my constantly updated collection of concert, song, and album reviews, as well as interviews with musical artists.

Bleachers-01_edited_edited.jpg

Bleachers

Southside Ballroom | 2024

"There are only so many artists and bands one could claim as being “once-in-a-generation”, and Bleachers definitely cemented themselves as just that on their Dallas stop of the From The Studio To The Stage US 2024 Tour."

Taylor Acorn

House of Blues Dallas - Cambridge Room | 2024

"For those who’ve never seen Taylor Acorn live, it would be hard to imagine just how much energy she packs right out of the gate...It was so clear while watching the show just how much Acorn puts into her performance, making the small Cambridge Room feel larger than life."

Jazmin Bean

Album Review | Traumatic Livelihood

"Tackling intense themes of traumatic relationships along with sexual and drug abuse, Bean gives us an unbridled glimpse into their life, past and present...Bean bears themselves in such a an open, brutal, and beautiful way, cementing themselves as a force to be reckon with within the pop scene."

Joywave

Song Review | Scared

"'Scared’ tells the story of being afraid to love within a relationship, the feeling of being trapped inside yourself, even though you know it’s not only hurting you, but your partner... [Scared] is raw and honest in nature and is a very exciting part to what is shaping up to be one of Joywave’s best releases yet."

"Self-described as “Weird rock, with some pretty parts, like pyrite”; DFW natives Cork are releasing their first official single ‘Rabbit’ on April 11th. With the song being in the works as early as last fall, ‘Rabbit’ brings together a driving instrumental under a beautiful spoken word poem combined with heavy-hitting vocals."

“Grop" Darlings Smothered Talk New Music, Their Creative Process, and Much More

Interview | 2024

"Before the start of a string of shows all across the DFW this month, Denton grunge-pop band Smothered took the time to chat with us about their upcoming song (and music video) Splinter. Smothered, consisting of Taylor Watt, Zach Palmer, Raegan Smythe, and Mal Frenza, explain the creative process of their new music, evolving with their local music scene, and share some of their favorite stories from their live shows in and outside of the band."
