Interview: Royal Baths
Jeremy Cox and Jigmae Baer started Royal Baths without a plan in mind but soon the foundation for their writing found inspiration from Cox’s interest in the alternate and open tunings of delta blues, their shared fascination in the African rhythm of early Chicago blues, and Baer lyrically attempting to reflect with black humor and [...]
On The Verge Interview: Races
Over the past year, we have begun to put more of a focused emphasis on music festivals. We sincerely believe that even in this day of rampant technology, they still represent one of the greatest ways to discover new music. In that short time span, we have been able to cover ACL, CMJ, The Voo [...]

Sunday’s Best: Lil Wayne
Back in the day, when this place was crawling with forums and chats about random acts of music, we used to poll ourselves to see which release by an artist not only set them atop of the industry but stapled them in as musical gods. Weezy has become such a staple of hip-hop culture, it [...]
On The Verge Interview: Oberhofer

Artist Update: Wiz Khalifa

It was downloaded so much and so quickly that it caused mixtape website Datpiff which hosted it to crash. He appeared both at Fader Fort, and also at the Mountain Dew Green [...]
Artist Update: Eminem
You just never know which rumors to believe or doubt at SXSW. I heard on Wednesday from an older white woman in her 50′s that looked like a Grandmother that Snoop Dogg was to be making a special, secret performance during the week. Since she didn’t seem to be a credible source, I made the [...]
