On September 4th, 2022, beloved artist and Richmond local Wes Freed passed away from colorectal cancer. In honor of his memory, members of the community who knew and loved him are trying to establish a memorial fund in his name with the goal of giving scholarships to...
Action Bronson - Dr. Lecter (Fine Fabric Delegates) Action Bronson is a fat white dude from Queens who raps about food over funky, loop-driven beats. Upon first listen, Bronson’s high-pitched outer-borough accent and love of dusty samples will have you thinking you’re hearing the best Ghostface record since Fishscale, but the inevitable repeated...

Flechette are one of the best new bands on the Richmond scene. Their energetic post-hardcore attack has attracted a lot of attention in live settings, and their ex-member cred is undeniable, featuring as they do former members of Resonance, Permanent, Memorial, Field Day, The Two Funerals, Tarpit, and 10-33. However, until recently, actual studio...

They were on tour but had no show booked that night, but they showed up at Strange Matter, got themselves added to that evening's bill at the last minute, and proceeded to blow everyone in the place away. Their music mingled the intricate post-hardcore grooves...

They also...
It’s not every day in Richmond that you have so many good things going on in one night… well, yeah it is, but it’s not every day that I make the effort to be at more than one of those goings-on in the same night. Last Saturday night was host to both Marshe Wyche of Rumors Boutique’s own 4th HOUSE OF THE ZODIAC birthday party at Cellar Door and DJ...
