Indie shoegaze band Midsummer Motel, took the crowd by surprise when they announced on stage they would perform their debut album Beat the Horse in its entirety at Vinyl on March 7. At that moment, the night went from a  rock show to an artistic performance.

Nettspend’s debut album has its moments, but they’re not enough to rescue it from an overwhelming sense of dullness. Since his arrival onto the scene in 2023 with his single “Drankdrankdrank,” Nettspend has been one of rap’s most polarizing figures.

Last Thursday, up and coming Indietronica band Cootie Catcher made a stop on their longest tour to date at WREK’s own event!
