Ethan McConnell Local Music Director Park the car underneath the bridge off east sixth. Walk through the streets of Austin as the cold air runs through my poorly knitted sweater. As I reach the end of the trail where do I end up, none other than Brushy St. Commons hosting the worst garage-punk band you could imagine (I'm jokin, I’m jokin). This was one of the shorter concerts that I've […]

By Tania ZapienMusic Journalist The pop punk favorites kicked off The Mirror Tour at Paper Tiger in San Antonio, Texas on Monday, Oct. 21. The Phoenix, Arizona natives delivered a stellar performance full of self-reflection and a lot of love to a crowd of undeniably emo 20-somethings. Per the band’s request on Instagram the day before, the crowd was dressed in gold in honor of the band’s latest album, You […]
By Victoria Roxanne HillMultimedia Music Journalist On Oct. 8, 2019, the fans that came to see Bad Suns at Paper Tiger were in for a rude awakening when Ultra Q and Lilly opened the concert.

Revisionist Westerns seem preoccupied […]
By Cheyenne Heaslet Music Reviewer Artist: The Starting Line Album: Anyways EP Label: Downtown Records Release Date: February 18, 2016 Website: www.startinglinerock.com Anyone familiar with the pop-punk explosion of the mid-2000s will no doubt remember The Starting Line.
