Bully Unleash New Rocker (SXSW Artist)

Leave a comment

bullsonparadeLast year, I fawned over the Coathangers; they were the act that I raved to everyone about after SXSW.  But, in prepping for this year’s fest, I’ve been hoping to find a similar act to win my heart…that might just be Bully.  This new single displays the tenacity, with a really raw vocal delivery that’s right up my alley.  One can only hope that this means more new music is to come, but as of now, there’s no word.  Just enjoy this track, and if you’re at SXSW, the band is giving you 7 chances to try and catch them live.

SXSW 2015 Hip-Hop: Rae Sremmurd

Leave a comment

Rae Sremmurd (pronounced RAY SHREM-URD) are two young guys from Tupelo, Mississippi that seemingly came out of nowhere in 2014 with two hit songs (“No Flex Zone” and “No Type”). Rae Sremmurd makes feel good party music and they are clearly having fun doing it. While it seems like Rae Sremmurd might goof around a lot, there is definitely a method to the madness. An interesting side note is that they also have a safe sex party anthem called “Safe Sex and Pay Checks”. Rae Sremmurd has one of the more energetic record and stage presences around. They have already confirmed four shows during SXSW and will most likely be performing more than that.

Spend Friday with Creepoid (SXSW Artist)

Leave a comment

creepzThere are some tunes that you click on and immediately you’re hooked. For me, this new Creepoid had it with that guitar sound; it opens carefully, swirling around your earbuds before bursting forth with a bit more distortion and volume.  Here you’ll find that the vocals fit perfectly into the track, never overstepping the rest of the band, riding out the huge wave of post-rock that the band has set up.  They’ve just signed to Collect Records to release their album Cemetery Highrise Slum; it’ll be  out via the label on June 23rd.

SXSW 2015 Hip-Hop: Freddie Gibbs

Leave a comment

freddie-gibbs-usa-flag-grungecake-thumbnailWhen Freddie Gibbs first gained attention outside of his native Gary, Indiana with his mixtape The Miseducation of Freddie Gibbs, he seemed destined for stardom. Five years, a couple EPs, and an independent album later Gibbs seems to be nowhere near the stardom some expected from him. There’s no doubt that the mainstream music audience noticed him; a member of the 2010 XXL Freshman class, a highly publicized friendship and then falling out with rapper Jeezy. So, why is Gibbs making EPs with lesser known artists like Statik Selektah and Madlib? Why did he only have mostly little known guest rappers on his album? Because he likes his specific brand of music and is clearly only interested in mainstream success if it means not compromising his artistry. Expect an authentic show to compliment his incredible delivery at his SXSW 2015 performance.  Follow the jump for video.
