We're back, baby! It's been a little over a month since our last article, and we've been using that downtime to compile a massive list of bands from the Richmond underground. Valentine's Day is just around the corner, and I'm here to offer you a fine assortment of...
Growing up in the technology age, the principle that "the medium is the message" still applies greatly. It seems as though almost anyone can record a song, put it online, and build some promotion, with the hopes that their message gets across to as many listeners as possible. However, Rebelution has gone with a more traditional approach. Their...
Canary Oh Canary have patiently and deliberately crafted a sound that has been described in several ways. One description that has been applied to them is the term “shoewave,” a hybrid genre which combines the genres of new wave and shoegaze.

Unfortunately, the sound really didn’t allow for Ohbliv to do his thing, but Luggage went in backed by DJ Josh P. It was my first time seeing Luggage live and though the crowd was small, it was truly the place to be Friday night. Sometime a...
I’m going to do you all a favor. I’m not going to rant about how out of control Christmas shopping has become, even if you’re not in the West End at noon on a Saturday. I’m not going to preach about how out of touch everybody seems to be with the true essence of the holiday, even though I’m not especially religious myself. I’m not even going to...
