitar. The crowd was in a trance, still sweaty from the openers. The moment, the hours of waiting, and the congested crowd knew it was all worth it. For the rest of the night, the only thing happening was Whirr. Whirr is an […]
By Evelyn Lopez Music Journalist Last April, when the debut album Your Day Will Come was released, I found out through the KTSW music inventory. I was so eager to hear the album that I took it upon myself to review it. Like many listeners, I was first introduced to Chanel Beads through their 2022 single “Ef.” Being my first impression of Chanel Beads, I was enamored by their impeccable […]
