The day of work and school I had made me question if I even wanted to be at the show in the first place. The other bands came and went without much of an impact, but as Bosh […]

Album Review: EP by Die Mart

by Octavio Benavides Local Music Journalist   The sound and style of Austin’s post hardcore band Die Mart stands out from much of the local scene. Their harsh, yet neatly, constructed instrumentals are matched perfectly with raw, visceral vocals of lead singer Cristian Reynoso. The energy that they can create during their shows is unmatched. Yet, like lightning in a bottle, their first album, EP (2023), captures their uniqueness and […]

Album Review: Djesse Vol. 4 by Jacob Collier

By Michael Ybarra Music Journalist It is very common for artists to struggle with finishing a piece of work. The final brushstroke, the final vocal run, the final edit.

It is hard to end something well, but Jacob Collier has perfectly concluded his entry into the world of music with the final […]
