Photos by Isabella Appell Last Thursday, the historic Belasco in Los Angeles transformed into a swirling vortex of kaleidoscopic sound and light as Pond, the Australian psychedelic rock powerhouse, took the stage. Known for their eclectic blend of glam rock, funk, and cosmic psychedelia, Pond delivered a performance that was nothing short of mesmerising, reaffirming…
I exited the House of Blues with the memory of my horrendous commute veritably wiped. In its place was a lingering contentment I could feel pulling my lips almost unconsciously into a slight smile; on my mind was the complete and total satisfaction Joyce Manor, Algernon Cadwallader and Toys That Kill had birthed. The bands were perfect, the crowd was a picture of total engagement, leaving absolutely nothing to be desired. I can always identify a great show by the artist’s level of disruption into my listening habits in the subsequent days after the show; safe to say Joyce Manor left their mark.

The project, created in 2012, has taken on many forms: hardcore, electronic, breakcore, and more. Throughout the interview, we banter with Matt about…
Photos by Chloe Gonzales ————– From mosh pits to slow ballads, Current Joys knows how to get a crowd going. Indie artist Nick Rattigan filled the seats of the Bellwether for a night of nostalgia. The band’s inception being a mysterious solo project, Rattigan remains an enigma on how he got his story. There’s no…

As I walked down LA Live, the streets were flooded with lines, merchandise vendors, food vendors and a lot of security. Initially I had thought to myself, “Perhaps there’s a concert at the crypto arena tonight.” But in reality the line, filled with fans and latino news channels, was for the Novo theater. As you…
It being my first show ever at the Pomona Fox Theater, I arrived 2 hours early since I didn’t know what to expect. As I walked towards the theater, you could see a huge line of people that wrapped around the entire block and it consisted of Dannylux fans who had posters, custom merchandise, and…
Entering Rosarito you could feel the Mexican beach weather, see the large crowds of people walking towards the beach and of course you could hear reggaeton beats playing from blocks away. It’s the best time of the year for all Latin music lovers as Baja Beach Fest is once again hosting their world famous Reggaeton…
After the first night that was filled with great music, dancing, singing, and the beautiful beach weather till 2 AM you’d expect everyone to be tired but it was the complete opposite. Fans were literally outside the gates waiting for doors to open so they could sprint across the beach as they were ready for…
