Interpol is one of the hardest-working low-key bands on the indie scene. So it’s no surprise that when the trio completed its sixth album, Marauder, there was plenty of leftover material. Last August, the bandmates released Marauder, on which they collaborated with Flaming Lips and MGMT producer Dave Fridmann. Interpol guitarist and…
Four years ago, the inaugural Rolling Loud festival was a humble one-day event held in Wynwood. Schoolboy Q, riding high on the success of his Kendrick Lamar-featuring hit “Collard Greens,” headlined a bill that included Juicy J, Action Bronson, Curren$y, and a pre-Rodeo Travis Scott. That’s nothing to scoff at…
Last year, a group of music festival veterans announced plans to stage a three-day event on the sands of South Beach. Originally scheduled for 2018, the festival was delayed due to concerns from residents and city officials. That seems to have been sorted out, because…
Talking to Sam Kiszka of Greta Van Fleet, you’d never guess he was the bassist of the biggest young rock band to emerge in decades. The 20-year-old speaks humbly and philosophically about his success. That’s a feat for someone so young, especially after the band’s first full-length album…
“New Person, Same Old Mistakes” was covered by Rihanna, and he’s since collaborated with the likes of Lady Gaga, Mark Ronson and Travis Scott — the kinds of artists I probably would have sneered at before I fell in love with Currents.

Remember those black-and-white parental advisory stickers? The music industry used to slap them on CDs to warn parents about explicit content. Well, you can thank Judas Priest for them — at least in part. Priest’s “Eat Me Alive,” along with songs by Prince, Def Leppard, Madonna, and the Disney-princess-like Sheena…
What’s the minimum number of screens in your peripheral at any given moment? When’s the last time you watched a movie or read a book without also intermittently scrolling your Instagram feed? It takes a lot to hold our attention, especially for a postmillennial generation known for partying less and choosing the safety of…

The Wynwood Yard is not long for this world, but before its gates close for good, owners say they’re planning one “epic final weekend.” YardFest: Farewell to The Wynwood Yard is a three-day extravaganza aiming to celebrate everything that was good about the open-air space. From May 3-5, over a…
Ten notable dates and selectors Miami clubgoers should mark on their calendars.
I spent the summer of 1999 in Seoul mesmerized by the K-pop music videos that ran on repeat on the TV set in my grandparents’ high-rise apartment. I swooned over the members of the then-popular boy band H.O.T., and I yearned to be in a girl group like S.E.S or…
What do Los Amigos Invisibles and Aterciopelados have in common? The former is a Venezuelan group that plays tropical pop spiked with funk, disco, and acid jazz. The latter is a Colombian rock band specializing in punk and the native folk sounds of its Andean homeland. But though their styles…
The energetic, Grammy-nominated tropical-rock group is joined on the track by the legendary reggae musician and producer Freddie McGregor
