The 6-track EP exemplifies the producer’s versatility, as it’s appropriate for both the dance floor and reflection at the end of the night. I got the chance […]

Interviews
During my angst-filled, awkwardly teenage formative years, I went through what everyone else did at that age – a solid emotional roller coaster. Every complication was the end of the world, my parents were my biggest frustration and no one understood me better than Emery. These guys were the soundtrack to my life. Nothing screams […]

I’ve never been one for making a big deal out of New Years celebrations, but that was before I had one that completely blew my mind. Rather than contemplating the usual hastily thrown together warehouse gatherings and overpriced club events, I spent December 31st counting down the new year with one of the most talented […]

Live Music Coverage
Composed by Gabe Bowden. Periphery, oh Periphery. This three guitarist band frontmanned by the deeply powerful vocalist Spencer Sotelo is definitely one of my favorite bands to see live. Their guitarists, Misha Mansoor, Mark Holcomb, and Jeff Bowen have seemed to master their own style of music. To me, that is why they can essentially […]

The humanistic need to explore is deeply rooted within ourselves; the thirst to see new horizons and spending […]
