FOXTRAX delivered during the last day of SXSW. It was the Whole Foods show which is one of the best events because there’s food, and it’s all ages so you get a whole different crowd.
James Bradshaw’s Voice Will Give You Chills
James Bradshaw has one of those voices that just sticks with you. His covers have been all over YouTube lately and the way he sings gives me goosebumps. It’s that kind of classic voice that you don’t hear anymore.
Donkeyboy’s Energetic Sound Is Taking Off
If you’ve been paying attention to music trends, you’ll notice how many bands and artists from Scandinavia are breaking into every major playlist. Donkeyboy is a four-piece synthpop band from Norway and their infectious energy and catchy music is making waves in the States.
LEADR Makes The Dreamiest Music
LEADR has the most amazing voice. The first time I heard his music, I wasn’t even sure he was human. Naturally, I knew I had to talk to him about his distinct sound.
Flint Eastwood Is In Control Of Her Art
I didn’t really know what to expect when I arrived at Flint Eastwood’s set during SXSW. It was the hottest day of the week and she appeared in long braids and overalls. I had listened to her songs “Queen” and “Push” nonstop when they came out. She defines herself as a pop singer, but the genre doesn’t do her justice because it’s pop music with bite, it’s got teeth.
HRVY Wants To Talk To Ya
HRVY has that classic pop sound that I love, but there’s something about his music that is just different than what I’ve heard before. Between relatable lyrics and ridiculously catchy choruses, I can just picture what the energy of a HRVY show is like – and it’s a show I’m trying to be at.
Howlin’ for Naomi Wild’s Newest Single
You’ve probably heard Naomi’s work as she’s behind Odesza’s, “Higher Ground.” Her voice is so intoxicating and you can hear it for yourself behind her single that dropped last friday. “Howlin’” is that perfect song for when you are just addicted to that person you’re seeing and you can’t wait to see them again. I got to talk to Naomi behind her latest single and her plans for the year.
You Won’t Be Able To Quit Sophia Scott
Sophia Scott has the perfect mix of Southern sass and twang and this shows in her newest single, “Quit.” She’s been linked to various genres, but I think after you take a listen to her music, you’ll realize she doesn’t fit a specific mold. I was able to talk to her about the premiere of “Quit” and what else she has planned for the year.
Lauren Ruth Ward’s Hypnotizing Music Will Have You Hooked
The first time I saw Lauren Ruth Ward perform I couldn’t take my eyes off her, she commands the attention of the entire audience. She has this insane energy and the way she sings and moves on stage it’s like the music is just flowing through her and it washes over the audience captivating them. Her soulful vocals, unapologetic lyrics, and the way she performs like she’s exorcising demons from her own mind make her the rockstar we’ve desperately needed.
Gothic Tropic’s Lush 70’s Sound Is Mesmerizing
Gothic Tropic is the creation of Cecilia Della Peruti. The multi-instrumentalist that has created a lush 70’s inspired soundscapes that focus on her effortless guitar skills and dreamy voice. Her debut album Fast of Feast is the perfect example of how she blends pop and psychedelic. We caught up with her right after an electrifying set during SXSW.
