In the constant quest for new music, there are times where you’ll get mystified in how one band gets popular over another. You can also get lost in the guise of modern popularity over talent. When we stumbled upon the regret pop of Austin’s Sun June, we were astounded that they somehow missed our radar,...More Please

Emo Short Fictions

Depending on who you ask, emo music has been around long before the music industry found a way to co-opt and exploit the genre for profit. In the latest crop of emo bands, some have added their own take while others have returned to the earlier sounds of the nineties slew of bands. While we...More Please

When two consummate musicians get together, the end result can either be disaster or triumph. Luckily for those of us who hear the latest album Little Common Twist by Charles Rumback & Ryley Walker, the overall sound is the latter.

The Wiggins Return with New Single

No matter where you go, there’s always an act that makes the kind of music that tickles a bone or two, no matter when you hear it. Down in Texas there’s plenty of artists that follow their own path. Though everyone has this notion that Austin is littered with artists that make their own brand...More Please

Parquet Courts Post-Punk

In the past ten years, few bands have grown as much as the members of Brooklyn’s Parquet Courts. Going from a group of primarily Texas members to New York transplants making post-punk music, the band has come a long way in a short period of time. Their early years bookmarked with a touch of snark...More Please

There was a time when hearing great music from far away places was nearly impossible. Sure, the right record store employee could have steered you in the right direction, but even those people were difficult to find. Thanks to the internet, so much of that has changed.

The last ten years have clocked in pretty quickly, though that may be what happens with age. Time can sometimes be harsh. It doesn’t seem like it was the beginning of the decade when a friend would ask the fateful question, “have you ever heard Angel Olsen?” It was 2012, and we hadn’t. In fact...More Please

Denton’s Claire Morales has a creative streak like we’ve not seen before. Aside from an energetic live show and a diverse album with All That Wanting, Morales seems to thrive in a creative ethos that few artists seem to engage with.

Post-Punk Protomartyr

What may make one band great isn’t always what makes another one just as satisfactory. We haven’t had the luxury of being able to watch Detroit’s Protomartyr since they formed in 2010, but once they began releasing material we knew all about them. The band makes post-punk that’s tightly wound and heavily orchestrated in how...More Please

USA Nails Eviscerates on Latest Album

It felt like this year we saw more post-punk bands than in past years. While No Wave isn’t the largest subgenre, the bands who identify with that world create some of the most intense punk you’ll hear in a while. While we wished we’d have caught this album when it dropped, London’s USA Nails make...More Please

For a minute now, we’ve had our eyes on the soulful sounds of Austin’s Tomar and the FCs. Coming along in a sea of blue-eyed-soul acts who just don’t offer the gut punch we think makes the genre so engaging, they’re very much like what we’ve been jonesing for. The band is made up of...More Please

Austin’s The Sour Notes have a handle on being a band in today’s modern world. Lately, they’ve opted to steer into dropping seven inch vinyls rather than releasing a full length album, and so far all of those tracks have been their best to date. Keeping in that tradition, the band ha s a new...More Please
