By Paris FosterMusic Journalist In the early 2000s, a figure hung around the streets of New York City smoking cigarettes and drinking 40s. With two glazed eyes, unkempt hair, and a post-punk leather jacket, this individual represented The Strokes. Everyone wanted to be one…. Arguably the most important plural indie rock band of their time, (i.e The White Stripes, The Killers, The Arctic Monkeys, etc.) The Strokes obtained much of […]

Getting inspiration from The Districts, The Backseat Lovers create the perfect rock sound. Their debut album, When We Were Friends, released back in 2019, consists of nine incredible songs.

By Victor GuevaraMusic Journalist The best way to describe this album would be a complete melting pot of culture. Madlib, the now-infamous producer, DJ, rapper and multi-instrumentalist completely shows off his masterful skill on his newest album, Sound Ancestors. Pairing up with Kieran Hebden, otherwise known as “Four Tet” as the arranger, the two of them created a complete instrumental project that could almost sound like someone's playlist on shuffle. […]
By Gage SuttonMusic Journalist After the release of their debut studio album Nu Religion: Hyena in 2017, THEY. returned in October of 2020 ready to make a statement. The tandem of Drew Love and Dante Jones followed up their impressive freshman album with a sonically pleasing and emotionally charged second album, The Amanda Tape. Mentored by legendary producer Timbaland, THEY. is starting to get the attention their music deserves. These […]
By Jesse RodriguezMusic Journalist Planetory Destruction is the debut album by Docter Destruction A.K.A “DOC D.” The album comes to us 70 years before its release as DOC D has built a time machine and is creating and releasing the mixtape as he’s simultaneously destroying the universe in the future. At least, that’s the story of this album. But who is DOC D in the real world? DOC D is […]
By Dillon VeazieMusic Journalist On January 22, 2021, Canadian singer Mike Milosh, under the stage name of “Rhye,” released his fourth full-length record, Home. Under the supervision of Lom Vista Recordings, Rhye released one of the most animated and transformative albums of the new year. Home is an interesting blend of soft pop, indie pop, and ambient. Home blends chillwave with touches of past and present R&B and soul acts. […]
By Lea MercadoWeb Content Contributor Matador Records has become one of the biggest record labels in indie music. Although it seems counterintuitive for a record label to dominate a genre born out of independent production, Matador has managed to produce new music from the artists on a massive scale without sacrificing the feeling of intimacy between the listener and the artist. One of the label’s largest productions of 2018 was […]
By Gabriela SolisMusic Journalist Released right at the cusp of 2005, First Impressions of Earth is rock band The Strokes' third studio album. Considering this album single-handedly kicked off my angsty teen years, I can’t help but hold First Impressions of Earth near and dear to my heart. Full of pessimistic lyrics and rough instrumentation, this album is the perfect piece to blast alone in your car. The second track, […]
By Bradley BarnesMusic Journalist Everyone has that one band or musician that never fails to strike the right chords (pun partially intended). Whether it’s the sound, lyrics or mood they create, this artist is seemingly incapable of writing a song that you don’t absolutely adore, and you always wind up grinning ear-to-ear while singing along. For me, that artist is Pedro The Lion, and I’ve been a fan since around […]
