What do you do when a place has no respect for time or light or dark or anything outside of enjoying and capturing every fleeting moment presented? Well, you melt right in. Welcome to Barcelona.

Last weekend in the beautiful city of Barcelona, we snuggled right up to the Mediterranean and tagged along with our friends at Brixton to attend their two night stint at Apolo. 7 bands — including Spanish party outfit The Parrots, Italian surrealists Sultan Bathery, Spanish revolutionaries Wau Y Los Aarrghs, and the hard-hitting Greek’s in Bazooka and many more — tore the place apart and left nothing but ash and sweat and ringing ears and blurry memories of a night you want to recreate over and over again.

Over the course of the two nights we saw fire-breathing in the pit, dance-able, head bang-able, smash-able and very likable psychedelic rock ‘n’ roll. And the best part? It felt real. There were no corporate sponsors for the show. The bands were all local and underground and extremely fucking passionate. Haven’t seen that in a while amid the sea of large and lazy festivals circulating the globe, it was refreshing to see that Brixton kept it local and underground. A simple formula is the Brixton Broadcast: go to a city, open up the doors and let the locals shred. And that, as you’ll see below is what they did.—Travis 

Below are some photos and music from bands you’ll love and hopefully be seeing more of. And wait until you see the video…

Dear Youth The fun that leads to sleep paralysis

“Never trust a thought that didn’t come from walking.” That’s a quote by an old madman by the name of Friedrich Nietzsche. He’s an existential pioneer and had one hell of a dark passenger throughout his life. But the man sure did drop some wisdom while he was here. I bring this up as a bit…

Dear Youth A Treatise on Art and Coffee

Coffee is a drug. That’s masked by ubiquity and social acceptance but it’s just hot speed. Black hot wonderful speed. That thought lingered last Saturday morning as a nice young man in a waxed-cotton apron and mustache — and not a November mustache, but a real annual subscription to the thing — fixed my Guatemalan…
