“Infamous” may be their chosen descriptor, but arguably, there are a few words that better capture the flourishing, infectious creative spirit of this sharp collective. Words like uninhibited or enthralling might be more fitting for the band in their current chapter, as The Infamous HER continues to weave unpredictability deep into their …

Divergent was born when James Richards (guitar, keys, vocals), Mike McAlister (bass, vocals), and Paul Richards (drums, vocals) finally stopped asking “what if” and started asking “what’s next.” This fiery three-piece has been nearly 40 years in the making, built on equal parts nostalgia and nerve.

Singer-songwriter and frontman Kristian Petrov Iliev founded the group in 2012, and since then, The Racing …

A quiet but striking maturity shines in Mane Thompson’s persona, a readiness and tenacity not often seen in artists his age, especially one who hasn’t even started high school yet.
