Great New Track From Honey I’m Home

Leave a comment

Rising Dutch band Honey I’m Home really left a lasting impression on me after our ATH show during SXSW at 29th street Ballroom. They’d easily be one of my top bands of the festival, if not the favorite overall. While the buzz is high, the band just released this new single called “Hyperspace Mountain” a couple days ago, and it needed to be on these her pages. Without much by way of recorded material, it’s great to have something else to add to my top songs of 2026. Heavily atmospheric, leaning toward shoegaze, but with these light, tonal touches throughout. Love it.

If you’re over in Europe, the band just announced a few dates over there. Stay tuned.

Oakwood Return!

Leave a comment

Oakwood is one of those Austin bands who we feared may have met the fate of many bands we used to love in this town – initial success, followed by a step away from music. It’s not easy to exist creatively here, and we are hyper aware of that.

We do find it crazy refreshing when you see a band you used to really dig make a comeback like Oakwood did a year or so ago with a new single and some live dates. This year it seems the band is really back for good, and in full force, with more planned shows and a full LP coming at the end of May. They’ve shared a new song today called “A Tangled Mess” to tease the new material with the band’s brand of post-emo meets alternative sound. It’s really hitting the nostalgia chord with me today, in a vintage, yet refreshing way. Hell yeah.

Oakwood’s new album entitled Blurred Away hits the streets on May 29th. Pre-orders are live now. They’ve algo got a comeback show of sorts planned for the same day at Mohawk featuring a solid lineup of locals opening. We’ll be there!

About Last Night: SXSW Thursday

Leave a comment

Your ATH crew kicked things off for SXSW last night with a slew of official(ish) events around the downtown area and on the east side. It was great to get the band back together for a short night before the madness really begins today and into the weekend. As always, we try to provide the best coverage we can and hit on things in a timely manner. We didn’t see a whole lot last night, but we certainly had some highlights. Check out some quick notes and fancy photos after the jump.

Really just a day or so now before we sort of shut this machine down and head out to cover as much SXSW madness as we can. It’s a new year and I know the crew has a few “must see” bands not to miss this time. Cashier is surely one of those bands on our list, and are seeing a huge rise right now with our indie music community. We are super excited to share their interview answers with you. As always, full responses, show dates and tunes are after the jump.

Phew, what!? You’re telling me SXSW kicks off later THIS WEEK!? Well yeah I knew that, but wow if things didn’t really sneak up on me this year, more so than any prior festival.

We have another preview for you today, this time with Montreal based act Sunforger. As always, full interview, show dates and tunes will be after the jump.

SXSW Interviews 2026 – The Family Battenberg

Leave a comment

Wow yeah, so this year has definitely snuck up on us, and somehow we are just one week out from SXSW staring next week. Many of us are still unsure what to expect with all of the changes coming in, and how we deal with the lack of a large, centralized meeting space. Either way, we will be out and about, doing our thing. Our interview series continues today with another one from a band on my personal must see list – The Family Battenberg. As always, you’ll find the full interview, set times, and tunes after the jump.

SXSW Interviews 2026 – Grrrl Gang

Leave a comment

As promised, here is our very first SXSW interview of 2026 featuring an artist we are super pumped about seeing – Grrrl Gang. We won’t provide much information on the band, as they can surely inform you better than we can. They provide some great insight into touring, what is currently bumping in the tour van, and why they chose to come in for the festival. See all of that, plus current dates after the jump.

SXSW 2026 – A Playlist

Leave a comment

Hard to believe, but it’s that SXSW time again in just a short 10 or so days. While we hear many grumblings from pals about the changing landscape of the festival, we still plan to be out in full force checking out as many bands as we can. Sure, things will be a touch different this year as we maneuver new dates and downtown construction, but we’re planning to roll with it and provide our usual coverage. In the next few days we’ll be dropping some new show announcements, a few of our interviews, and of course, my annual SXSW artist playlist. This thing takes some time people, and I’ve combed the 700+ bands on the official list, to narrow this down to about 60 or so. Please keep in mind – this is tailored to my tastes, so no shade on any artists not on the list. It’s also highly likely that I just missed something… So here ya go, an Apple version and a damn Spotify one too in case you’re still doing that. Seriously, you can just transfer all your tunes out of there…. Stay tuned.

Premiere: Palm Ghosts Drop Indie Pop Hit

Leave a comment

Nashville’s Palm Ghosts are true veterans of the indie rock game, holding a massive discography of tunes over their 10+ years in the game. Just last October they dropped the sleeper hit of the year with their Content Providers LP, and look to continue the feverous paces into the new year. Our premiere today features this new track called “Something’s Off,” which to me, shows a slightly softer touch to the group with more hints of indie pop an synths, compared to prior, heavier work. Post-punk meets a new wave, indie pop gem. Stay tuned for more as the band surely has no plans to slow down.
