New Instrumental Jam from Equals

Texas, especially in the summer time, seems to breed bands that just want to get down and play together, fully unleashing whatever sounds come to their fingers.  Such is the case with up-and-comers, Equals, one of the newest in the Texas field of post-rock.  While the beginning and end definitely rely upon the quieter side of the musical stream, you’ll find that there’s some chaos swirling in the middle for you, giving you precisely that level of noise many need in their instrumental rock.  The group is releasing their debut self-titled EP on August 30th, and from there, they can only get bigger. Let’s do this.

Free Sampler From Manateam Group

Recent Austin startup Manateam Group has begun to build a name in the music industry specializing in promotion, booking, publishing, and anything else a local band may need.  Over the last couple months of existence, the Austin collective has built a nice roster of local artists with familiar faces like Zlam Dunk mixed in with newer acts like Equals.  To showcase their talent, a free sampler was deemed to be in order and is now available on the Manateam Group bandcamp page.  You’ll get 13 tracks of some of the best Austin has to offer, including this tasty new number from Basketball Cards “Waiting for Me”.  Well done kids.
