Enrique Lara Rap/Hip-Hop Journalist Quiet and present. The minimalist structure of the night at Antone’s was matched with the settling city after the five o’clock rush. Horse Jumper of Love, the headliner of the night, played in Austin on October 14, making it their first appearance in Texas since May of 2025. Joined by two openers, Horse Jumper of Love played their self-titled album in its entirety. The band just […]
Maddie Bogan Rap/Hip-Hop Journalist One of the most headstrong pioneers in the rap and hip-hop industry is the music group known as N.E.R.D., which consists of Pharrell Williams, Chad Hugo, and Shay Haley. If you think you don’t know who they are, you probably do without realizing it. Namely, their discography has been popping up a lot on TikTok in the last few years, but their narrative began long before […]
Ily Dunlap Rap/Hip-Hop Journalist On September 15, 2021, Injury Reserve would release their sophomore and final album, By the Time I Get to Phoenix, just a year after the death of founding member Steppa J. Groggs. The album reached me two years after its release when I learned that they sampled two of my favorite bands at the time, Black Midi, and Black Country, New Road. Just a few weeks […]
Lee McNally Local Music Journalist While Duster is one of the most well-known slowcore bands, various band members have some underappreciated side projects. Take vocalist Clay Parton’s slacker rock project Eiafuawn for example, which is most well-known for the 2005 album, “Birds In The Ground.” Earlier this September, Eiafuawn released a new EP, “Endless Body,” which was a total surprise for me and many other Duster-adjacent fans. So much so […]
Aidan Salas Music Journalist Olivia Rodrigo's third studio album “you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love” is another factor on how she stands alone compared to her peers. If you don’t know who Olivia Rodrigo is, then you have been living under a rock. She released her blockbuster debut album “SOUR” on May 21, 2021, and has remained the voice for Gen Z girls. Songs like, […]
Jared Stautzenberger Assistant Music Director - Rosalyn Conway Multimedia Journalist Austin City Limits weekend two was one of the best experiences that I had this year. Everything from the artists, freebies, events, and friends made was so special to me. Having the privilege to work press for such a huge music festival was beyond me, and I had the best time being involved. Although the dust, heat, and Austin […]

Brooke Bousley Music Journalist There is a recurring myth that culture sprouts from major hubs. For a prolonged period of time, this particular narrative insisted that if you longed to create impactful and intentional electronic music, the requirement resided within the emergence from an extensive metropolis or the act of relocating to cities like Los Angeles or New York City. However, in Adéla’s track “Ain’t in LA,” she challenges […]
