words and photos by Lauren Chenette Waylon Wyatt brought a youthful energy and an easygoing confidence to Higher Ground in South Burlington, turning the room into the kind of space where it felt less like watching a show and more like being part of a shared night out. From the start, Wyatt showed why his music connects so well in a live setting. His songs have plenty of heart on record, but onstage they take on a little more grit and momentum. There was a looseness to the per

words and photos by Lauren Chenette photo by Taylor Chenette There’s something uniquely satisfying about a festival weekend: three days of moving between stages, discovering artists that you didn’t expect to love, catching performances you’ve been looking forward to for ages, and inevitably making a few spontaneous decisions that end up becoming some of your favorite moments. Osheaga once again made a strong case for itself as one of the best music weekends of the summer, wit

words and photos by Ruby Tavano Slayyyter brought her Missouri roots to the Ray Charles Terrace at the GRAMMY Museum on a warm Thursday night in Los Angeles. The highly anticipated event sold out in under a minute when tickets initially went on sale. Fans lined the streets of downtown L.A. with rabbit ears fixed on their heads, cutoff jean shorts, WGIA (WOR$T GIRL IN AMERICA) hats, and full trashy rhinestone Slayyyter attire. The event kicked off with a Q&A moderated by music

words and photos by Lauren Chenette Boston’s Royale was packed with energy last night as Been Stellar and Wunderhorse delivered a show that proved why both bands are among the most exciting names in modern rock. With two standout live acts sharing the bill, it felt less like an opener and a headliner and more like a celebration of where guitar music is headed. Been Stellar kicked off the night with a set full of soaring guitars, explosive dynamics, and the kind of confidence

words and photos by Andrea Garcia There is something unique and special about an acoustic show, something without a full band, a big production or anything distracting, just an artist with guitar and a piano. That's what becomes the center of the evening, right? Just the artist's voices and the stories they are carrying. Well that is exactly what happened on July 18 at Eddie Owen’s present at Red Clay in the heart of Duluth, Georgia. Atlanta native artists Whitney Bjerken, El

This show marked the beginning of Kahan’s tour run of four consecutive sold-out shows at the stadium. To make matters even more dramatic and emotional, it’s a Noah K

by Norah Jerinic-Brodeur Photo by Norah Jerinic-Brodeur If you ask me, I would say that in order to make the most of your time in New York it’s important you embrace saying “yes” to the unexpected opportunities and plans that will inevitably come your way (it’s New York afterall). On June 27th this very situation occurred for me and let me tell you…it was so worth saying “yes”. I had the pleasure of covering North Carolina indie rock band, Harvey Street’s, sold out show at Th

by Andrea Garcia On November 14, 2025, 5 Seconds of Summer released their album “EVERYONE’S A STAR!”, for some reason this such a fitting album name for a band that has grown up in front of our eyes, formed in 2011 by posting cover music videos on YouTube 5sos has established themselves as one the most iconic and recognized “boy bands around the world” (quite literally they win the best boy band award every night since their tour began in March in the UK). There is something

by Lauren Chenette Photo by Lauren Chenette Holly Humberstone kicked off her Cruel World Tour in Boston at Paradise Rock Club on June 3 with the kind of opening-night energy that makes a tour debut feel special. Playing to a packed and eager crowd, the British singer-songwriter delivered a set that balanced emotional vulnerability with infectious confidence, offering an early glimpse of what promises to be a memorable tour. From the moment she stepped onstage, Humberstone ap

words & photos by Sophie Stratford Taking over the Roundhouse theatre in the heart of Camden, London, Erin LeCount is living out her dreams. Having played at the Village Underground just mere minutes away, and to only 90 people at Rae’s just last year, Erin is quickly making her mark on the industry. Queuing halfway down Chalk Farm Road ‘following the white rabbit’, to the Pareidolia pop-up shop, fans line the streets in their white lace clothes emulating Erin herself with n

Just outside the city, on the University of Sussex campus, Liberation Live was starting up for the night.

by Ella McGivern Radiator are exciting. The London 5 piece played their latest headline show at The Victoria, Dalston, last Thursday night and the vibes were electric. With support from The Draize and irisworm, the east London pub had a night full of great crowds and support. I love this venue and even having been here before, I still get excited walking through the bookshelf (yes, an actual bookshelf) to the stage! The show was held following the release week of the band’s n

words and photos by Cherry Mac It’s been said before, and it’ll be said again: MARIS is the next big pop star you should be watching. Currently on her MARIS Goes to College Tour, this pop artist is commanding the room with her incredible stage presence while simultaneously building community with each fan in her audience. Despite the Spring heat, MARIS called for the crowd to come together and join hands with one another before performing “Chameleon”, a song about insecuritie

words and photos by Andrea Garcia On the second Atlanta night of her Hayley Williams at a Bachelorette Party tour, Hayley Williams turned the Tabernacle into an emotional, intimate, and unforgettable space. Though the venue made the night feel deeply personal, Williams performed with the kind of presence that could easily fill an arena. Still, that closeness is what made this show so special. In a room as beloved as the Tabernacle, every lyric and every reaction felt magnifie

words and photos by Andrea Garcia On March 6, 2026, Conan Gray transformed State Farm Arena from an ordinary concert venue into a healing oasis. Opening with the powerhouse that is “My World,” he made it clear from the very beginning that the crowd was in for something special. The energy in the room shifted instantly as fans screamed every lyric back at him, settling into a night that felt equal parts catharsis, spectacle, and singalong. For those unfamiliar with Conan Gray’

by Lauren Chenette On a frigid Burlington night, the air outside Higher Ground felt sharp enough to snap guitar strings. Inside, however, Laundry Day delivered the kind of warmth that only a tightly packed crowd and a band with full command of its momentum can generate. The New York-based four-piece have built their reputation on DIY ethos and genre fluidity, and that elasticity was on full display. From the moment they stepped on stage, Laundry Day treated the room less lik
