Popular Culture is the innovative project of young artist, Henry Mowgli Gillespie. The music is a unique combination of bleak and danceable. After two years of on and off sessions with producer Kyle Ellison (Butthole Surfers, Meat Puppets, Pariah) in a tucked away home studio in Austin, Texas, Popular Culture's debut album Episode was recorded. Each song is a pure embrace and reflection of what ails and intrigues the human spirit. The combination of high and low end equipment used in recording creates a soundscape to mirror the balance needed to stay afloat in a young man's mind. "I don't sleep much, I get restless". Both organic and synthesized sounds fill his songs with a sense of diversity and an aspect of mystery. Pulling from influences such as Bauhaus and The Jesus and Mary Chain to Talking Heads and New Order, Popular Culture creates a contemporary outlook on archaic ideas. Young eyes on an old world.

PUBLIC OFFENDERS stands for Poverty United Building Love in Inner Cities Our Future For Every Nation Does Effect Reality Situations- we strive to educate and unite people with our music and words. We don't intend to "offend" the public- only those that do not accept the truth.

Tupac said" I might not change the world, but I guarantee to spark the brain that will change the world"... with that quote our work began. Drailand, Yolanda and Quincy met on the northeast side of Austin,TX, attending Reagan high school, with no lunch money beats became eats, and the change in our pockets mattered less than the change that needed to happen in our communities. As teens a "Day of Truth"  was born, moving over 28,000 units by hand quickly caught the attention of local media outlets such as the Austin Chronicle(and put PO on the map as the new "Teacha(s)" of Hip Hop since KRS-One. As our stories grew so did the stories of others, bringing to light new issues for the offenders to speak to the masses. Giving those with no voice a choice, Police terrorism, domestic violence, Poverty and All forms of Oppression would not get off as easy in PO's flows as they did by societies standards.Public Offenders would then go on to release "All Black" and the highly anticipated worldwide release of "Drop Jewels". PO was able to spread their curriculum to Major associations like "A CALL TO MEN", and work with Middle/High school teachers as well as College Professors across the United States to use the universal tool of music to teach and create peace within the next generation of man, all the while keeping ya head nodding. Being able to grow with Hip-Hop  taught PO that Quality verses Quantity, was most important to  you the PeOple and for Music as a culture, Public Offenders are set to release the Best Album The Austin Hip-Hop Scene has Ever Heard, as well as casting no doubt that the New York influence has reached  further than the 5 boroughs. 2017 are you ready for "The Black Beatles"? #POLYFE

Los Coast is the brainchild of Trey Privott and John Courtney.

Los Coast formed like Voltron, and Trey happened to be the heart. He is Los Coast’s “Stax-worthy” vocal feature. To put it simply, “there’s something about Trey’s voice that resonates with you.” He was introduced first to jazz—by his uncle Hiram Bullock—but Trey’s musical enthusiasm embraces gospel, punk rock, folk, and hip-hop, among other genres, and his eclectic songwriting style reflects his catholic musical interests.
John is a multi-instrumentalist primarily featured as lead guitar. John’s style is rooted in experimental rock and modal jazz and heavily influenced by an appreciation of music theory developed studying mood, texture, and composition at Berklee College of Music.
