An Interview with Michale Graves of the Misfits
Known for introducing the music sub-genre, horror-punk, The Misfits were a legendary punk-rock band of the 80s. Leading the band’s revival in the 90s was the self-titled “music man,” Michale Graves. Donning the Misfits’ staple, skull make-up, Graves carried the band of punk rockers up to the new millennium and expanded their reach to the next generation. Though it has been over a decade since the last Misfits’ record, Graves has continued to pursue a solo career as a singer-songwriter. Substituting face makeup for face paint, this husband and father of two is far from the former hard rock archetype he portrayed for many years. Promoting the release of his brand new album, Vagabond, Michale Graves shared with Grooveshark that an artist evolves just as much as the music they were put on this earth to create.

Nice and Slow
by Max Frost
Up-and-coming and set to perform during SXSW this year, Max Frost, the native Austinite singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist is nothing less than a musical chameleon. Frost dances the line between blues, hip-hop, pop, and soul effortlessly and with obvious skill, so much so that I’ve almost forgotten that these genre distinctions ever existed in the first place.

![New Album Alert
el cantador [ can-tah-dor’]
1 Spanish. the folk singer
2 English. Indie-rock band from Mobile, AL with an awesome new album!
The indie rock trio, El Cantador, kicked off the new year with the release of their album Translation Wave. Showcasing an evolved new sound, fans of their last records on 2011’s Fools for Light will be surprised to find the band shelving the synthesizers and dance-driven melodies for a more acoustic based sound. Regardless of their new style, we are loving every last song on this album. Check out this Off the Avenue video for the song “Particle and Wave.”](http://25.media.tumblr.com/18252b1ac494dd1b721f8f5147175e54/tumblr_mjo1d93dyt1qz9si0o1_500.jpg)
