Aaron Behrens
[A]aron Behrens is a very busy man these days. The voice of Austin duo Ghostland Observatory is blazing a new path now that the Texas electro-rock band is currently on hiatus. Behrens is launching a much talked about solo career and will release his debut album as Aaron
[N]ew Orleans native, Luke Winslow-King is set to release his fourth album, Everlasting Arms, 9/30 and the titular track was released the other day and I’m finding it a perfect jam for today. Winslow-King’s smooth voice is perfect for these late summer days, we’
Goodnight Texas
[A]nachronism in music is something we hear in music every day, especially folk music, as it is passed down from generation to generation. It seems as though Avi Vinocur and Patrick Dyer Wolf, the creatives proper for cross-country collaboration Goodnight, Texas understand that. Their music seems to come
Shakey Graves
[F]or the most part, seeing and hearing music live is the top dog of experiences in the music world. You get a sense of the song’s standing in the artist’s eyes, you see them sweat over it, you can feel the music in your chest, and even
Siôn Russell Jones
[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ol9J3IC6URg[/youtube] [A]nother stellar track from Welsh troubadour Siôn Russell Jones inspires another stellar video! Jones’ sophomore album, Lost No More, is a favorite of mine, and regulars to our music loving blog know that when I get a new music video
The Rosebuds
[T]he thing about the ocean, as plenty of others have observed before, is that as big as it is, the part we see most often is just the top. And yet the ocean’s surface has inspired no end of contemplation. On Sand + Silence, the Rosebuds’ newest album, the
Justin Townes Earle
[S]eptember brings us a new release from one of our absolute favorite musicians, Justin Townes Earle. The album in question, Single Mothers, is already Earle’s 5th, and new single “Time Shows Fools,” is showing us Earle’s ability to write and play a smooth, warm alt-country tune.
BLXPLTN
[T]he Austin, TX trio BLXPLTN are the newest addition to the live music capital of the world and they’ve been taking the city’s many venues by storm with their eclectic mix of electronic-post-punk-industrial rock. The band formed in 2013 and since then Lil K
[T]his is my mixtape for the month of July, there was so much good music this month, I couldn’t even keep this to 20 songs. Great new tunes from Savage favorites Chuck Prophet, Blake Mills, The Rural Alberta Advantage, and even a few we never thought we’d
585
[I]’d gone in expecting audience participation at the hands of some of Against Me!’s more anthemic songs, like “I Was a Teenage Anarchist” and “Unconditional Love.” But nearly everything on their setlist became a rowdy singalong. It’s rare to see a band play with such obvious joy,
Royal Blood
[A] punch of adrenaline straight to the heart Pulp Fiction style! That is how I would describe the head rattling sound that is Mike Kerr (vocals, bass) and Ben Thathcher (drums), otherwise known as Royal Blood. The UK duo released their debut EP, Out Of The Black, earlier in the
