RGV Music Roundup: 3/16/25
A roundup of new RGV music featuring shoegaze bliss, extravagant metal, and washed-out head trips.
Edwin Voyager - DISTANCE
One of the best releases so far this year, full of kaleidoscopic soundscapes from hypnotic disco to liminal vignettes. EV’s washed-out head trips reach new heights during the most catchy and tender moments.
Violetta - Year of the Horse
Shoegaze darlings Violetta break out in 2025 with a blurry and blissful hit single while showcasing their heavy edge.
Temptrix - As I Bleed
A stunning cut of dark wave. Dancy, sultry, and brimming with haunting atmosphere.
Shattered Stories - Empy Rooms Don’t Exist
The young metalcore/post-hardcore band have outdone themselves with their most extravagant single yet. Powerful riffage, tasteful breakdowns, and visceral passion that feels highly inspired.
Quiet Ghosts TX - Creeper
A blazing metal cut that is indeed creeping and ominous, with great arrangement weaving through its screaming and singing sections.
