Agnes Azria loved to sing when she was young and started voice lessons when she was only eight. “I couldn’t go to sleep unless I was sung to, or there was some noise around me,” she muses. “At 12 I started playing guitar so I would write songs. Then I went to Berklee College of Music when I was 19. Now I’m playing in an incredible band, and then we’re gigging around Los Angeles.”
If you think ROZES is just the girl synonymous with The Chainsmokers’ song Roses you’re missing out. At 24, ROZES has written music for nearly everyone, she has credits for Cheat Codes, Louis Tomlinson, Sophie Beem, and countless others. Her song Famous has over 893k streams and she’s worked with almost everyone in the music industry. Her voice is hauntings and her lyrics are emotional and heartfelt.
It’s hard to put folk and powerful in the same genre, but Animal Years seems to make that combination happen effortlessly. Their new EP Far From Home uses the same kind of style of Lumineers, The Strumbellas, and Brandi Carlile. It’s riddled with hand-claps, catchy choruses, and a driving energy that’s so contagious.

Isabelle is an up-and-comer pushing her way to the front of the crowd. At the end of September she released a music video for her single “Unlabeled”, a body-positive anthem that praises acceptance of all backgrounds and extols the virtues of inner beauty. It’s a song that I wish had come out when I hit puberty. Perhaps then I would have felt more in tune with my plus-size figure and avoided the toxic yo-yo dieting where eating a bag of unsalted popcorn counted as a meal.
Cameron Hardy’s voice is so pure and light that it’s no surprise that his covers are taking over the Internet. Hardy first fell in love with theater at age six, but at age twelve he knew this is what he wanted to do. He started working with his vocal coach, Adriana McPhee to begin his musical career.
For the first 15 minutes of our discussion me and Sarah Castro talked about our difficulties with modern romance. This is just the kind of thing that makes Belcurve a fantastic band, it’s about being relatable. “Men can handle an eighth of the communication that we as women need to communicate and they’re very different,” she laughs.
There are few bands that can instantaneously feel accessible and lush with their soundscape, but Tall Heights delivers in a way that will stop even the most casual of listeners in their tracks. Folk is a genre that some people use only for background music. However, their most recent album Neptune commands attention with the combination of soothing strings, thoughtful lyrics and electronic elements which brings the genre into the twenty-first century.
Buzzing off the success of their singles “XO” and “Talk to Me”, the duo Nightly, has performed at a few shows throughout the country as well as an appearance at Bonnaroo. Jonathan Capecia from the duo took some time to talk to us about their tour and new plans.
