Akron pop-rock band Big Pop has released a handful of episodic music videos this year and is recording its debut, full-length album. The band will perform at Cleveland’s Brite Winter Music and Art festival for the first time this Saturday, Feb. 25, on the West Bank of the Flats.
Free Black!, the hip-hop collective developed by Floco Torres and Holbrook Riles III (HR3), released its third album, Black Tuesday! in October. The album explores themes around the economy and working class and includes an assortment of features from Akron-based musicians.
