Pleasure Venom: “Hive”

By: Jack Anderson

As the old saying goes, don’t mess with Texas. Well, I’m starting to think they should change it to don’t mess with Audrey Campbell-the frontwoman of Austin punk rock band Pleasure Venom. In true punk rock fashion, Pleasure Venom pushes boundaries with their hard-hitting songs and pointed lyrics that explore taboo topics with fearless ease. Their latest self-titled EP was recorded in at Wolf Shield Ranch and released in November of 2018. They’ve apparently not been busy enough because on May 8th they will be at Barracuda for their Tour Kickoff and Music Video Release Party starting at 9 pm. We might have to wait till then for the music video but-now- let’s listen to your KUTX song of the day, “Hive.”

Social Dissonance: “Nightstalker”

For a ton of creatives, Halloween is little more than an autumnal gimmick, an excuse to break from the regular programming and indulge in the creepy, macabre, or unnerving. For others though, the elements of Spooky Season might as well be part of the daily routine three hundred and sixty five days straight. And you […]

Beth Lee: “Another Day”

When you’re going through the motions, relying on routine thought loops, and not taking “carpe diem” to heart, life can feel like it’s the same sh*t, different day…over and over again. But bless yourself with the small gift of variety every once in awhile, and you’ll soon find that you’re thriving rather than just surviving. […]

Hayden Butler: “Old News”

Feeling comfortable can quickly devolve into a dangerous game. One weekend you decide to kick back and relax with a six pack, then the next thing you know you’re stuck in a daily routine of gettin’ smashed and trashing your home.

Co-Stanza: “Bet On Love” (prod. Neoma & Jim Eno)

For a lot of industry folks who have “made it”, they’re more than happy to use their powers “for good” by helping to boost the profile of “the little guy”…to pretty much whoever’s willing to pay their fee. On the other hand, while Public Hi-Fi headmaster Jim Eno retains a well-deserved rate for most clients, […]
