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 […]
Cecelia Moore Music Journalist Booming basslines, strobe lights, neon green and sweat stained clothes filled the American Airlines Center on October 9th when Charli XCX and Troye Sivan brought their highly anticipated SWEAT tour to Dallas, TX. Charli’s dirty club beats combined with Sivan’s innovative dance pop is a match made in EDM heaven, which made for an electrifying night. Both Charli and Sivan have reached new peaks in […]
Michael Ybarra Music Journalist On the first cool night of fall, a line formed outside of Antone’s Nightclub, extending around the corner of the block. Young adults chit chatted with each other, but behind me, a couple in the winter of their lives spoke with a young woman. “We’ve never heard her before. What kind of music does she make,” they asked. They were in for a treat. I […]
Robert Lloyd Howard IV Rap Journalist When JPEGMAFIA announced his ‘Lay Down My Life Tour’ on June 15, 2024, excitement rippled through the fanbase. On July 15, he released the single "Sin Miedo," which was a high-energy, bumping track that made anticipation for the album and tour even higher. By the time I LAY DOWN MY LIFE FOR YOU finally arrived on August 1, fans were counting down the days, […]
Joaquin Lewis Music Journalist After The Garden’s performance at Stubb’s Waller Creek Amphitheater ended, the audience leaving the venue faced a fork in the road. They could either drift away, letting the raw, ephemeral punk energy dissolve into memory, or they could take a chance on the free after-show inside Stubbs' more intimate stage, allowing for the night to continue. Having chosen the latter, I descended the steep, secluded steps […]
Joaquin Lewis Music Journalist “What’s going on?” “Who are all these people.” “Why are they all wearing, like, weird make-up?” When considering the perspective of unsuspecting passersby, the mass collection of audience members wrapping around Stubb's Waller Creek Amphitheater could be viewed as out of the ordinary. Dressed conspicuously in their all-black outfits, accompanied by a face full of jester-like makeup, the crowd gathered for that evening's performance were […]
By Evelyn Lopez Music Journalist Two Star & The Dream Police (2024), the debut studio album from Mike Gordon, a.k.a. Mk.gee, was released in February earlier this year. The 12-track album is filled with distorted guitar breaks, 80’s synths, and a production style many have compared to Phil Collins. The album has no listed features unless you are counting the production credits to Dijon on “New Low” and "DNM.” I […]
Evelyn Lopez Music Journalist I have experienced a full-circle moment. Over a year ago, I wrote an album review for Scaring The Hoes Vol. 1, and on April 11, I heard some of my favorite tracks from this project live. This is my first concert review with my first media pass! I cannot express how excited I was to be at this show. As a fan of Danny Brown, this […]
