Over the past two months, I’ve had the privilege of learning more about the life of one of my favorite rock and rollers through the eyes of journalist Steve Rosen in his 2022 release Tonechaser. In this article, I seek to communicate what I considered the successes and shortcomings of that 26-year-long story.
Indianapolis-based alternative punk band Callejera made their 2024 Culture Shock debut, playing an intense, blistering set with songs off their latest EP, GUTTING. I got a chance to sit down with them after their set to talk about their origins as a band, their latest EP, and growing in the Indy scene.
Recently I got to sit down and host an exclusive interview with Culture Shock opener and WIUX Battle of the Bands winners, Prairie Scout! The interview was held live on WIUX B-Side internet radio and delves into the formation of the band, how they cultivated their sound, and some of their favorite music picks.
The Philadelphia shoegaze band They are Gutting A Body of Water, known as TAGABOW, was a part of the lineup for WIUX’s annual festival, Culture Shock this year.
Pittsburgh-local band Merce Lemon had a great crowd, and an even better performance at the festival. After they killed it on stage, I snagged them for a bit to talk about their experiences as a band, personal opinions on music, and most importantly, fruit preferences.
Among electric performances from acts like Westhead, Evan Wright, and more, Ed Winn seemed to stand out as a highlight for many. He performed at 3 PM, following a very energetic set from Callejera.

Let me set the scene, it’s 8:00 pm on a Friday night and John Mellencamp is playing Emens Auditorium in Muncie, IN. The lights go down, tension begins to build, a buzzing in the room commences, and on comes a screen in which The Fugitive Kind begins playing....

On Friday, March 8th, 2024, I was able to attend the Strokes, NNAMDÏ, Beach Bunny, and Uwade concert for the Chicagoan congressional candidate Kina Collins on behalf of WIUX. The concert was half a birthday celebration for Collins, and half a political rally to encourage voter registration and explain Collin’s policies to the public.
In case you didn’t know, recently The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame released its 2024 nominees to be inducted this year. While the nominees are extensive, and frankly accomplished, list, only five groups get nominated. So, I’m going to give you my predictions for who I think will get voted in, as well as my opinion on who I would vote in.

These few sunny days have me reaching for my spring playlist so I wanted to share a couple albums to add to your spring playlist this year.
I had the pleasure of interviewing Max DiFrisco and Braeden Janes, two founders of the HumDrum Press, an independent record label started a few months ago in town. I was able to talk to them about their inspirations, recent releases, and how this project is different from any other student project.
