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.

PICKAXE DC talks new EP, youth in the scene and plans for the future 

PICKAXE is a high energy, female-fronted punk rock band from our very own Washington, D.C. Although their published discography consists of only four songs, all wrapped up neatly in their recently released EP, PROVOCATEUR, each track has its own unique sound and message. It’s the kind of music that pumps up your adrenaline to negate those bruises you’ll inevitably get in the mosh pit. I can confidently say that PICKAXE’s music is best experienced up close, personal, and dressed in a hot dog costume. Seeing is believing; on streaming you get a very clean, packaged version of their songs but witnessing a set live brings together the whole experience. PICKAXE is impressive in that, even through the haze of the room and the writhing mess of the pit, their vocals and instrumentals come through just as clear and polished as they do on the EP.
