Blake Burton Music Journalist Friday night, August 21st, I found myself at Mohawk in Austin, Texas. I’ve followed a band from Philadelphia for a few years from their mid west emo and math rock scene and was stoked to finally be able to see Sweet Pill. For those that don’t know about Sweet Pill, now is the time to check them out! Earlier this year, they released a new record […]
Blake Burton Music Journalist On any given night, you’re bound to run into some sort of live music in Austin. I stumbled across a post from Doom Records showcasing artists Salt+ and Distressor. Not only are these two trending and emerging artists in the scene, it’s being hosted at an essential venue in Austin. Loud guitars, walls of reverb, and washed out vocals were the focus of the night, it […]
Blake Burton Music Journalist On Saturday August 8th, Radio East hosted local Austin legends, The Sword who were supported by Red Fang and Spoon Benders. When I checked local listings I saw that there were a little over 300 people who were interested in going so I didn’t expect such a wild turnout. This was my first show at Radio East since the opening of their outdoor stage. Immediately when […]
Sofia Slack Music Reviewer The lights dipped lower, and the room shifted. Phones went up instinctively. Fans leaned forward as MGNA Crrrta took the stage, joined earlier in the night by opener Tommy Fleece. The first track rolled in, setting the tone with "Armageddon." The bass came in heavy, immediate, something you felt more than heard. Formed in New York City, MGNA Crrrta is made up of Farheen Khan and […]
Sofia Slack Music Reviewer It was 2022 when I first learned about Drug Church. I was asked by one of my friends at the time if I wanted to go to Austin for a Halloween Punk Night show, and they told me Drug Church would be performing. At the time, I had only had a few songs of theirs in my playlist, but I agreed to go because I had […]
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 […]
Sofia Slack Music Reviewer AUSTIN, Texas – On Thursday night, Radio/East shed its daytime coffeehouse calm and transformed into a buzzing pocket of noise, energy, and emotion. The venue, tucked away in East Austin, felt more like a secret show than a formal concert — small, open, and steeped in that effortless indie charm that makes Austin’s scene so magnetic. Radio-East buzzed with quiet anticipation as people filed in under […]
Abby McCabe Local Music Director On a rainy Saturday night in downtown Austin, I had the opportunity to see the wonderfully vibrant and ever-luminous Alma Muñeca. From drab to fab, my evening was transformed faster than you can say Deseo Un Brillo… Speaking of…Celebrating the release of their newest and first EP titled Deseo Un Brillo, Alma Muñeca delivered an insatiable performance Saturday night at Elysium, Austin’s premiere Goth/Alternative […]
Sofia Slack Music Reviewer AUSTIN, Texas – Red and yellow lights pulsed through the thick fog as the crowd pushed toward the barricade, sweaty and restless. The hum of anticipation was electric. When the first distorted chord rang out, the floor shook, and the venue collectively lost its mind. For the rest of the night, Austin was in for a beautiful and memorable night of ballads and pure chaos. Loathe, […]
