I recently talked to REBEL’s frontman Micke and asked him how the band’s new release, Locations, was coming along. Micke said that he was excited and extremely proud of their work. I honestly didn’t expect anything less from REBEL. But then I got worried when he said that this project’s sound was more mature. When I hear the word “mature” used to describe a band’s sound, I tend to kind of freak out. In my mind, when a band says their sound is mature it means... Read More →
I’m actually looking forward to a few musical events that are happening this year. Some of the ones on this list hit closer to home than others. I’d also like to point out that this is an absolutely personal list and has nothing to do with my team at antisteez. And this list is not necessarily in any order. All those disclaimers said, let’s get on with it. I’m GENUINELY excited about the fact that two of my favorite local bands are coming out with new releases. I won’t... Read More →
I’m particularly picky about what music on the local scene I listen to and that’s not to say that I’m complete snob, but it’s been awhile since I heard a local rock band that truly blew me away. I’m not saying Miami music sucks (Trust me, it’s FAAARRRRR from that.), I’m just saying I’m very picky about what I want to write about. And I have strange taste in music in general. However, I was directed to check out Planelifter and listen to their EP “As... Read More →

It doesn’t stop here either…AbdeCaf says he is already working on his next EP. Unravel... Read More →
At first listen we didn’t know what genre to put YarleN’s productions in. However, behind the curtain, she’s doing big things with local acts of all genres. Recently, she’s had music placements on U.K. Internet radio stations and placement on a fetish website. I recently had the chance to throw some questions at YarleN about what musical endeavors lie ahead. (Photo Courtesy of NefariousGirl.com) 1. What’s on your To-Do List, YarleN?

Warning Sirens from Rebel on Vimeo. All I’m going to say here besides this video being completely awesome is, this is nowhere near the end of news for REBEL this year. This year looks like a big year for them so stay tuned! Fun Fact: I was almost going to be one of those skeleton dudes riding bikes in the video. FACT! Read More →
Damian C.’s Perspective on AbdeCaf I have mad respect for people that just wake up one day and tell themselves, “I’m just going to do this all by myself” and when the advancement of technology for music especially, we’re able to make music on our own. A lot of my favorite musical projects start as one man bands such as Nine Inch Nails and M83. So whenever I hear local musicians in bands talk about doing their own thing, I’m more than likely to listen considering being in the same boat.... Read More →
I’m sure you all remember in the summer I’ve did a series called the Top 5 Halftime Jams of 2011 where Miami musicians shared with us the top 5 jams they’ve been jamming to (hence the name). Right now I’m bringing you the finale of the year of 2011 with some additional Top 5s from them not related to what they’e listening to. Just a mere reflection of the year and what they’re looking forward to for the next year. Yeah keep in mind that whatever Miami musicians mention in 2012 in this... Read More →
