Situated conveniently on the I-25 corridor, it is simultaneously too far from anything cool and perfectly located between many awesome things to do.Jed Murphy · Jun 6, 2016MusicAlbum Review: Bishop Nehru – MAGIC:19Rapper Bishop Nehru is not a bishop and his last name isn’t Nehru— it’s Scott—but the New York native is making some of the most authentic hip-hop out there.Kyle Eustice · May 16, 2016MusicAlbum Review: Jimkata – In MotionAs far as synth bands go, the three-piece Jimkata from Ithaca, New York is not here to fit in any EDM or electro indie pop box that so many modern bands find themselves in.Jed Murphy · Apr 18, 2016MusicAlbum Review: T.V. Girl – Who Really CaresUpon first listen, the lush layers, hushed vocals, and bedroom style production put you into a dreamlike haze that makes you want to dance your way down to the beach on a summer afternoon. Petering’s soft spoken vocals perfectly compliment his production, and can be compared to the likes of Toro y Moi, The Books, or Washed Out.Noel Billups · Apr 11, 2016MusicEP Review: Montoneros – Heat HorseThe latest offering from Montoneros, Heat Horse, is an exciting release which goes on a journey through many different and incredible musical elements. Recorded in Black and Bluhm Studios with Chris Fogel, the group was astonishingly able to record the entire EP in a single day. Don’t let this fast paced studio venture fool you; this EP is well thought out and the musicianship in these songs is undeniable.Zach Shepherd · Apr 11, 2016MusicAlbum Review: Grace Kuch – Self-Titled DebutWhile BandWagon covers any and all music thrown our way, we have never heard any work from a child artist up until now.Jay Wallace · Apr 11, 2016MusicAlbum Review: St. Lucia– MatterSynth-pop band St. Lucia, created in 2012 by South African native, Jean-Philip Grobler, have just released their second studio LP, Matter.Jaida Gibson · Mar 21, 2016MusicAlbum Review: Grizfolk– Waking Up The GiantsGrizfolk, a five piece indie rock band that hails from Los Angeles have just released their highly anticipated debut album, Waking Up The Giants via Virgin Records.Jaida Gibson · Feb 23, 2016MusicAlbum Review: Panic! At The Disco, Death of A BachelorThe goal of Death Of A Bachelor is trying to express a celebration of life changes, which the lyrics succesfully show, but the ever-eccentric, power pop duo (including Dallon Weekes) sees Urie’s powerful voice wielded like a hammer, sometimes inspiring a mild headache.Jaida Gibson · Feb 8, 2016MusicAlbum Review: Anderson Paak, MalibuEqual parts illustrious and excessive, genuine and humble, Malibu builds on the boozy charm of Paak’s debut, Venice, doubling down on atmosphere and lush, live instrumentation.Clark Lamson · Feb 3, 2016MusicAlbum Review: The Symbols – SmileChill. Charismatic. Mellow. Funky. Rocking?Jay Wallace · Feb 1, 2016MusicAlbum Review: Qbala – Battle CriesWhen Fort Collins superstar emcee Kahlie “Qbala” Quinones was 27, she finally had the courage to verbalize she preferred females over males.Kyle Eustice · Jan 5, 2016MusicAlbum Review: Danny Shafer – Weddings, Floods and FuneralsShafer, initially from Chicago, has played over 200 shows a year between his solo gig and the band he’s a part of, The 21st Century, and the polished talent that comes with that level of prolificacy shows itself with Weddings.Jay Wallace · Dec 7, 2015
