Music is alive in Miami

In a city where you would think that there would be a thriving music scene, you find yourself wondering what exactly happened for it to be so dead. Maybe our city is just too spread out with suburbs and corporate companies taking over. Gentrification is becoming more apparent and you find yourself partying in a hotel rather than a homegrown establishment. This past Saturday I found myself back in…

Starting today, I will randomly choose one day a week to post 2 current tracks/videos I’m currently into. DAILY DOSE – May 13, 2016 —– Radiohead – “Daydreaming” Radiohead recently released their newest album “A Moon Shaped Pool” just a couple days ago on May 8th, 2016. To listen to the entirety of this album is to dive headfirst…

LEVITATION FEST APRIL 29 – MAY 1

Pretty stoked for what may be one of the most memorable psych-rock festivals in North America. Reverberation Appreciation Society has founded the fest in 2008, leading to nine consecutive years of great production, each year getting better and better. With that being said, Levitation Fest has an eclectic combination of great artists this year. Some favorites whom we are looking forward to seeing…

The Filthy Casuals Q & A …………………………………….. 1) What’s behind the name The Filthy Casuals? Are you just casually filthy? …………………………………….. Its kind of a funny story.

Big Eyes Crossed the Country in the Name of Punk Rock: Interview with Kait Elderidge

Big Eyes has set their sights on taking over DIY punk from coast to coast. Kait Eldridge, the founding member, started the band in New York in 2009. Since then, she has moved to the west coast and taken up residence in Seattle. With the amount of touring that’s done, it seems like her permanent residence is various hotel rooms, however. This month, Big Eyes has evaded the northern blizzard and…

SunGhosts & 198X climaxed in JAX

So with setting a show up in Jacksonville, about 5-6 hours away – that came with a load of fun times, laughs, and rock n’ roll goodness. I rode with 198X on the way there from Miami, while Badwolf took a seat on the SunGhosts express with Crocodile and the crew. As it was only 198X’s second show, going up to Jacksonville was something to think about. No one thought twice and everyone just went…

Welcome to Worm City: An Interview with Shane McCord from Sun Club

It’s strange to be making waves in the tropical indie rock world when you’re from Baltimore. But that has been the case for the Maryland boys in Sun Club, whose full length album, the Dongo Durango, is one of the underground favorites of 2015 (it was featured on our list!). Currently on tour in Europe alongside Hinds, Public Access TV and Tall Juan, we got a chance to speak to Shane McCord, who…

Mantra Love is Bringin Texas Psych and Reverb to South Florida (Interview)

Coming to multiple South Florida venues near you-including Churchill’s Pub, The Granary and Jump the Shark-is Mantra Love. Originally from Houston, TX, this three piece consists of brothers Derek and Fabian Silva and Cody Boyer. Drawing influence from the nearby notorious psych scene of Austin, they sound as if the Strokes did acid and listened to Tame Impala and wrote their new album. This past…

Returning to Palette Town: Interview with Kendall’s Comeback Kids

Although Miami is erupting with bands now, few of them can say that have been together for five years. One that can say that is Palette Town’s Kendall’s four piece arcade rock outfit. Even though they have been mostly dormant for the last 9 months-aside from a surprise release back in August of two singles, ‘Just Like I Remember’ and ‘Hunting Trees’-Palette Town still manage to be named the 6th…

Denuding Dénudés: An Interview with MIA’s Garage Noir Punks

If people consider Denudes a side project they are technically not far off. Gigi La Rocca and Nicholas Ochoa are the guitarist and drummer, respectively of Miami’s nationally recognized Plastic Pinks. But since their formation earlier this years, Denudes has left the term side project behind and have taken a life of their own with their fuzzy, grungey garage noir sound. This Saturday, they will…

Miami’s sun dogs, SunGhosts, release ‘Parhelion’

When SunGhosts told me they were naming their long awaited second EP ‘Parhelion’, I immediately turned to Google. When I, or anyone who has done the same since its release this Tuesday, looked it up the first thing that popped up was the definition. A bright spot in the sun. Anyone who has seen a SunGhosts show or heard their music can agree that’s a great description. However, a parhelion is…

HAIR OF THE DOG FEST, THIS SATURDAY!

Showskii Records, a multimedia outlet focusing on the music culture in South Florida is putting together a post New Years event to celebrate the local music community and its future endeavors. Hair of the Dog Fest will be taking place this Saturday at Churchill’s Pub, located on the brinks of the Wynwood Art District, which is notably one of the best live music venues to be found in South…

So I’m here with one of the members of 198X, his name is Nick Aponte. He’s here to tell me a bit about a new project developing in the heart of Miami. Before that, I wanted to let you guys know about a little somethin somethin. Just yesterday, I attended a private showcase of their set. They told me they’ve never released or shown any material to anyone before, and for that reason I was a bit…

Albums I’m Happy Were Released in 2015

When writing this, I felt the need to make it a point in the name of this article to show it’s completely opinion based rather than a pretentious declaration of the ‘Best of 2015”. My tastes are my tastes, and after reading most Album of the Year articles, those tastes are offended to see a band I deeply care about be snubbed for Miley Cyrus and Her Dead Petz. On the other hand, Kendrick Lamar’s…
