Photo: Jacob Nicholie Getting older isn’t fun in some regards, especially when you’re around those who seem to get younger every year.

While this year was filled with plenty of names I wasn’t familiar with, the festival itself was far better...

However, the time is finally here. Only a few months after the release of her mixtape, Number 1 Angel, the British musician is set to put on an electrifying performance that shouldn’t be missed. Along with...

Photo: Deanna Orosco If you’re planning to start an indie rock band with pop sensibilities, it’s definitely a road that’s cluttered with bands that have plenty of steam behind them, so you had better stand out. Standing out, however, has never really been a problem for Houston’s Rose Ette. Forming a bit over three years ago, the band that initially felt like a side project has gained...

Photo: Paradigm Agency Well, it’s that time of year again, when downtown becomes the backdrop for FPSF. While the likes of Lorde, Solange, and more will all be in town for the festival, that doesn’t mean that it’s the only game in town. Performances from JMSN, Dressy Bessy, and Deicide will all be here as well while locals like Cool Moon, The Cops and more fill in the gaps. Houston, here’s...

Photo: Pam Ashley In music today there are multiple versions of genres, that the phrase sub-genre doesn’t really apply. With electro pop, or shoegaze, or even singer songwriter genres, you can think of artists almost immediately. With an artist like Kay Weathers, there’s pretty no way to put your finger on what sound she could be categorized with. Mixing elements of electro pop...

Photo: Jay Tovar In Houston, there are more than enough bands that grind hard enough to take their music to greater heights and larger audiences. There are many models that acts seem to follow, but for the longest time, it’s felt like there were some that really were in it for the long haul. Houston’s Deep Cuts has been grinding hard since their inception, while growing as...

Photo: Allison McPhail A couple of years ago while record shopping I stumbled across a double vinyl record from a band called The Wheel Workers, and the fact that it was ever released was one factor that intrigued me. To date, I don’t know any other unsigned or local bands that would release a double album, nor do I know of any who’d have it pressed to colored vinyl...

Photo: JoAnn Alvarez The world of electronica is pretty stacked nowadays, making the route to getting noticed more and more about what you do on stage, it seems. For Houston’s Camera Cult, they pretty much just throw a party every time they perform and the room just gets down to their danceable jams. With two solid singles on vinyl under their belt and more on the way, the three-piece...

Photo: DO Photography Back in the Summer of 2024 when Houston’s New York City Queens played the Neptune stage at FPSF, they seemed to really glimmer in the haze of dusk amongst the freeway signage for the I-45 exits.  It only seemed fitting that the band would return to the festival stages of Untapped Fest last year to showcase their reign as one of the best indie rock bands...
