Puff Daddy's WWE 2K17 Soundtrack Is Surprisingly Strong
The Bad Boy Family Reunion Tour is coming to Houston's Toyota Center on September 15, but you won't have to wait to party with Puff Daddy if you've pre-ordered your copy of the new WWE video game, WWE 2K17. The game's soundtrack is curated by the artist formerly known as... → Read More
How Drake Became Pop's True Teflon Don
It probably won't go down as particularly significant in the lore of rap beefs, but this past week's feud between Drake and Hot 97 DJ Funkmaster Flex has raised some striking facts about the superstar rapper. After bearing the brunt of repeated disses by Flex in the last year, Drake... → Read More
Gucci Mane Vaults From Federal Prison to Rap's A-List
It's an unprecedented time in American history. Yes, readers, we are charging headlong into a new frontier. I'm not talking about the presidential election or what lies ahead with all that mess. I'm talking about rap. And no, I'm not talking about Drake claiming his throne with Views or Kanye... → Read More
The Weirdest Michael Jackson Diss Song You'll Hear This Year
Sun Kil Moon's Mark Kozelek is a divisive figure in the indie-rock community, and his latest effort surely isn't going to do anything to remedy that. I've previously written here about Kozelek's antics during his bizarre feud with the band the War on Drugs back in 2014. It seemed then... → Read More
Make This a Metalcore Weekend
If you're looking for something to do in Houston this weekend, why not step into a time machine? What's that, you say? Time machines don't exist? Lies. Two, in fact, have pulled up to Houston's beloved music venues Scout Bar and Walters, and are operating exclusively tonight and Sunday night... → Read More
10 More Albums We'd Like to See Played Live
These days it seems like the biggest attraction in live music is the opportunity to hear our favorite bands perform entire classic albums live. In the last ten years or so, almost everyone has jumped on that bandwagon. Just recently, Houston got to see Underoath play all of They're Only... → Read More
Underoath Adds an Exclamation Point to Their Legacy
It's only been a few years since Underoath originally embarked on their farewell tour, and presumably played their last shows ever. It's been a bit longer since last remaining founding member drummer Aaron Gillespie departed the band in 2010, which means fans have waited six years to see the band... → Read More
Slaves' Jonny Craig Has His Issues, But His Band Is Still Great
Jonny Craig is one of the most important singers of my generation. He is also a massive douchebag. Reconciling those two facts is difficult for the best of us, but I've learned to love him, warts and all. His new band, Slaves, represents some of his best work yet, and... → Read More
Sumerian Records Is Throwing an Epic 10th-Anniversary Tour
This year marks the tenth anniversary of metal label Sumerian Records, which is celebrating by having a hell of a bash. The record label, notable for bringing us progressive and technical metal luminaries throughout the last decade, was founded by Ash Avildsen, already known for his work as a booking... → Read More
Kanye West Has Changed the Album-Release Process Forever
It's hard to call Kanye West a genius these days. He says it enough himself for all of us, and who wants to feed his ego by admitting that he's right? Nevertheless, the Chicago kid has grown up to be almost as great as he says he is. Through charting... → Read More
Atmosphere's Quiet Case for Hip-Hop Legend Status
It can be said that hip-hop is one of the “youngest” genres of music in existence. The landscape changes constantly. Every hit is a sign of what's to come, and a death knell for a previous movement. This preoccupation with “what's next” has killed many a career. Hip-hop might have... → Read More
The Best David Bowie Tribute So Far
Ever since the passing of musical icon David Bowie, a torrent of tributes has poured out from every corner of the world. Some have been absolutely horrible, some incredibly touching, but none have been as innovative and creative as the man himself. Now, we finally have the one that reaches... → Read More
Is It Still Worth it to See Megadeth Live?
In this day and age, it's getting harder and harder to keep up with all the great shows coming through town. Even guys like me whose bread and butter it is to keep up have trouble with it. Bands make most of their money off touring now, so it's much... → Read More
Music's Hilarious Influence on the 2016 Presidential Campaign
Anyone following either the Republican or Democratic primaries this year has been treated to one of the funniest circus acts we've had in American politics in a long time. While candidates on both sides could either be seen as incredibly scary or as total jokes, depending on your personal views,... → Read More
A Second Chance for Hardcore Legends Integrity
Integrity has long been a major influence on hardcore and metalcore, and they'll finally be getting their due with newly available versions of their cla... → Read More
Take a Look at Phil Collins All Over Again
Last year, Phil Collins officially announced he was coming out of retirement after a lengthy hiatus from both recording and touring. Ostensibly, his retirement was spurred by a desire to see his children more, and his un-retirement was inspired by their coming of age and wanting to see him perform... → Read More
The Best Album of 2015 By a Non-Musician (Or Funniest, at Least)
You may not know who Jon Benjamin is, but you definitely know his voice. One of the most famous voice actors in the business today, Benjamin's vocal range isn't that of a Billy West, but his distinctive deadpan is so hilarious that he'll probably be able to coast on it... → Read More
Why Do We Love Sad Songs So Much?
“Sad songs are nature's onions.” This silly quote from Mr. Show with Bob and David doesn't mean much on the surface, but the general joke of the sketch (among others) is that every song nominated for the fictional "Teardrop Awards" is a sad, sad song that appeals to listeners with... → Read More
David Bowie, Newcomer Leonard Set Optimistic Tone For 2016
Innovation always comes from the most unexpected sources. No one who sets out to innovate or create a new vision generally succeeds. It's mainly when an artist is inspired purely by their own ingenuity that they create something visionary. Two amazing recently released singles have set the tone for what... → Read More
