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 […]
Bhavana Hari Rap Journalist Some albums are attached to the moment they were released, while others seem to grow into something different as time passes. Cleo Sol released her debut studio album Rose in the Dark on March 27, 2020, and it was produced by Inflow and released through Forever Living Originals. Though it was released during a year filled with uncertainty, isolation, and chaos, the 11-track album still delivered […]
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 […]
Brooke Bousley Music Journalist For those who have spent hours engaging with varying intersections of internet culture and the electronic music scene, an inevitable encounter with a recurring joke occurs: the vast majority of transgender women are DJs, music producers, or have the latest versions of Pro Tools, Splice, Serum, FL Studio, or Ableton Live downloaded to their computers. Similar to the bulk of the internet’s endearing humor, this […]

Emma Paff Rap/Hip-Hop Director This past Saturday, AfterDark Entertainment and Special Delivery Presents hosted a massive feat of entertainment: the San Marcos Block Party. Our beloved square was completely barricaded off, ready for the event described as the “biggest celebration in SMTX history.” After attending the block party myself, I can confirm that they 100% delivered. While the heat was dominating, it did not stop the long line forming outside […]
Kash Young Rap/Hip-Hop Journalist Atlanta has always been one of the biggest cities, constantly producing rap talent from T.I. to Outkast, Future, Gucci Mane, Playboi Carti, and Young Thug. There are plenty of upcoming artists in the underground who continue to make waves from Atlanta. Still, I think one sticks out the most as an artist who can truly be as influential and defining for years to come and be […]
Maddie Bogan Rap/Hip-Hop Journalist Oftentimes, the subject matter in hip-hop music covers a wide range of societal issues. Some people may not even realize it on the first play of a hip-hop song, but the catchy instrumentals they listen to intertwine with heavy and relevant lyricism that applies to our world.
