MusicAlbum Review: III— iZACILLiEncajando en la escena de “Rock En Tu Idioma”, Izcalli significa renacimiento, y es la tierra natal de los hermanos Avina.Irma Sandoval · Oct 5, 2015MusicTop Tunes Thursday: Big Grams — Self TitledI’d like to see the “to do list” for this record. It must read something like: “1. Make awesome music. 2. See #1.” Yes, it’s simple, but it’s simply fun. If Big Grams set out to make music to dance/copulate to, I think they hit the nail on the head. Phantogram released their most recent record last year, and the last time OutKast put out new music, I was a Junior in highschool. (Wow, I’m old.) While there doesn’t appear to be any tour dates in Big Grams’ future, I guess you’ll just have to settle for playing this record on repeat.Clark Lamson · Oct 1, 2015MusicTop Tunes Thursday: Little Simz — A Curious Tale of Trials + PersonsImagine you know someone who wants to be a world renowned rapper.Clark Lamson · Sep 24, 2015MusicZZ Top with Ben Pu and Crew and Primary PeopleZZ Top with Ben Pu and Crew and Primary People at Thunder Mountain Amphitheater in LovelandDylan Adams · Sep 21, 2015MusicTop Tunes Thursday: Beirut — No No NoWhen I find a new artist (whether it be a new single, a new album, or by recommendation) if I can, I like to start at the beginning of their discography.Clark Lamson · Sep 17, 2015MusicTop Tunes Thursday: Travis $cott — RodeoWhen your first public appearance has you labeled as a protege of Kanye West, it’s safe to say you travel with heavy expectations on your shoulders. When Travi$ Scott was revealed as one of the top producer’s behind West’s blistering thrash-rap opus, Yeezus, the countdown to his solo album began. While his debut EP Owl Pharaoh failed to impress, his follow-up Days Before Rodeo did much to increase the appetites of Scott’s swelling fanbase. Now, two plus years after the source of his fame, Travi$ Scott has released his highly anticipated solo record, Rodeo. Without giving too much away, it lives up to the name.Clark Lamson · Sep 10, 2015MusicAlbum Review: The Cairn Project’s Self-Titled Debut AlbumLocal Greeley group who call themselves The Cairn Project created their self-titled debut album “to serve as a marker in their own musical journey.” Started by drummer Brian…Jay Wallace · Sep 3, 2015FeaturesIt’s Going Down: ¡Mayday!

Your bones are creaky, your vision foggy. You might be hungry, and you almost definitely have to pee. The whole thing just feels like a hassle. For most of my life, I was one of these people. I don’t know, maybe it comes with age or something, but now some of my earliest moments of the day end up being some of my favorite moments. The sun’s barely awake, and already, people all across the newly glowing portion of the country are getting up to start their day, just like you. That thought and a cup of coffee often gets my days started fairly well. This quiet meditation, and the feelings that surround it, are the thesis of the new Teen Daze record, Morning World. This is Teen Daze’s (who goes by the monomous “Jamison” in professional life) first full length release since 2012’s Glacier.Clark Lamson · Aug 20, 2015MusicAlbum Review: Forty Fathoms— More To HateWriting and recording a pinnacle metal album is not simple. The process often takes the cooperative effort of three to five smelly dudes who spend every waking moment together arguing over who drank the last beer and why musicians shouldn’t attach their ego to the parts they contribute. After they’re nice and pissed off, the riffs and melodies begin to flow. Denver metal band Forty Fathoms are a relentless metal collaboration who’s EP, More to Hate, designates Colorado a place at the forefront of influential rock music.Stefan Lopez · Aug 18, 2015MusicAlbum Review: Another One— Mac DemarcoIf I were to list some of Mac Demarco’s exploits (outside of his three fantastic LP’s) you might think I was talking about one of the members of Odd Future.Clark Lamson · Aug 14, 2015MusicTop Tunes Thursday: Ultimate Painting —Green LanesFormerly of the bands Mazes and Veronica Falls, respectively, the gentlemen became fast friends when their bands went on tour with each other, Mazes opening for VF.

This includes longtime friend and collaborator Benjamin Kaufman, Caleb Hickman (who plays a devilish sax throughout the record), and Yellen’s little brother Abraham, who plays producer on the record. Though the credits on the record reach just over twenty, Yellen credits this small group as the core of the project.Clark Lamson · Aug 10, 2015
