USC student record label strikes through with L.A. bands
It can't be argued that the music industry of today is nothing like it was 20 years ago.
Plummeting record sales, bankrupt labels and digital releases are just a few of the challenges USC music industry students and alumni face in the ever-changing music market.
Matt Saltzman, a sophomore majoring in music industry, combated these challenges and used them to his advantage when he created StrikeThrough Records, USC's first student-run record label.

P.S. keep an eye on this student band
The Mars Volta. Dr. Dre. Travis Barker. Daft Punk.
These musical influences might seem unrelated, but they reflect P.S. Nevermind's unique approach to music - one where stereotypes are left behind and risk-taking is embraced.
P.S. Nevermind first emerged onto the music scene in 2005, when two soon-to-be members met on the USC baseball field to discuss their infatuation with live music.

USC rockers try to make it rejn
It's not the kind that falls from the sky, and it's not the type that rules a country. This Rejn has a sound all its own.
The student band (pronounced "rain") began in 2005 when two strangers connected over their goals of hitting it big in the music industry.
A progressive rock group, Rejn infuses Middle Eastern and Spanish melodies with strong rhythms and progressive guitar work.
