Izcalli- Izcalli III
by Tim Wenger Let’s put it bluntly here- Izcalli is the freshest thing to happen in Denver’s indie rock scene in the last two years. I’ve been working on my Spanish lately, and the group’s new record Izcalli III is now to going to be on repeat in my car while I memorize the lyrics […]
Greener Grounds
by Tim Wenger Greener Grounds– perhaps the band name refers to the fact that they are taking their genre to a new level.

Higher Ground Music Festival Artist Preview: The Bell Hours
by Tim Wenger The Bell Hours are ready to cash in. From what angle, is what they are trying to figure out.

Dirty Few- Party or Don’t
by Tim Wenger Dirty indie rock is one of the few genres that, while maintaining enough mainstream appeal to keep progressing, never let go of its underground roots.

Higher Ground Music Festival Artist Preview: The Tragic Thrills
by Tim Wenger The Tragic Thrills know what it’s like to live out of a van. They know what it’s like to drink crappy motel coffee every morning. They know what it’s like to drive 35 miles per hour across the country because the biggest blizzard of the winter seems to have the exact same […]
