Knox R. White Music Journalist Starcrawler is a glam-punk-alternative rock and roll band from Los Angeles, California. Since forming in 2015, the band has been heralded for putting on incredibly tight and energetic concerts. Also, since their formation, the band has only had two line-up changes.

Cherry Ice Coot is a pop group based in Olympia, Washington that’s comprised of two vocalists, Sugar and Cookie, and former Texas State University student John Appel, who is the group’s producer.

By Deacon Wolfe Music Journalist Kayo Dot is a strange band. Despite having a nearly twenty-year tenure, with a whopping ten albums under their belt, they have managed to stay in the underground for their entire career. It is this that I believe to be the biggest tragedy in all of modern music: the fact that these absolute genius performers and composers have managed to go unknown for so long. […]
By Maddy Lehr Music Journalist Recently, I had the absolute pleasure of speaking with the lovely members of Alexalone during their third show of their April residency at Hotel Vegas. Alex Peterson, Sam Jordan and Andrew "Drewsky" Hulett played a captivating show that left me feeling utterly entranced. Before their set, we sat down to talk new music, old music and more. Maddy: How has the residency been? […]

By Ashley Farnie Assistant Music Director When renforshort was announced as a SXSW official artist, I was transported back to her 2020 EP, teenage angst. The maximalist aesthetic of the album cover drew me into renforshort’s discography, giving me something to escape the four walls of my quarantine abode.

By Evelyn Lopez Rap/Hip-Hop Music Journalist I first came across Sal Patlan at an open mic night at Stellar Coffee, where he was performing his poetry. I resonated with his art, and he had a sick flow to it too. Much later, I met him through mutual friends, and after experiencing his sense of humor, I knew I would become friends with him too. Sal Patlan is a first-generation student […]
By: Andrea Moor Music Journalist 29-year-old Laredoan Carlos Ramirez, otherwise known as Auragraph, is a creative that’s made wide strides in their respective fields. Initially playing guitar in most of the bands they worked with in their adolescence, their encounters with music would change drastically when they moved up north for their undergrad. Having studied at UT Austin for film, Ramirez had nothing but pleasantries to claim about their time […]
By Ashley Farnie Assistant Music Director This week I had the opportunity to talk with one of my biggest musical inspirations, Tommy Lefroy, before their Austin show on Samia’s Honey Tour. The two-piece band of best friends, Wynter Bethel and Tessa Mouzourakis, bonded over their love of literature and experience in songwriting. During the stillness ensued by the onset of the pandemic, the duo rekindled from a distance and […]
