Sven Gamsky, known on stage and by his music as Still Woozy, sat with his head leaned back against a pillow while fielding questions over a Zoom press conference, an activity that has become all too familiar for artists in 2020. On his chest is his tiny dog, BMO, appropriately named after the tiny, anthropomorphic video game console from Cartoon Network’s “Adventure Time.” He wears a long-sleeved purple shirt, a common feature of his wardrobe that works its way into what he wears in his music v

South Florida’s five man band, The Hails, were in Boston when the world changed. Their tour, the first of their brand-new careers, was scheduled to take them to Nashville and Atlanta in the coming days, but a global pandemic put their lives on pause, as it did and continues to do to so many people across the globe. “I remember getting a DM from a fan,” said guitarist and vocalist Franco Solari. “I guess who lived in Atlanta, who was like ‘I’m coming no matter what! I’m not scared of Covid!’ I’m

Pop icon Katy Perry, known for exuding charisma and spontaneity, was candid about where she was only a short time ago while working on her new album, “Smile,” set to release August 28. “I wrote this record during one of the darkest times of my life,” she said during a Zoom press conference, “where I didn’t really plan for the next day, or didn’t necessarily want to. I was very flatlined and I was kind of clinically depressed, which is something I had never dealt with.” “You know the saying ‘Wh

Caleb Hiltunen, lead vocalist for the alt-rock band Friday Pilots Club, took a brief pause before explaining what led to embarking on a path that makes a stop this Friday with the band’s single, “Breaking My Bones.” “Do you remember the first time you ever listened to a song and you were in the right context?” he asked. “For me it was listening to ‘Evening Sun’ by the Strokes when I was driving down Allisonville Road in Indiana. And there was a feeling there that there was not a word for. I thi

PUBLIC, pictured above, wrote a song that went viral on TikTok. “It’s kinda like the track is a bigger presence than the band is, which is something we’re trying to work on now.” The Tuesday-night Thalia Hall crowd came together in harmony as Tom Higgenson of Plain White T’s-fame led them through the final bar of “Hey There Delilah.” The roaring enthusiasm replaced the disappointed sigh released by the crowd after hearing that PUBLIC, famous for the song behind the TikTok sensation “Make You Mi

The 2010s gave way to drastic, complex changes in the world of professional sports. As teams got smarter, they were more willing to apply technological and analytical advancements to their sports. That has led to increased efficiency on offense and, in turn, higher numbers on offense. NFL passing numbers have increased steadily since 2005, when the league averaged 205.3 passing yards per game. Whereas league-wide passing averages sat at 221.6 yards per game in 2010, they have risen to 237.8 in

Nick Wold, guitarist and lead singer for the rock band DREAMERS, leaped into a cheering crowd of fans Nov. 19 at the Bottom Lounge. At one point in the night, he told the crowd: “We are dreamers and so are you.” His statement was met with a roar from the crowd. “We want to be dreamers, thinkers, imaginers,” Wold told The DePaulia before the show. “I feel like that’s the role of the artist in society.” DREAMERS and Wold embody the message of their name. Wold’s love for music started early; he s

The band’s lead singers, Maxwell Joseph and Connor Pledger, emphasize their brotherly love on stage. They said their friendship is the strong foundation for their music. The music video for Moby Rich’s “Oil Spill” begins with the lead singers, Maxwell Joseph and Connor Pledger, donning bowl-cut wigs and mustaches on a grainy news presentation. Pledger gives a satirical description of the oil spill to his co-anchor, saying, “Well, there was some oil. A lot of it. In an oil tanker. It was just in
