Sofia Slack Music Reviewer The lights dipped lower, and the room shifted. Phones went up instinctively. Fans leaned forward as MGNA Crrrta took the stage, joined earlier in the night by opener Tommy Fleece. The first track rolled in, setting the tone with "Armageddon." The bass came in heavy, immediate, something you felt more than heard. Formed in New York City, MGNA Crrrta is made up of Farheen Khan and […]
Paxton Poole Music Journalist Uncertainty is one of the few facets of life everybody experiences. Many people succumb to the stress and fear that uncertainty brings with it, succumbing to despair when things aren’t set in stone. Personally, I’ve never been able to find comfort in the unknown and get scared at the many possible directions my life could take. Then along came “A Hum Of Maybe” by Apparat, […]
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 […]
Kathryn Akers Local Music Journalist I met Connor last spring semester through a mutual friend. At the time, I was unaware he was a musician.

By Bridget Holt Music Journalist Industrial pioneers Einstürzende Neubauten (translating to “collapsing new buildings”) have been on the cutting edge of music since their conception in the late 1970’s; taking a literal approach to the genre with the help of some sheet metal, power drills, jackhammers, and, of course, chainsaws. Provoked by the almost three-decade long division of Germany by the Berlin wall, the West Berlin based outfit pummeled into the […]
By Elise Montemayor Music Journalist When one thinks of electronic music, they think of a big stage, laser lights and a fist pumping DJ that is usually a man. Now, no shade to male DJs or electronic artists. There are so many amazing ones out there including, but not limited to, Kraftwerk, Daft Punk, Aphex Twin, Flying Lotus, Disclosure, etc. But like basically all genres of music, electronic music is […]

By Dallas Williams Music Journalist Artist: Moon Hooch Album: Red Sky Label: Hornblow Release Date: June 14, 2016 Website: www.moonhooch.com Moon Hooch is a chasm of sounds that can best be described as carefully architected dissonance. The trio is hard to pigeon-hole and even harder to describe. For the sake of trying; the band’s third album, Red Sky is explosive, mystical, jazz-influenced grooves. The album is nothing short of an experience. […]
