By Michael Ybarra Music Journalist It turns out there is such a thing as a “healthy habit.” In fact, the folk-pop band Tiny Habits is one such example. After opening for Gracie Abrams on her Good Riddance Tour, the group released their debut EP Tiny Things and began their first solo journey on their very own Tiny Tour. While success has followed them everywhere they have gone, Maya Rae, Cinya […]
By Tyson Taylor Music Journalist Throughout its history, Texas State University has produced elite talent in various fields, from 36th President Lydon B. Johnson to Olympic Gold Medalist Charles Austin. Texas State alumni are leaving the university ambitiously driven and aiming for the stars. However, one field that I feel doesn’t get enough respect within Texas State is the music alumni. There are numerous, very talented artists and bands that […]
Jewel Ogungbamigbe Local Music Journalist I was fortunate enough to see one of my favorite bands ever, Duster, perform this past Thursday through the Oblivion Access Festival which took place at several different venues across Austin, one of them being the Empire Control Room and Garage where said band performed. I had ordered the tickets back in late May with urgency as I was surprised that they were going on […]
Michael Ybarra Music Journalist TW: Discussions of sexual assault In an overcrowded sea of albums, most of which seek to steal five minutes of virality, one can yearn for the truly transformative.

Influenced by writing, he was able to hone his talent at a very young age to focus on what he writes about in his works, making it a standard that poetry is an essential part of his rap technique. Born and raised in McAllen, Texas, he felt lost in […]
Ashley Farnie Music Director The topic of artists shifting genres throughout their musical careers is a polarizing argument. The artist is accused of “abandoning their roots” or becoming molded by the mass media, without their personal autonomy considered. Regardless of the verdict, this recurrent issue questions the validity of our categorization of artists within genres. Should we evaluate each album as independent, taking a sort of new critical literary […]
By Avery Viers Music Journalist With the surplus of *activities* that were available to the residents of San Marcos this past Wednesday, you may have missed some of the live shows planned to celebrate the happy, hazy holiday. With just a $7 cover fee, Lazydaze Coffeeshop hosted their "Lazy 4/20" event in their backyard lounge area, complete with an outdoor stage and other local vendors joining in the celebration. Forming […]
By Sofia Gualy Music Journalist I have been a fan of Hippo Campus since they released their 2015 EP Bashful Creatures which included a few of my favorites such as “Sophie So” and “Suicide Saturday.” Their infectious sound never bores you due to each of their songs being so unique.
