Shannon Sims published this month in the New York Times that “Sometimes Houston can be really beautiful”. But the Space City has always been beautiful for those who know her well. Houston is the New Sound of Texas because there is live music happening everywhere in this city. Post covid Punk scene is more radiant than ever, rapers release music weekly and women have taken the stage in a former male-dominated bussiness. Houston music scene is not hard to find if you keep your ear close to the ground. We have made a list of 100 artists of all genres to get you started in a musical journey this year. Do yourself a favor: grab your boots, go out and listen to a live show with a cold one and a couple of friends.
Órpheus Von Doom
Too many questions for the mind that I hold
Too many battles for the things that I stole
I rather run around and see the world with you
The Virulent
Billions Logged into this virtual reality
A character begotten by the insanity
Of a false life is given, not the real one that you’re living
A false perception, the story of a lie
The Kiddos
These feelings
They’re all I want
They’re all I got
So sit beside me
Under the Apple Tree
Calderas
You all strengthen my resilience
These scars this weight are at the end of everyday
These shadows these shackles
Surround me like wolves and jackals
Jés
Fui mucho mejor contigo
El fuego que prendió
Ya se apagó
Y perdimos el poder
Los dos
