New Video: Big Bill – “Forget About Monday”
It is easy to miss the mark when trying to explain a sound rough enough around the edges to keep the freaks lined up in front of the stage with subtle popish magic reminding everyone in the room to not take themselves so seriously as to miss a glorious chance at letting our shaggy hair catch wind. Big Bill's video for "Forget About Monday" does them justice.

Photography/Review: Sigur Rós at Moody Theater by Mike Manewitz
Words & Photography: Mike Manewitz ( Instagram ) Since their 1994 inception in Reykjavík, Iceland, Sigur Rós’ strength has been bringing tangibility to the ineffable. A deeply emotional band, they take hold in an unusually wide cross-section of people, from metalheads and record nerds to children and retirees. Out of their lurching guitars, angelic vocals, impenetrable lyrics and cathartic crescendos comes a deep sense of serenity and hope. The ability the band have to stun their audiences into euphoria was leveraged to full effect during their sold out two-night run at Austin’s Moody Theater, often bringing songs down to whisper-level before opening up the floodgates of light and…
SXSW Film Review: Flesh and Blood
SXSW Film Review: Flesh and Blood by Trish Connelly Mark Webber’s Flesh and Blood interweaves both fictional and documentary-style elements throughout the course of his film, succeeding in both an incredibly personal and incredibly political story. Casting his own mother, Cheri Honkala, and his younger step-brother, Guillero Santos, Mark returns home to his family from years in prison only to find Pittsburgh has changed very little since he last left it. An advocator for those in the city’s marginal communities, Honkala casts dignity on individuals that are struggling to stay out of prison as well as confronting ongoing battles with substance abuse (Honkala also ran for vice president in…

Mixtape Monday: Recovery 001
After spending an entire weekend at the Day For Night Festival in Houston, TX, I have come to realize that I have just witnessed one of the best festivals in pretty much the history of festivals. Currently working in the art industry, I find myself attracted to not only having a musical experience, but also a visual experience. And I’m not talking about the type of stuff you JUST look at on stage. Day For Night was a festival and space dedicated toward showcasing incredible artists and visionaries within the newly abandoned postal service building on 401 Franklin St. Before revealing any details, sit back and enjoy a weekend recovery playlist while…
Chelsea Wolfe Takeover!
Photo by Nico Turner With musical talent running in her blood, Chelsea Wolfe continues to push the boundaries of rigid genres to craft something entirely personal and genuine. Growing up in California with musically-inclined parents, Wolfe composed her first series of songs on her mother’s classical guitar and immersed herself in her father’s studio, never one to restrict herself to a preconceived aural box or perfectly tuned track. The singer-songwriter maintains a close affinity for R&B, rock, and country music, citing Joni Mitchell, Johnny Cash and Aaliyah as some of her stronger influences. With the encouragement of her friends, Wolfe continued to pursue music and recording in her 20’s,…

An Interview with Tears Run Rings
Website || Facebook || Twitter Six years in the making, Tears Run Rings‘ highly anticipated full length album In Surges was released last Friday via Deep Space Recordings. Despite the quartet living in three separate cities, the band used the powers of online collaboration to mix and record In Surges’ ten tracks in separate studios while occasionally flying to record together in the same physical space. In keeping with their standing ethereal quality, Tears Run Rings sonic soundscapes cascade with impressive cacophonous reverb dispersed with moments of fragile, dreamier tranquility. Laura Watling and Matthew Bice’s vocals especially stand out as vibrant, shifting between background ominous tones and beautifully striking…

Music Video Premiere: Zachman’s “Your World Cuts Into Mine”
Photo by Roger Ho With a meticulous eye for creativity, Austin’s psychedelic/rock band Zachman has forged a musical project both personal and accessible. Already garnering attention from the likes of BrooklynVegan, Ovrld and Do512, Zachman is composed of a written and aural storyline by Johnny Zachman entitled I Was Getting On a Plane. With a multitude of chapters and a plethora of songs underway, each piece remains a distinct vignette. Zachman’s new music were recorded directly to tape at The Bell Tree Studio with Gary Calhoun James (Box of Baby Birds, Rain Collectors) — and the band has celebrated their releases at renowned venues in Austin such as The…
Schwein! An Interview and Single Release
Schwein! Interview and “Cindy Make Him” Single Release Interview by Jay Armstrong Photographs by Isaiah Mancha More often than not the people you encounter with music have an ego overshadowing their skill, the art taking a backseat to the caricature they align their lives to portray. Then there is the anomaly that is Matt Schwein—all substance, no ego, a dedication to his craft unparalleled, all with a positive heart of gold and an always friendly disposition. Both of us arriving in Austin within months of each other and having taken notice early on how both our paths crossed and mirrored the other rather similarly with our assimilation and ever…

Seed In My Ear: Holy Wave Tour Documentary from Backdive
Combining their love of music and film, Rachel Kichler and Willi Patton created Backdive as a platform to showcase their collaborative documentary work. Inspired by Fugazi’s film The Instrument, Kichler and Patton wanted to encompass ATX-based band Holy Wave’s spirit for living in the moment rather than a perspective of the past. Initially the duo anticipated the band to take the footage for their short documentary, Seed In My Ear, while on the road and later Kichler and Patton would work on editing the film, but instead Backdive decided to embark on tour to Europe and eventually the west coast with the band. What became a last minute road…
Jazz in the Spotlight with Brooklyn’s A Tree Grows
Photo by Amber Gress One of the most fascinating things about music as an artform is its ability to touch and inspire the soul of so many that it can unite a community around it. It is the hearth of a community, so to speak, giving hope and reflection in a society cluttered with noise and information overload. Just like the Brooklyn rock explosion that occurred several years ago, jazz in this legendary corner of NYC has been undergoing a renaissance. With Manhattan being overly expensive these days and artists finding it harder to find gigs there, Brooklyn has come to play a vital role in the city’s larger…

Suddenly I was in my 30’s, and I hadn’t done ‘Cop Out,’ and I was like, ‘Oh, this is awesome.’ And then another 10 years dropped off, and I was in my 20’s making all those movies people like, referencing ‘Star Wars’ like crazy and stuff. And then another step up the ramp, and I was in my 10s and lower, when I fell in love with…
Where Are Your Friends: BUHU’s “Youth Is Breaking” Music Video
Bandcamp || Facebook || Instagram || Twitter Growing up and merging into adulthood can take on a vast array of forms, which tends to reach a breaking point when we cling onto the last fraying threads of excess and self-indulgence for as long as we can rather than maturing and taking responsibility for our actions and their consequences. Austin, Texas’ art-rock band Buhu sifts through the haze and the bullshit with their new music video for “Youth is Breaking” off their 2016 album, Relationshapes. Their latest single poses complexities to each individual depicted in the video, not content with displaying to their audience a simple black and white presentation,…

Romance in the 21st Century: An Interview with Mannequin Pussy
Photo by Scott Troya While many of us may never be able to quite articulate the vast nature and force of relationships, Philadelphia based punk band Mannequin Pussy succeed in encompassing the full spectrum of emotions that human connections draw forth within us in their fittingly-titled album, Romantic. With each song ringing in at under three minutes, Romantic is simultaneously jarring, introspective, and playful. Growing from a two-piece to a quartet, the band broaches perspectives in their songs that aren’t simply summed up in a black and white manner; with title tracks like “Everything” and “Anything” Mannequin Pussy aims to explore the ambiguous and intangible without being tightly constrained in…

Mixtape Monday: Team Love Records Takeover
Embracing a carefully crafted roster of acts, Team Love Records remains continuously passionate for showcasing groundbreaking musicians and carving a physical space for music and art in an increasingly cyber world. Founded by Nate Krenkel and Conor Oberst in 2003, Team Love Records has since expanded into a tightly knit crew including staff members Rebecca, Matt and Autumn. The record label’s formation was ignited by Oberst’s frustrations at not being able to spotlight upcoming talent quickly enough on Saddle Creek Records, where his own Bright Eyes’ albums were released. Team Love’s first release was on June 22nd, 2004 with Tilly and the Wall’s album, Wild Like Children, followed by…
Baby Bangs: Owning Our Baby Hearts
Baby Bangs: Owning Our Baby Hearts By Jay Armstrong A few months back I was in the early stages of piecing together a house show when I received a text from Bryan Roberts (The Dizzease /Booher ) saying there was a newer band out of San Antonio, Baby Bangs, who I should hit up about getting them on the lineup. This is the same guy who turned me on to Junkie and Daikaiju, has a history of playing only in perfect bands, and once spent thirty minutes casually entertaining me with an annotated history of Matthew Melton which forever strengthened an already solid respect I had for Melton—a guy…
Halloween Hauntings: No Men’s “Stay Dumb” Music Video
Ripe for the season, Chicago-based punk band No Men’s music video for their single “Stay Dumb” is a welcome homage to the Italian giallo trash thriller films of the ’70s. Combining elements of excessively fun gore and blood-splatter with a mysterious serial killer that leaves your senses tingling until the very end, No Men succeed in painting a horrifically entertaining story in a terrifically smart and confident manner. With the use of bold reds and lurking shadows, No Men doesn’t shy away from mounting suspense and grisly death scenes. Turning the stereotypical damsel in distress trope on its head, femme-fronted vocalist and drummer Pursley moves with swagger, denying any…

Mikey & the Drags’ Single Premiere: “Be Your Man”
Artwork by ANON Magazine’s Becky Bacsik As much as nostalgic retro throwbacks to 60’s garage rock ‘n’ roll have become a theme, Mikey and the Drags pulls it off in the most sincere and gratifying way. Recording and mixing their last album, Make You Mine, with Steve Christensen, the band infuses garage rock and psychedelic influences with organs and kaleidoscopic and bright visuals, on top of bringing absolute vibrancy to their live shows. Making their mark in the Texas music scene, Mikey and the Drags have played lineups from Houston’s Shakin’ All Over: A 60’s Rock ‘n’ Roll Dance Party to the city’s own psychedelic music fest, End Hip…

PREMIERE: Denmark-British Duo Perpacity Release Arise LP
Today is release day for Perpacity. Yes, that’s Perpacity – not capacity – though they indeed are fully capable in their realm of activity – we call it synthpop and it’s a fine offering insofar as that genre goes. Today we are pleased to present the full album stream of this album. There are just over a dozen tracks here, with the highlights for us being the two lead singles ‘9725’ and ‘Vain in a World’, as well as b-side ‘Eternal feat. Nordik Fire’, a folk-electronica tune sure to please any lovers of Mike Oldfield-tinged Celtic bliss. Vocally Depeche Mode and Erasure, come to mind and sonically overall, Yaz…
Heaven or Hotel Vegas with Death Valley Girls
Death Valley Girls came to fruition in 2013 after frontwoman Bonnie Bloomgarden and guitarist Larry Schemel created their otherworldly vision of surfy doom rock, complete with astral visions that stemmed from Bloomgarden’s prior time spent at a mental institution and reading about alien conspiracy theories. Now a quartet, the band released their sophomore album Glow in the Dark in June of this year and have taken their hometown of Los Angeles by storm. Bloomgarden fervently stands by likens being in a band to being in a gang — “it’s a collective and we are all psychically linked and thus would defend each others’ honor ’til the death,” she states. Death…
Blondi’s Salvation US Tour Documentary
Back on April 28th, Blondi’s Salvation (based in Nantes, France) arrived in Austin, Texas to begin their first US tour with LEVITATION Fest, which earlier that day was sadly canceled. With courage in their hearts and a drive to share music with our country, they pressed on and played many shows around the United States. Accompanied by Axel Vanlerberghe, who documented all of their adventures through photos and video, they captured a very unique glance at the strange American ways of today. Here is a short documentary of the French medieval psychedelic band’s misadventures through the states.

Fantastic Fest’s Fashionista: A Journey Through Addiction and Recovery Inside a Woman’s Psyche
When it comes to films about addiction and recovery, there’s a plethora of titles that explore these themes in terms of drug use and sexuality. Director Simon Rumley examines these topics through a different lens that is universal to all of us — at what point do we separate creating our own individual identity using clothing vs. a full blown addiction to the material? Fashionista analyzes the harrowing journey of April (Amanda Fuller) who runs a vintage clothing store with her partner Eric (Ethan Embry). As distrust and infidelity begin to create an undeniable rift in their relationship, April delves further and further into her (literal) mountains of clothes…

A one man army, We Are Temporary instills a jarring balance between mysterious and murky dark depths and clean-cut clarity. Based in Brooklyn, New York, Mark Roberts combines elements of electronic, dream-pop, minimal techno and goth music to represent his own artistic craft with existential undertones throughout. Drawing comparisons to acts like early Skinny Puppy and Crystal Castles, We Are Temporary released his debut album Crossing Over in February of this year and has since toured Germany where he performed at the Wave Gotik Treffen, an annual festival in Leipzig featuring dark music and arts from around the world. Roberts is preparing for another European tour in January and…

Getting To Know Attic Ted
You might remember 2002 as the year of K-Mart’s bankruptcy, Kelly Clarkson, and My Big Fat Greek Wedding, but for some, 2002 was the year of Attic Ted. Forming in the fall of 2002 in Austin, Texas, this crazy acid trip carnival experience, otherwise known as Attic Ted, has managed to constantly push boundaries and take experimental music to a whole new level without ever once looking back. Despite having rotating musical contributors throughout the years, Attic Ted has remained consistent in their sound and style. Attic Ted is often played as a solo show these days, with technology making band practice basically obsolete. Who is this man behind the mask? None…

A Daydream From Another Planet: River Jones’ Official Music Video For “Pure”
Collaborative chance encounters are always thriving in the city of Austin, Texas. Back in June, River Jones partnered with local indie pop band Tele Novella for a music video shoot they had scheduled and just so happened to meet Lorelei Linklater, director Richard Linklater’s daughter. Both Jones and Linklater spent the day decked out in blue makeup and alien costumes and the two artists stuck up an undeniable friendship. During a road trip to Dallas singing along to Elliott Smith, the duo decided to collaborate on Jones’ music video for “Pure”, a track he had written days before meeting Lorelei. Within a week the video was recorded and features…
Scatter Factory LP Blends Motorik Electronica With Ambient Bliss
When I first heard the name Scatter Factory, the thought that immediately popped into my head is something or someone churning out produce in an uncoordinated not well-thought- out manner. However, the debut album from Scatter Factory (real name Will Foster) is anything but that – it’s calculated, intentional, sincere, and meticulously constructed (like blocks made of different high quality materials). It’s ironic that the lead track from this album should be named ‘Out The Blocks’, but there you have it. Scatter Factory by Scatter Factory Scatter Factory also gives the association of seeds being scattered to the wind. In this case, sonic seeds that have, thanks…

After recording material for their first EP, Black Rainbow, the duo found their third and final member at a local punk show and have since been gaining momentum in their hometown. Kyoto Lo-Fi are no strangers to experimenting with various musical genres and influences since their inception in November 2015. “Black Candles” opens their album with a nostalgic throwback to 90’s alt-rock a la Marcy Playground, embedded with a more current psychedelia throughout.
