Desarey Elizondo Lopez  Music Journalist   This past Tuesday I had the opportunity to see the screamo/hardcore band Orchid, a band that I have been a huge fan of for a few years. Their Austin show at Mohawk marked their only U.S. show for this stretch of their Doom Loop World Tour, which of course meant I couldn’t miss out on it.     What made seeing this band so important […]

Rebellions Are Built On Hope

By Tiger ShiWeb Content Contributor *Heads up, Spoilers Ahead* I grew up watching the shows “The Clone Wars” (2008-2020) and“Star Wars: Rebels” (2014-2018).
