Local Reviews: Still Sea
Local post-punk/hardcore (goddamn, genres are stupid) outfit Still Sea has just released this five-song EP, and it is a delicious foray into stripped-down, raw, time-changey goodness that’s always one step to the left of the line. … read more

Local Reviews: Atheist
I was blown away by this release, straight up. It has everything I love in a hip hop record: rich and dusty beats from classic source material, tight verses by the main emcee and more than a few collaborations. … read more

Tinariwen @ Urban 08.13 with JJUUJJUU
If I had to sum Tinariwen up from witnessing their performance, I would have to say theirs is a sound that describes and complements the word “beauty” perfectly. … read more
