By Khoza ShebachMusic Journalist Ill-defined, alternative pop music are the words to describe this seven-track album created by Baby FuzZ titled Welcome To The Future. This album is dedicated to young adults who surround themselves with sarcasm and dark humor. More specifically, marketed to those who use jokes and derision to conceal their deep inner emotions of how they feel about their individual life. For example, if someone asks a […]
By Yarely Ortiz Music Journalist While volunteering for South by Southwest in 2017, I was roaming around the Austin Convention Center to see what musicians I could watch during my lunch hour. As I was roaming around the second floor, I walked past a big poster announcing Chicano Batman was playing.

By Daniel BarrettMusic Journalist Sleeping-in on a Sunday morning, waking up to soft rays of sunlight peeking through the blinds. Beginning the day with a hot shower as the smell of fresh-brewed coffee floats its way over from the kitchen. Taking that first step outside on a warm, breezy afternoon, only to make it a mile down the road and get caught in a thunderstorm with no umbrella. Sure, these […]
By Jared PayneMusic Journalist Alaska Reid has been playing gigs since she was 14 years old. The Montana native grew up in a very small town and attended a school that consisted of only one room.

By Samantha Oesch Music Journalist Pandemic life has been drastically different, but it has not stopped Austin-based solo artist Kendra Sells from creating. Sells, singer of local neo-soul group Blumoon, has stepped out of her comfort zone in writing her upcoming EP “All In Your Head” and performing solo gigs. Branching out to play solo has been a new experience for Sells. She has always been “DIY” with creating album […]
By Diamond Marie PedrozaMusic Journalist In January 2021, Pom Poko released their sophomore album, Cheater. Not only is Cheater their best album yet, but each of its 10 songs provides excellent material to dance to. Pom Poko is a Norwegian art-rock band signed to the U.K. record label, Bella Union. They named themselves Pom Poko after the Studio Ghibli film, “Pom Poko,” even though they had never seen the film. […]
By Joaquin RoblesMusic Journalist Cover art for The Veil's album Total Depravity by Nicola Samori As the Catholic doctrine of total depravity speaks to the sinfulness and corruption of human nature, The Veils parallel this mindset in their 2016 album of the same name. Total Depravity speaks volumes, features dark and ominous tones, prominent and capturing bass lines, and an overall eerie soundstage and profile. Total Depravity is like a […]
By Victor GuevaraMusic Journalist The second full-length album by Karaoke (a fairly new collaborative band based out of Atlanta) is nothing less than hypnotizing. Before even listening to the album, the title alone already sets the tone for the kind of experience you are in for. While the album still shows elements of the band’s dream-pop sound from their debut album How to make you Boil, the new album took […]
By Jennifer Romero Music Journalist Nearly six years ago on May, 26th, 2015, A$AP Rocky released his second studio album titled AT.LONG.LAST.A$AP.
