Album Review: Matthew Santos – “Into the Further”

In a folk scene in threat of becoming stagnant in the face of major label commercialization, even Mumford & Sons are trying to reinvent themselves. Nobody wants to listen to the same Lumineers song over and over again, but if you’re the kind of music listener who just needs an acoustic guitar and some raw,…

Femme Fatale Friday: Ivy Levan

A pinch of Lady Gaga. A dash of Christina Aguilera. A big helping of an even bigger voice. And, last but not least, a whole hell of a lot of style, spunk, and personality. And that, my friends, are the components of the pop princess Ivy Levan. Thanks to Amazon, I recently stumbled across the…

Album Review: “VEGA INTL. Night School” – Neon Indian

Neon Indian has basically remained consistent throughout all their albums and Alan Palomo has been able to pump up the quality of each one immensely.

You may recognize the sister duo as the voices behind "Secret," the creepily intoxicating theme song from Pretty Little Liars.…

Every Friday we will be honoring the stunning Female musicians who have caught our eyes, ears, and hearts (we know that sounded corny, but roll with it). This week we're featuring Halsey! I first discovered Halsey at WTSR, the radio station I'm the manager of (open your mind and bang your f**king head!). The second…

Femme Fatale Friday: Lulu James

The stunningly gorgeous Lulu James graced the stage at Gov Ball with Gorgon City earlier in June. Apart from being an absolutely incredible and lively performer, James has a truly beautiful voice that permeated every inch of the venue. Her ability to dance and jump around stage in 6 inch heels and her impressive high…

Track Review: “Honeymoon” – Lana Del Rey

The queen of flower crowns and sultry perfection is at it again, enticing fans with her upcoming fourth album Honeymoon. Earlier today, Lana released her track "Honeymoon" from the impending album, and what can I say? She simply has one of the most enchanting voices capable of uttering the most soothingly enigmatic songs I've heard in my lifetime.…
