Let’s be clear: The Manchester foursome Pale Waves has been a weirdly refreshing addition to the indie musical landscape. Goth-pop is a thing and, in the hands of Heather Baron-Graci (vox/guitar), Ciara Doran (drums), Hugo Silvani (guitar), and Charlie Wood (bass) their retro rooted, synth-washed ear candy registers as delicious as it is contemporarily charming. Perhaps it’s the bright, youthful vigor that Pale […]
Shuri and T’Challa know what’s up, folks. Yesterday I (and millions of my warm, close friends around the world) had the immense pleasure of traveling to Wakanda and – man – what a joy.

Happy day of life to you, […]
Although the first few months of the calendar year tend to be slow on good tours, 2018 already has a plethora of tours well-worth marking on your calendar from a wide variety of artists from the hard-rocking to the indie-popping and singing/songwriting. Here are 10 tours we’re quite excited for in the first quarter of 2018. 10. Dorothy It wouldn’t […]
Not that there weren’t plenty of great tours to hit 2017 from young, emerging, and about-to break artists (PHOX, July Talk, Potty Mouth, Slothrust, Jay Som, Diet Cig, Vérité, Bishop Briggs, Torres, Jessie Reyez, Mitski, In The Valley Below, and Kali Uchis all come to mind.), but there are a lot of children of the 90s out there who have […]
