Ily Dunlap Rap/Hip-Hop Journalist For three years now, I've been an avid listener of Underscores and Jane Remover. When I first listened to Wallsocket and Census Designated, I was astounded by the number of genres and lore you could hear in both albums. The storytelling on "Johnny johnny johnny" astounded me, and the blaring guitar on "Backseat Girl" brings me to tears every time I listen. Now, both artists have […]
Aidan Salas Music Journalist Pop music is a feminine game. Throughout the 21st century we have had several iconic women rise in the pop music genre. Artists like Britney Spears, Beyonce, Taylor Swift, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Ariana Grande and more have had careers that shaped pop music to what it is today. When you ask a person, “What is a modern pop girl?” they might answer with the blueprint […]
Kash Young Rap/Hip-Hop Journalist As 2026 continues, there’s no shortage of great music coming throughout the whole year, from EDM to rap to pop and more. But I think one of the best hidden gems and slept-on albums has to come from this summer and from another up-and-coming South London artist, Fimiguerrero, with his EP Statue of a Fool. Statue of a Fool is an eight-song EP that runs one […]
Kash Young Rap/Hip-Hop journalist What do chainmail, armor, swords, dragons, and heroes all have in common? They’re all connected to one thing. Medieval trap, but what is a medieval trap? Who is using it, and why is it something you should care about? I’m gonna take you into the crazy, experimental, and newest album from Zukenee. Why should you care about this new tape? Simply, it’s unique. That’s saying a […]
Cassandra Steffler Music Journalist On October 24th, I had the opportunity to attend a concert performance of Music by The Beatles, performed by The Rock and Roll Playhouse at Stable Hall in San Antonio with my younger siblings. The Rock and Roll Playhouse, as it may sound, is a travelling group that hosts concerts where they perform covers of popular artists tailored for children. I first learned about these events […]
Ethan McConnell Music Director As October approaches, concert season here in Austin keeps people busy. I feel as if, around this time, so many artists have been touching down here just this month alone. You’ve seen amazing sets ranging from prog rock artist Geordie Greep to experimental metal band Loathe. Not only that, but we still are not over Levitation Fest. I am not here to reminisce over every concert […]
Bhavana Hari Rap/Hip-Hop Journalist For Warren Commission, making music is not always about getting everything right on the first try. The best ideas begin as late-night experiments or sounds that only make sense once they've been rebuilt over and over again. For co-founders Tanay Kunta and Evan Lawrence, that process has become central to the way they approach songwriting. Warren Commission draws from the moody guitar work of the early […]
Lee McNally Local Music Journalist Last month, Mohawk, an Austin venue hosted the Cold Waves Festival, a Chicago-based event where multiple industrial and electronic bands tour and perform in various cities across the United States. The Cold Waves Festival started in 2012 after the passing of former Acumen Nation guitarist, Jamie Duffy, and still works to raise money in support of mental health organizations like Darkest Before Dawn. Although the […]
Desarey Elizondo Lopez Music Journalist The music scene in central Texas is thriving in all genres, from indie to hardcore. However, one overlooked genre is jazz, and one Texas State student is on a mission to bring it to San Antonio. Agusto Benavides is a music major who hopes to bring attention to the music through his new venue he’s running, called Blackbox. I had the opportunity to sit […]
