Returning to Lubbock for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic took over, Whiskey Myers tried their absolute hardest to burn the Buddy Holly Hall down over the course of their two-hour set. One of my classes this semester is News Writing and in that class, I’ve been told many many times that one of […]
Album Review: “Barbara” by Barrie
April 10, 2022 by Leave a Comment
Originally starting out as a 5-piece band and slowly transitioning to a one-woman show, Barrie has been on the scene for a few years now and knows a thing or two about change. This new album “Barbara,” written almost entirely by Barrie Lindsay alone, is filled with ideas of change, growth, and grief, all wrapped […]
Album Review – The Jacket – Widowspeak
April 5, 2022 by Leave a Comment
If there is one thing I am going to take away from this album, it’s the guitar. That’s it, that was the best part of this album. Not that the album was bad, it was that the guitar was just that good. Throughout the album, the songs started to sound a bit similar, but then […]

April 3, 2022 by Leave a Comment
One of indie pop’s brightest stars, Rex Orange County has gone from a cult favorite to now one of the genre’s biggest names. I remember the first time I heard him. It was over the summer a few years ago and while on the ride home, the song Loving is Easy came on the AltNation […]
Album Review: “You, Yeah You” by Tre Burt
March 29, 2022 by Leave a Comment
by Libby Veatch The first thing I will say about this album is that it is an absolute joy to listen to. To me, it feels like summer afternoons walking around with friends, enjoying the fresh air, and popping into your favorite vinyl store. The modernized Bob Dylan sound combined with a bit of indie […]
Album Review: “Paint By Numbers” by Goon
March 27, 2022 by Leave a Comment
Goon has come into their own with their newest EP, Paint By Numbers, Vol 1. The band has come to indie prominence for their infectious melodies and sassy beats, and this EP has all of that and more stuffed into a bite sized, 5 track package. For a very indie album, the attention that can […]
