For everyone complaining about trash rappers these days, deM atlaS is here to bring some saving grace. His dark and haunting melodies will echo down a dim street in your mind. Hailing from St. Paul, Minnesota he is among the freshman class of new rappers on my favorite label – Rhymesayers. His sound is a rap revival of Seattle grunge – at some […]

With all of the excitement surrounding the Colorado music scene this NYE, Michal Menert welcomed a SOLD OUT crowd to 2017 with an unforgettable performance at the Aggie Theater, in Fort Collins.

Forget ACL, Sound on Sound is injecting its imagination into the Texas festival scene. Last weekend I had a truly magical experience, completely carefree… until the event was suddenly evacuated. We’ll speak more on that later, but first up of course, is the music. The fairground was small enough to walk in 20 minutes and […]
