Metal will always be a part of the ever-changing South Florida musical landscape. As far back as I can remember, no matter what trends come and go, metal has been a constant. Although its mainstream appeal has been a rollercoaster (forever rising, falling, rising once again, etc.), it has never really gone away. Growing up in Miami and listening to heavy metal, thrash and even glam rock (yes, I am not ashamed…well, maybe a little) in the 80s and 90s, I must say that... Read More →

Category: Interviews Posted by: Goobs

18 Apr

I recently had the opportunity to sit down with Stones Throw artist, Detroit rapper Guilty Simpson and discuss the state of hip hop today. We spoke on Random Axe, his upcoming OJ Simpson 2 album and what it was like to work with J Dilla and have MADLIB produce his albums. We even touched on the impact of social media on hip hop and the pressure that artists face to meet record label’s bottom lines. Well-spoken and intelligent, Guilty Simpson gave us great insight on what the game is like today... Read More →

[Antisteez Interview]: Dela and the Translation Lost Album

EZ, our music man here at the ‘steez recently reviewed Dela’s new album, Translation Lost and could not stop giving it praise. So you can imagine our excitement when we got a chance to ask the French-born producer about what it takes to make great music, who he is listening to right now and what the future holds after Translation Lost. Dela‘s sound, a blend of jazz and hip hop is smooth and reminiscent of some of the greats like ATCQ and more recently, HBMS. Where does the inspiration... Read More →

In the 305, there are bands who do it and then there are band who get it done. ¡MAYDAY! is the latter. One of the hardest-working bands in Miami, this team of musicians has been hustling their way to the top and just last week they cemented their go-getter status by signing with Tech N9ne’s Strange Records label. We caught up with the band for a little interview sesh about signing the deal and other MAYDAY! news. Read the interview below and then peep the video interview with the band at their... Read More →

[Interview] Panic Bomber: Untamed by Convention

Antisteez sat down with Richard Haig or as the Miami crowd may know him- Panic Bomber. This one man show has taken his performances to new levels over the past couple of years and brought plenty of acclaim to a sound all his own. From Ultra to SXSW he’s been a busy character, but we were lucky enough to sit down with him and find out what makes him tick. Take a look and find out what goes into his performances whether it’s a persona in sparkly tights or a master composer flanked by his... Read More →

[Antisteez Interview]: In A Daze, A Chat With The 305′s Lost Soul

Category: Interviews Posted by: Goobs

11 Apr

Photo by Junk Lainez In the 305 you have crazies, you have characters and then you have Daze; a 27-year-old, 305 original who is everything that is good about tattoos, cosplay and fades. If you have ever spent any time out and about in the 305 nightlife, you have probably seen Daze. (Granted, he is pretty hard to miss.) Covered in tattoos and sporting dreadlocks in various colors, he is one of those people that you cannot, at least visually, ignore. (You might have even seen him on Telemundo... Read More →

It’s exciting times for Los Primeros. They are emerging full throttle with new music, a new member and a sophisticated new image. Actively traveling between Miami and LA, recording and promoting, they are on the verge of something big, and they’ve done it on their own.

[Antisteez Interview]: 2 Girls and A Cupcake and the Antisteez Cupcake Winner!

Back in March, we posted a wonderful story featuring one of the best things to come out of Hialeah…2 Girls and A Cupcake. The two girls are Evelyn Dieppa and Lorena Castro, but for all intents and purposes, we should just call them both Betty…as in Crocker. Why? Because these two mavens of cupcakery create such sugary and splendid sweets in their little shop that it will take your taste buds to the most-revered places of bakery. In fact, consuming these sweet treats actually makes people... Read More →

Antisteez Takes a Good Look at Low Visibility

There are Miami bands that show up, do their job, pack it up, go home and then sit on their asses until the next gig comes up a week or two later. They never connect with people, they never support other bands, they never really walk the walk, basically. Low Visibility is not one of those bands. These guys are the epitome of what being in a band is about. In addition to being one of the most solid rock n’ roll acts in Miami right now, on any given night, at any given show by local bands, you... Read More →

Young Circles: Taking Their Time

Category: Interviews Posted by: isabel

22 Mar

Young Circles is unique. They are vocalist Jordy Asher, guitar/bass David Barnard and drummer Jeff Rose. Their patience and stealth is bewildering. A young indie trio, you would think they’re anxious to release material, but they are the exact opposite. Their method is not to release and bombard, but rather perfect and trickle music out to the world, and when live instrumentation, tangible talent and unwavering focus is placed on a musical product, you get the Bones EP. “We had an album...

Antisteez Interviews Radioboxer, Creators of Bipolar Power Pop

I met Jota Dazza and the rest of the members of Radioboxer personally at Hialeah Fest last year. This was the first actual event where I began doing Antisteez duties and it was the very beginning of the flood of interviews that took place afterwards. Jota and I talked for a few minutes about their progress as a band and their signing with Flower Blade Records. Speaking with Jota always leads to one of the most funniest discussions ever and despite his kind and humble personality, Jota is actually... Read More →
