Desarey Elizondo Music Journalist Shoegaze and experimental noise band They are Gutting a Body of Water has become a powerhouse within the underground scene. What makes this band especially unique is their incorporation of breakcore and drum and bass elements, and I can’t think of another band even remotely similar to their sound. TAGABOW is a band I first discovered when I was in high school and have been […]
Aidan Salas Music Journalist “Heaven is a place on earth with you / Tell me all the things you wanna do” is the iconic line that everyone in the world knows from the song “Video Games.” Born to Die is Lana’s debut album that came out in 2012 that was a massive success.

Juniper Wolff Local Music Journalist As temperatures finally drop below triple digits, I can safely say that fall is here. Nothing beats the slightly cooler air, crunchy leaves on the ground, and overall calming environment of Texas autumn. For me, fall truly hasn’t taken effect until I’ve created a playlist to match the relaxing ambiance. “Fall Music” differs from person to person. In my opinion, the best fall music is […]

Lee McNally Local Music Journalist Narrow Head’s third studio album “Moments of Clarity” first released in February of 2023, has continued to remain vital to my music taste today, so much so that almost every track stays in my current rotation. An alt-rock band hailing from Dallas, Texas, Narrow Head has transcended multiple genres, from the dreamlike distortion of shoegaze to the angst of ‘90s grunge. Furthermore, frontman Jacob Duarte […]
Jillian Turley Music Journalist Who is Role Model, who is Chuck Timely, and what is The Hourglass? Musician and pop singer, Tucker Pillsbury, debuts in his recently released album under yet another alias that has an audience reflecting on who are his alter egos. Coming off of his sophomore album "Kansas Anymore," Role Model, aka Tucker Pillsbury, took heartbreak and life lessons and showed us that there is in fact […]

But it also has the ability to project careers into the limelight through abnormal acts that gain attention, dubious social lives, legal troubles, and scandals. I'll be showcasing examples and explaining how artists have used controversy to capitalize even as their popularity declines. In the age of social media, […]
Enrique Lara Rap/Hip-hop Music Journalist The rustic upstairs venue of this beer garden wrapped up the final performances before the upstairs venue closed off for 21+ ticket holders. Barely beating the crowd and making the cut, I found myself at the front of the stage while a teenager and his band prepared their setup. With his Hello Kitty guitar strap and a room illuminating with purple spotlights, the frontman took […]
