We’re currently in the process of a complete redesign, a whole new look and experience will be available shortly. Come back in a few days to check out the new Under The Industry!
Wishbone – Taking Breaks
Coming out of Los Angeles, California is the three-piece psychedelic indie rock band known as Wishbone. With a unique and interesting sound somewhat reminiscent of classic bands like The Beatles, The Who, and Oasis, these guys have dove into a genre that hasn’t seen the spotlight in quite a few decades. I highly recommend wearing headphones while listening to their songs to fully appreciate the stereo experimentation, psychedelic instrumentation, and subtle sound changes that make up this all-encompassing listening experience. This is the kind of music that brings to mind visions of the sixties; the hippy movement, Woodstock, counterculture, war protesting, peace, flower power, and mind-altering drugs. So, are we seeing psych-rock on a comeback? I can’t say for sure. However if more bands like this are willing to give it their all, and put out music with a modern twist on a nostalgia sound, I can see psych-rock and similar genres picking up in popularity.

RapMuhammad – Q+A Session
Browsing some of the recommended artists that were emailed to UnderTheIndustry, I happened to stumble across a 23 year old aspiring rapper from Chicago who called himself RapMuhammad. After listening to a few of his songs on his soundcloud I ended up getting really into his music. Interesting beats that feature hard-slapping bass coupled with light woodwinds and instrumentals, blended seamlessly with lyrics that speak strong and clever. Anyway, I went on to ask him if he wouldn’t mind doing a little interview with us. I gave him some basic questions to get to know more about him and his life, where he got the inspiration for his music, and what the future holds for his career. Check out his responses below!
How about a little backstory? Where are you from, and what made you who you are today?
I was born in San Bernardino, CA and spent my first few years of life on earth there. Soon after, my family moved into my great grandma’s basement on the southside of Chicago when I was around four years old. We stayed there until we could afford to move out to our own place in Matteson, a southern Chicago burb. My Dad’s business was growing almost as fast as our family was with six kids of their own plus three additional foster kids. My parents didn’t want their family to be split apart so they took all three of them in. Eventually we needed more space so when I was around ten or eleven we moved into an even bigger house in a different suburb called Mokena. We lived there until my father passed away in 2005. It was a shit show from there. We moved in the city, out the city, in the city again, out the city again, and so on until I couldn’t remember the name of the streets we were living on anymore. Six times relocating and seven years later, I stay on my mom’s couch in Bradley, IL now. I also lived in West Lafayette, IN while attending Purdue.
