Desarey Elizondo Lopez Music Journalist The weather was rainy and foggy, and the lights were hazy as I arrived at Mohawk Tuesday night. I navigated my way to the front as most of the crowd was taking shelter under what little roof was available at the venue. However, a bit of rain would not stop me nor anyone else from having the best night with La Dispute. My first […]
Desarey Elizondo Lopez Music Journalist There isn’t a band out in the world that is anything like Sword II. There are so many aspects and influences that make up their recognizable DIY music, which mixes shoegaze, indie, and punk to create a sort of chaotic but cohesive sound that can be heard in their latest album, Electric Hour. I discovered this band senior year of high school, fell in […]
Desarey Elizondo Lopez Music Journalist The noise of harsh guitars and samples looping over and over again filled the room at Emo’s Friday night. The people were moshing, the music was loud, and the lineup was stacked for the night; I knew I was in for a rowdy night. Machine Girl consists of members Matt Stephenson (bass, vocals), Sean Kelly (drums), and Lucy Caputi (guitar). With their sound […]
Abby McCabe Local Music Director It’s been almost a year since I published my long-form interview with singer, composer, music nerd-extroidinaire, Matt Abajian (Which you can read here… it’s great), and almost a full year since I was introduced to the wonderful world of Hover, an Austin-based electronic neo-folk project led by Matt and friends.

Their Austin show at Mohawk marked their only U.S. show for this stretch of their Doom Loop World Tour, which of course meant I couldn’t miss out on it. What made seeing this band so important […]
Sofia Slack Music Reviewer AUSTIN, Texas – On Thursday night, Radio/East shed its daytime coffeehouse calm and transformed into a buzzing pocket of noise, energy, and emotion. The venue, tucked away in East Austin, felt more like a secret show than a formal concert — small, open, and steeped in that effortless indie charm that makes Austin’s scene so magnetic. Radio-East buzzed with quiet anticipation as people filed in under […]
Sofia Slack Music Reviewer AUSTIN, Texas – Red and yellow lights pulsed through the thick fog as the crowd pushed toward the barricade, sweaty and restless. The hum of anticipation was electric. When the first distorted chord rang out, the floor shook, and the venue collectively lost its mind. For the rest of the night, Austin was in for a beautiful and memorable night of ballads and pure chaos. Loathe, […]
Ethan McConnell Local Music Director When you think of the genre of metal, what comes to your mind? The first thing that comes up are probably artists like, Korn, System of a Down, or Metallica, loud rambunctious sounds by men who love to wear a lot of black. The genre has always been known for its distorted guitars and jumping percussion layered with lyricism of dark themes, creating a […]
