October, 17th. Prostitute makes their first appearance in Iowa.

By

I first heard Prostitute in my Spotify discover weekly playlist around the beginning of last summer and as an enthusiast of any kind of noisy or abrasive rock/punk, I pretty much immediately fell in love with their music. The incredibly energetic vocals and playing, combined with angsty yet introspective lyricism make for such a fun listening experience that continues to maintain your engagement. So a couple months when I found out they were playing a show in my home state, I immediately knew I couldn’t miss out. Driving back to Iowa City from my hometown that night led to me … Continued

The rivalry is back: Iowa defeats ISU in season-best performance

By

Carver-Hawkeye Arena was rocking, the student section was in full force. The nearly sell-out crowd of 15,127 turned the place into a Black and Gold ruckus.

In a game that featured a multitude of runs and many momentum swings, Iowa forgot about its atrocious 3-point shooting in the first half, out-rebounded the best rebounding team in the nation, and ultimately defeated Iowa State. Down 36-35 at the break, the Hawkeyes (8-2) started off the second half on a 6-0 run, took the … Continued
