About Us

Moody Studios is a culture publication based in Austin. We cover music, film, books, and live events, you know… the stuff worth paying attention to and the stuff that doesn’t always get the coverage it deserves.

We write reviews that actually say something. We shoot photos that capture the moment. We show up.

This is for people who feel things deeply and expect more from their culture writing than a score out of ten.
