Austin A2W: Agent Ribbons
I guess we here at ATH have been living under a rock for the last couple years because we truly have missed out on new Austin band Agent Ribbons. The ladies in this band made way to Austin recently by way of Sacramento and have been making a name for themselves around town as of late. On their upcoming release, Chateau Crone, these ladies of rock create a dirty garage rock sound most similar to Dum Dum Girls or maybe even a more psychedelic version of Best Coast. Whichever way you want to call it, this band means business with the heavy garage pop sound they produce. Below you can check out the band’s latest single called “I’m Alright” which is a true representation of the Agent Ribbons sound. We’ll be keeping track of this band is the tour the country and return for more local shows later this fall.

The violinist Naomi used to play in another excellent female trio called Southern Drama. People who say Austin doesn’t have good local bands just aren’t paying attention.
I love Agent Ribbons! I reviewed their album last month.

@Ajay A lot of people are basing that on the “popular” bands coming out of Austin that don’t really deserve the positive praise, but fit into a niche or genre that may be “popular” right now. AND agreed. This town has some incredible local bands no one is talking about.
@Austin Girl – Nice review! Maybe we should work together.. eh? eh?
