Concert Reviews
Surf Curse @ The Fonda – Los Angeles, CA
It was a sold out show on Friday night at The Fonda for the last stop of Surf Curse’s US tour. The band has developed a feverish following in Los Angeles since releasing their BudsLP in 2013. In the six years since, their songs have evolved from lo-fi garage bangers into a more polished, full sound. Their latest release, Heaven […]
KEY @ Velvet Underground – Toronto, ON, Canada (Support: Swoosh God and Jetset)
Atlanta rapper KEY is one of the biggest influences in the underground trap music scene and has opened a lot of doors for lots of well-known artists such as Playboi Carti, Post Malone, 21 Savage,and much more. His unique sound, his signature flow, and cadence, as well as his nonchalant demeanour and tone, were heavily essential for […]
Lana Del Rey Norman Rockwell Tour @ The Hollywood Bowl – Los Angeles, CA
There’s an argument to be made that Lana Del Rey is one of the biggest stars in music right now. While her name has been well known for quite some time, widespread critical success hasn’t completely followed. Her voice is undeniably gorgeous but her fiercely independent spirit has left the male dominated arena of music criticism often […]

Bad Suns @ Workplay Soundstage – Alabama
Bad Suns took the stage by storm on October 4th in Birmingham, Alabama when they played to a sold out crowd of 450 people. From the small pit that formed on the side to the people on the balcony, they had everyone on their feet and dancing. Bad Suns took the stage by storm on […]
Half Alive @ Webster Hall – New York City, NY
When I first got there, lines were wrapped along the entire block with people 16 years old and above waiting for the concert to start. A groovy Wednesday night at Webster Hall started with Sure Sure, an art-pop band from the Eastside of Los Angeles, California. They started with a live musical combination of voice, guitars, and […]
Illuminati Hotties @ Intersection – Grand Rapids, MI (Support: Potty Mouth)
Punk rock on a Sunday night is the perfect way to end a gloomy day. The rain showers poured up until the doors opened at the Intersection in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The eager PUP fans who lined the building were able to dry off as openers Potty Mouth and illuminati hotties performed. Potty Mouth, a […]
