Hey, Nothing Let Hound Be Everything at Once

With Hound, Hey, Nothing stopped worrying about what their songs were supposed to sound like. Harlow Phillips and Tyler Mabry talk about trusting strange ideas, writing from gratitude as well as anxiety, and finding the confidence to let every side of the band exist at once.

THE JAMBALOO MUSIC PRIZE IS BACK AND THIS IS WHY IT’S IMPORTANT.

Entries are now open for the 2nd JAMBALOO Music Prize, celebrating the best albums made across Dallas–Fort Worth in 2026. More than a competition, the Prize is a way of making space for the album itself at a time when music is increasingly being broken into smaller pieces.

EAR, MILDRED AND PINKSHIFT.

New York duo ear turn digital anxiety and fractured pop into something strangely intimate; Oakland’s mildred make loose, lived-in indie rock that still sounds like four friends figuring the song out in the room; and Baltimore’s Pinkshift keep finding new ways to make punk feel urgent, volatile and bigger than its boundaries.

INTERVIEW

Coral Johnston Is Learning What to Leave Out.

Coral Johnston is still figuring out what her songs need and, just as importantly, what they don’t. On “If I Wanted,” the Denton songwriter opens the door to a bigger acoustic world while keeping the writing close, human and unvarnished.

INTERVIEW

Lee Emi Is Learning That Nothing Really Starts Over.

After fifteen years of writing with The Crane Wives, Lee Emi is stepping into something less familiar. DESTROY EVERYTHING is a record about self-trust, old wounds, new names and the realization that changing your life doesn’t mean leaving the person you were behind.

INTERVIEW

Share Were Never Supposed to Be in the Same Room.

Share began as a handful of songs travelling between Montana and Manchester, made by two people who had never met and had no real plan beyond the next demo. Four years later, Kaylen Alan and Nile Marr have built a band out of distance, instinct and the simple decision to keep answering each other.

With The Get Back returning on vinyl and “Keep Walking” opening a new chapter, Larry Gee talks about the record that nearly disappeared, surviving kidney disease and transplant, working with Jordan Richardson, and why coming back to music no longer means going back to the person he used to be.
