Review: Totally Knuts: “Fresh, Spooky, & Queer”
“Fresh, Spooky, & Queer” is Totally Knuts’ first wizard rock album. As the recipient of a Yes All Witches Grant (video of the announcement here!), TK was able to put out this album using new recording software and microphones. TK wanted to give the wizard rock community more diverse representation through this album, and I’d argue…

Review: Totally Knuts: “Pan Magic”
Totally Knuts’ “Pan Magic” EP isn’t the band’s first official release (stay tuned for our review of their full-length album, “Fresh, Spooky, & Queer”) but it is an excellent preview of what the band has to offer. Let’s get started! The EP opens with a delightful anthem for Luna: “Being Me.” This song emphasizes Luna’s…

Review: [Explicit] MC Gryf: Witches Ain’t Shit
Note: This EP is not remotely safe for work or sensitive ears. MC Gryf asserts himself from the very first verse of “Where My Mudbloods At?”: “I been writin’ rhymes since Albus Dumbledore bit the dust.” This first entry on his “Witches Ain’t Shit” EP is an aggressive one, with MC Gryf talking shit on Slytherin…

Review: What Is Your Bag (to the tune of “Here Comes Your Man”)
Ludo Bagman and the Trash released their first album this past July, under an inventive new genre: BAG ROCK. Don’t bag it till you try it, folks. The album itself is a mixed bag of styles and instrumentations. It opens with “Song From Ludo’s Mom,” which is my tied-for-first-place favorite cover of a Katy Perry…

State of the Pedia
Hi, readers. We’ll keep this short and to the point. Each time we’ve resurrected the ‘Pedia, it’s been with the absolute best intentions. This site means a lot to us, and we’ve been trying to keep it alive and thriving for maybe longer than we should have. Fact is, we just can’t keep up as…

The #wrocksampler was released on September 3, 2016, and featured songs from old favorites like Draco and the Malfoys, and…

#YesAllWitches – How One Wizard Rocker Wants to Empower the Fandom
When Steph Anderson (our favorite pink-haired awesome Auror) presented at the Harry Potter Alliance’s inaugural Granger Leadership Academy in 2014, she didn’t know that her catchy slogan would become a fandom movement. After learning about the premise of the first-ever GLA conference, she says, “I basically forced myself upon the HPA and badgered them until…

We Did Our Waiting: Seven Years Of It.
Back in August, when the wizard rock schedule was announced for LeakyCon 2016, we all noticed a fantastic surprise: the Mudbloods would be reuniting for the first time in seven years! As a person in attendance at their last show at Wrockstock 2009, the lineup made me do a double take. I never thought they…
