Guitarist, lyricist, rapper, and producer, Jacq Maliq, incorporates alternative sounds with hip hop beats. Jacq’s lyrics speak directly to the pressures, liveliness, and lessons of today’s youth. In one of his tweets he writes, “God don’t make mistakes, got no regrets, my life is perfect,” which is exactly how we feel about this photo article.
Jacq joined KUGR Program Director, Dara Breeze for a photo shoot in Freak Alley during Treefort Music Fest.

KUGR Music Director Spencer McCarty joins Seattle punk-rock band Naked Giants in the back of their van at Treefort Music Fest 2019!
Seattle is known for a grunge and punk music scene, and Monsterwatch embodies that sound and style. But, Monsterwatch members John Spinney (guitar, vocals), Jack Cornwell (drums), and Ben Parker (bass) listen to musical genres outside of punk.
Ben says he listens to folk music, while one of John’s favorite bands is Tame Impala. John continued to say that he likes to listen to different genres because he takes song structures from those other genres and uses them in his writing process.
