fightmaster in la
E.R. Fightmaster kicked off their All or Nothing Tour with a sold out hometown performance at El Cid in Los Angeles, marking it as the first stop of the tour to sell out. Throughout the night, they balanced the set with fan favorites, newer releases, and first-ever live performances of unreleased songs from their upcoming album, including “Minotaur,” “Glide,” and another song jokingly referred to as “the one for divorcees.” Between songs, Fightmaster admitted they hadn’t prep


jeff draco - a look into excess
A few weeks ago, I sat down (on the internet) with Jeff Draco to discuss the release of his latest album Excess, the modern-age yearning for community, and the worlds largest chest of drawers. Residing in the Washington, DC area since 2018, Jeff has become a staple within the capital's indie-pop music scene. With his unforgettable live performances across the DMV area at iconic venues such as the 9:30 Club, as well as touring cross-country with artists such as The Thing With


clarion in columbus
Recently, our photographer Lennon was able to catch LA-based Clarion in my favorite strangely-shaped state: Ohio! A few words from Lennon below, as well as her beautiful gallery from the show. (I hope you're keeping up with Clarion already, you don't wanna miss their California May shows with Panchiko) "Clarion put on a killer show on at the Rumba Café in Columbus, Ohio this past week! Their energy and passion in playing their songs got the entire crowd jumping, smiling, and


together pangea + the high curbs
Last weekend, I took the massive trip (30 minute drive from my house) down to Baltimore City to see one of my favorite bands ever. I've been catching Together Pangea's headlining shows in the DMV for close to 10 years now, moving from Metro Gallery in 2017 to Baltimore SoundStage in 2026, and everywhere in-between. On a co-headlining tour with The Red Pears and The High Curbs as the show's opener, all three California based bands put on an unforgettable performance. Take a lo

An interview with Joe P
Two weeks ago, I was able to have a chat with songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Joe P from New Jersey. I first saw Joe perform in Fort Lauderdale opening for Joywave and I knew immediately that I would be a fan of his music. Joe just released a new single last week (“She Got Me”) off his upcoming debut album, “Garden State Vampire,” which will be released on August 23 on Neon Gold/Atlantic Records. Joe will also be headlining a North American tour in the fall, beginning i

Get Off My Phone by The Driver Era
Typically coined as an alt-pop duo, The Driver Era’s first offering of the new year “Get Off My Phone” is certainly a call out to the band’s ability to find that perfectly interesting balance of alternative and pop through the use of personal lyricism, gritty vocals, and a chorus that bounces with energy. The track’s introduction is steady and serene with smooth isolated vocals accompanied by simple, rhythmic guitar chords. Traction is soon swiftly gained as the song begins t
