Boys Like Girls Celebrate Past Albums at the Soundtrack of Your Life Tour Stop in San Antonio.
I've been a firm believer that we should bring back appreciation for albums played front to back, so when I heard that Boys Like Girls were playing two of their greatest albums front to back on the Soundtrack of Your Life Tour, I knew I had to be in attendance. I was not prepared for how many emotions I felt during this show and how much nostalgia that hearing these albums live brought back for me. The first opener, Arrows in Action, was the perfect start to the night to get

BENEE gave Austin the Princess Treatment at her stop on the Particles Tour
RIYL: Remi Wolf, mxmtoon, Still Woozy I walked into the BENEE show not knowing what to expect and I left that show having had some of the most fun I've had at a show this year. Openers are always hit or miss for me, as sometimes they don't feel like they mesh with the vibe of the artist or the fanbase but BENEE's opener, Bayli was perfect. She captured the crowd quickly with her sassy image and catchy lyrics. It was so much fun to watch her work the stage and participate wit

Conan Gray Celebrates His Idle Town in Fort Worth Show of the Wishbone World Tour
RIYL: Olivia Rodrigo, Wallows, Clairo, Ricky Montgomery Photo from @conangray on Instagram, photo by: Dillon Matthew I want to start off this review by letting my story speak for itself. I was a casual Conan fan at the release of Wishbone and going into this show. I listened to his songs that were popular, and I only started listening to the albums all the way through when Found Heaven came out. I never considered him to be one of my favorite artists ever and wasn't really in

I saw that Jesse McCartney was coming to Austin on his Weightless Tour and knew I had to be there. It was going to be an incredible show.

Into The Rush at Aly & AJ's Tour Stop in Austin
Aly & AJ were one of the staple bands in your iPod Nano if you grew up on Disney Channel in the early 2000s.
