Clementine Lawless Music Journalist Music can be a generational aspect for many people, even in ways that may not be the most obvious. Culture, formal education for music, modern media and technology influence, as well as even social to intergenerational connection are all key aspects that contribute to music being passed down. Whether you’re gaining a sudden interest in your cultural background, dedicating some of your life through formal training […]
Shalini Malik Music Journalist Dating in today’s generation, if you haven’t already heard, is… let’s stick with the word HORRIBLE. And with the rise of ultra-popular dating apps—Tinder, Hinge, Bumble, Wizz, etc.—it’s not getting any easier and, in fact, is making the dating game a lot more complicated than it should be. Take it from me. I’ve gone on my fair share of Hinge and Tinder dates, and all I’m […]
Aliya Sanchez Music Journalist When people think of psychedelic music they usually think of bands that emerged from the mid 1960’s such as The Beatles, The Doors, Grateful Dead known for their colorful visuals and experimental instrumentals that pushed boundaries within the 1960s.

It’s something every music fan yearns for, and it’s what happened to me with this band. From the get-go, they didn’t seem like just another hardcore band in the crop of many.

Carissa Argumedo Music Journalist Nothing lights my soul on fire quite like the genre I lovingly call “The Classics.” It’s a category my brain conjured up long ago, made up of legends like Etta James, Frank Sinatra, Aretha Franklin, and so many more. This genre is a rich blend of soul, R&B, jazz, blues, and just a dash of rock—an emotional, timeless sound that shaped the very roots of my […]
Ethan McConnell Local Music Director Do you love American Football? And no, I’m not talking about sports. American Football, after only having a short-lived presence from 1997 to 2000, made a huge mark on the mid-west emo/math rock genre by adding many elements to their tracks like pinch harmonics, arpeggiating melodies, as well as constantly changing the rhythmic meter keeping you on your toes to get a feel for the […]
Ethan McConnell Music Journalist The history of Disc Jockey runs back to 1935 with no single creator, but continuous evolutions from various individuals and techniques over time. At first, it was only used for entertainment on early radio programs with record playing with seamless transitions between tracks. Later, it developed a multi-use of radio personalities, club promoters, and DJs like iconic DJ Cool Herc and Theodore Livingston. The scene has […]
By Evelyn Lopez Music Journalist Last April, when the debut album Your Day Will Come was released, I found out through the KTSW music inventory. I was so eager to hear the album that I took it upon myself to review it.
