By Ryder White Music Journalist Punk has been around for a while now. Depending on who you ask, you may hear that it has been around since the mid-1950s when suburban parents were afraid that their children would become devil worshippers when rock ‘n’ roll first started receiving radio air play. Some say it started in the late 1960s when the likes of the MC5 and Iggy and the Stooges […]
By Erin Patterson Music Journalist Spring Break is approaching fast! Whether you’re booking it to the beach with your closest friends or having a chill week in town, these five songs are essential to any Spring Break playlist. First on the list, we have “Amber” by 311. This song is a classic early 2000s beach anthem. If you’re laying by the ocean, sipping on a piña colada or […]
By Aaliyah Hamilton Music Journalist The first thing that comes to mind for most when BANKS is mentioned is usually the financial institution that holds their money.

The event was held to raise money for trans youths in Texas and was held at Red […]
By Clara Blankenship Music Journalist I am constantly on the hunt for new artists and albums to fit my current situations and emotions. As finals are approaching, a sense of being overwhelmed has dominated my days. To my dismay, I was having trouble finding music that matched my stress. I was listening to KTSW while driving, as I usually do, and I heard a song that perfectly emulated my frustration […]
By Bandera Barter Music Journalist Sony and Cher, Willy and Waylon, Bert and Ernie — all iconic duos, but now it's time for a new team to carry the torch. This would be no other than Courtney Barnett and Kurt Vile, solidified by their joint album Lotta Sea Lice. The two have each provided some of the most creative and inspired songwriting on their own in the last couple of […]
By Avery Viers Music Journalist With the surplus of *activities* that were available to the residents of San Marcos this past Wednesday, you may have missed some of the live shows planned to celebrate the happy, hazy holiday. With just a $7 cover fee, Lazydaze Coffeeshop hosted their "Lazy 4/20" event in their backyard lounge area, complete with an outdoor stage and other local vendors joining in the celebration. Forming […]
By Bandera Barter Music Journalist What if I told you the greatest guitarist to ever live was alive right now? I would also say he’s just getting started. The living legend I am referring to is none other than William Lee Apostol, better known by his stage name, Billy Strings. You might also be surprised to hear that in this day and age the greatest guitarist alive would be playing […]
