I have NEVER been to Float Fest, such a shame. Their lineups have been getting increasingly better every year and despite the heat, I thought I would venture out to see what this fest was all about.
Coast Modern Embark On Their First Headlining Tour
Following the release of their self-titled debut album, we talk with the LA duo known as Coast Modern. Consisting of Luke Atlas and Coleman Trapp, the pair have had quite the up rise since their first live show at SXSW last year. One aspect I personally liked about the guys is their unique approach to social media. It is very clear that Luke and Coleman see the idea of well, being modern. I got the chance to discuss their background, the new album, and space aliens.
Alec Joseph Is Already Missing Summer
Alec Joseph and I spoke immediately after he got out of a songwriting session so of course we had to talk about that. He’s so enthusiastic and tells me about the new songs coming out later this year. He also tells me that none of his writing sessions are the same.
The Accidentals On Their Odyssey
The Accidentals are proof that your high school orchestra friends can lead you to an incredible music career. They’re about to drop their next album Odyssey, a name that alludes the journey they’ve had together as a band and as friends.
New Music Alert: Matt LeGrand’s ‘All Good’ Video
Matt LeGrand is such a sweetheart, he’s been making waves all over the music circuit and after we saw the pool-perfect summer ready vibes of his new music video we were hooked. Check out the video and read our interview.
Your Guide To Float Fest
Float Fest is coming up! The festival that combines everything Texans love, floating down rivers and music is finally upon us. This is such a unique festival just because you have the ability to float the river pre-festing.
FOXTRAX Are Your New Driving Soundtrack
To me, nothing is better than driving with the windows down playing some feel-good music, and FOXTRAX is the perfect artist to supplement this. The trio is comprised of Ben Schneid (guitar, keys, and vocals), Jon Stenz (drums and percussion), and Jared Stenz (bass.)
LANY’s Debut Album Is Sheer Perfection
Sam: I have to credit my two friends, Wade and Trey, for convincing me to listen to Los Angeles-based trio, LANY. LANY’s songs are exactly what you would imagine California is like. No matter where you see them perform, you’re instantly transported to the west coast. My first LANY experience was intimate, lustful, and just real. Paul Klein’s presence, with Jake Goss drumming and Les Priest providing synth beats, created one of the most personable performances I’ve witnessed. Not to mention each lyric that echoes from Paul is ridiculously relatable.
Bay Ledges Shimmery Summer Sound Is Exactly What You Need
Imagine a beautiful sunny day with palm trees and shimmering pools but almost overlapped with neon. That’s how Bay Ledges sound to me. It’s summery folk with hints of glitchy guitars and electronic undertones. Bay Ledges all started when Zach Hurd first moved to Los Angeles, he was living with his sister Georgia.
Barns Courtney Is On Fire
Barns has such a distinctive voice and his songs will get trapped in your mind. We were so excited to catch up with the up-and-coming rock babe at Hangout Fest this year, especially since he had quite the interesting show. He ended up stripping down to his boxers during his set.
