  • The Ultimate Starter’s Guide to Becoming a Manipulator (aka, a starter’s guide to emo)
    By Katie Surkin A lot of people have conflicting opinions on emo. A lot of people are wrong. But something we should all agree on is that, before you can form an opinion of any substance, you must study the classic literature. I made it my personal mission to identify the most influential, need-to-know early…
  • Concert review: Florence and The Machine 4/18/2026
    By Andie Ettenberg I don’t listen to Florence and The Machine. But when I ended up with inexpensive nosebleed tickets in the Capital One Arena, I found myself crying right alongside the thousands of millennials wearing flower crowns surrounding me.  Florence and The Machine is a band that I associate with one song: “The Dog…
  • Turnstile’s Definition of Hardcore is NEVER ENOUGH: Album and Concert Review
    Turnstile has been all the talk in the alternative scene lately. From Charli XCX declaring the summer of 2025 “Turnstile Summer,” to Tiny Desk stage dives, to Taco Bell ads, to attempted homicide against your ex-bandmate’s father (looking at you, Brady Ebert…), it seems that everywhere you turn, Turnstile is there. But how did Turnstile go from DIY teenagers in their local Maryland scene to world-touring, Grammy-winning punk legends?
  • Inside Ganiyat Adeduntan’s Transformation of GW Women’s Basketball
    By Zach Gindi-Chiafullo Stepping in as the new head coach of the GW women’s basketball team for the 2025-26 season, Ganiyat Adeduntan inherited a rebuilding program and immediately injected it with a sense of urgency and care. Now, with a successful season in the books–marked by a Great 8 appearance in the Women’s National Invitation…
  • CONCERT REVIEW: Galdive @ The Atlantis, 1/21/25
    Photo and words by Jacob Christian Even an unexpected and shiveringly cold wait of thirty minutes—an appropriate conclusion to a week of historic snowfall—could not dissuade the sizable crowd for the international indie duo Galdive. Braving the twenty-one-hour flight from Indonesia, the group arrived in D.C. on Saturday, January 31, to complete the final destination of…
  • Gorillaz’s sell out is hopefully done: “The Mountain, the Moon Cave, and The Sad God”
    There’s a specific kind of heartbreak reserved for when your favorite band, the one you put on a pedestal, plays in a Fortnite Festival.
  • PREVIEW: Liberation Weekend @ Black Cat, 4/24-26
    Liberation Weekend returns to D.C. for its second year, transforming the Black Cat into a three-day celebration of music, community, and resistance from April 24-26. Hosted by Rayceen Pendarvis, the festival brings together a mix of local and national artists across punk, indie, and experimental scenes.
  • The unfortunate truth of exes and music
    One thing I love about meeting new people is learning what music they listen to. From bonding over knowing the same artists/bands to being struck by how different a person can seem from the music they listen to, I get new music from every new relationship I make. Music and people become associated with one another, a blessing and a curse. For some, hearing Sabrina Carpenter on the speakers in a Target is enough to start the waterworks. Music taste is such a personal thing that it’d be nearly impossible to find a single relationship in which there wasn’t at least one playlist made for or about the other person. So when relationships end, oftentimes a person’s fondness of their ex-partner’s music taste ends along with it.
  • Pick up the PH0N3, it’s T3L3PH0N3: An Interview with T3L3PH0N3
    Most teenagers have a hard time figuring out who they are. T3L3PH0N3 is not like most teenagers. He is loud, chronically online, and completely uninterested in sanding down the edges of his personality to make anyone comfortable. His music — a mix of electro-pop, rap, and chaotic internet references — feels like a direct extension of him: unfiltered and self-aware. T3L3PH0N3 makes no attempt to clean up his music; if something shocks you, that’s your problem. When his single “Harajuku Hennessy” was released, we knew we had to sit down with him and pick at his brain. We hung up the ph0n3 just as confused as when we started, and that’s probably how he likes it.
