Nevertel

Nevertel plays Come and Take It Live on Saturday, September 26, as part of the Rock Austin festival. It's a duo—Jeremy Michael and Raul Lopez—and they've built their sound around a few different worlds: hip-hop, nu-metal, and alternative rock. The way they put them together is pretty specific: melodic choruses paired with hip-hop verses, and EDM-style breakdowns that shift the energy when the song needs it.

They've put out two albums and two EPs so far, and the numbers back up the reach—more than 60 million streams across their catalog. That gives them a good amount of material to pull from for a single set, so you'll likely hear a mix of the older stuff and the newer records rather than just one era. The nu-metal influence is the heaviest part of the equation, but the hip-hop verses and the electronic drops keep it from sitting in just one place.

This particular date is part of the Rock Austin festival, which puts them in a larger lineup of rock acts throughout the city. If you've been following them since the early EPs, it's a chance to hear how the sound has evolved across those two albums. If you're coming in fresh, the nu-metal, hip-hop, and alternative rock description tells you exactly what to expect: heavy riffs, rapped verses, and big, melodic hooks.

Tickets start at $43, and the show kicks off at 6 PM at Come and Take It Live, 2015 E Riverside Dr bldg 4, Austin, TX 78741.
