RGV Music Roundup: 2/3/26
A roundup of new RGV music featuring explosive punk rock, a prog thriller, and an emo veteran’s debut album.
Ok Robot - Urinagi
Their most refined and explosive single yet. With the help of Raul “Riff” Cuellar behind the boards, their punk prowess surges like never before. It’s also the band at their most socially conscience, with the frustrations of masking under oppression fueling their fire.
Pillowsnake - FULLY CURED
There’s an ominous urgency in the face-melting guitars, blitzing drums, and dizzying distortion of this genre-busting punk EP, but it’s also Pillowsnake’s most bold and meticulous political and musical statement that was worth the wait.
blixr - fester
Get lost in the exploratory passages and creeping suspense of this progged-out thriller.
The Vennz - FRENNZY
The long-awaited debut album from indie emo rockers The Vennz. Great for wallowing in its pained angst and sour chords, while leaving room for pop exuberance and a heavy edge.
