RGV Music Roundup: 1/20/26
A roundup of new RGV music featuring blazing post-hardcore, stunning darkwave, and a glossy trance epic.
KELLY - Inside This Hell
KELLY kicks off the new year with a bang. Blazing riffs, commanding drums, dynamic angsty vocals. It’s only their second single, but they’re quickly becoming a band to look forward to in 2026.
TEMPTRIX - Dare to Try
Feel the haunting weight of TEMPTRIX’s devastating cries in this darkwave stunner.
Shriek - NEUROPHASIA
Shriek returns to his trance roots in this glossy cerebral-themed epic, with two remixes that cover more sonic ground.
Valley Swerve - state akin to sleep
Valley Swerve’s coveted return to album-making is a highly inspired ambient project full of gripping texture and profound expansiveness.
Simply Blinded - Echoes
One of the many singles we didn’t get to late last year, but we can’t forget this young band that is already clicking together so well. Their latest song is an affable emo delight (along with their other track “All The Lies”).
