New Alt-Rock Jam From Thistle.

Leave a comment

While we were closed up on Friday for some holiday, Northampton based upstarts thistle. released this bangin’ new single called “it’s nice to see you, stranger” and I had to share it this morning. It has a groovy, sort of alt-rock grungy vibe to it, loaded with fuzzed out guitars and subdued vocals. Noisy, a tad hazy – love it. If you’re into it, the band has a new 5 song EP of the same name which you can stream on bandcamp now. Physical copies of the release are currently up for pre-order now via Venn Records.

Dreamy New Tune From Deleterolf

Leave a comment

Things will likely be a bit slow this week as people shut ease into a holiday weekend on Friday. Before then, we of course have a few songs to throw your way for mid-week and weekend vibing. Though it’s early yet, this new track called “Used to Be” from Zurich based artist deleterolf is my frontrunner for your track of the week. It has a super dreamy, yet driving vibe to it an gives off the quiet beauty of say Efterklang mixed with Beach House. I am sure you’ll love it.

Glimmer Drop Another Hit

Leave a comment

New York based group Glimmer has been slowly releasing hit after hit over the last couple of years or so. Today we’ve been notified that a debut album is finally coming sometime this fall, which will feature this new jam “Sorrow Again.” It’s a sludgy, grungy gem of a tune and I will seriously start questioning your tastes if you don’t like or have yet to discover this band. We’ll keep you posted as deets trickle in on the new album, but in the meantime, enjoy this one.

White Reaper Return With Honestly

Leave a comment

It’s been a wild week with some of our ATH mainstays dropping new tunes, and today seems to be no different with old time Kentucky favorites White Reaper also hitting us with something fresh. This one has really lifted my spirits in knowing the band plans to carry on after some recent turmoil over the last couple of years with lineup changes, label issues, and general burnout. With this new track, “Honestly,” my heart is happy to hear a band dealing with the struggle lyrically while still churning out a fantastic rock n roll hit. Things do get a touch poppier here with more keys and softer bass, so change is coming, but I for one welcome the evolution and welcome the boys back.

This track is part of the new White Reaper album entitled One Slightly Empty which is due out on September 26th via the band’s new label Blue Grape Music.

A-Z Benefit Show @ Alienated Majesty Books 6.29

Leave a comment

It’s well known that we ATH kids love our old emo and 00s indie music, hell, it’s how this whole thing got started in the first place. So it would make sense for us to naturally feel a connection with upstart emo and indie booking collective Tiny Sounds. They’ve got some great local bands associated with the project and also just got a fancy Austin Chronicle Award for being the best emo bookers in town. We pick up what they putting down.

On Sunday the 29th, Tiny Sounds have this sick show going down at Alienated Majesty Books in West Campus featuring three of their best bands covering some of our all time favorites. Drunk Uncle comes in as Modest Mouse, Minuano will cover Bright Eyes, and Boyd will be acting as Pedro the Lion. We plan to be there singing along and you should too! Best of all, this is a benefit for the A-Z scholarship at Del Valle High School. All proceeds will go to support this scholarship for a top arts student at DV high school. Emo and supporting our students? You know we’re about that. Show is at 7:30 with a $10 cover.

Another Hit From The Beths

Leave a comment

Look, we absolutely love The Beths and everything they have done since that stunning debut Future Me Hates Me back in 2018. Seriously, one of our favorite bands to emerge recently, and consistently a contender for year end lists. This new track, “No Joy,” is really no different and I am finding myself currently playing it over and over to make it through the day. We love this band and you should too.

As previously mentioned, The Beths will release new album Straight Line Was a Lie on August 29th via Anti- Records. Pre-orders are live now!

Premiere: Harmony From Porcelain

Leave a comment

When some folks around here try to claim that the Austin music scene is “dead” or somehow “not like the old days,” I usually just respond that those people simply aren’t paying attention. As an example, locals Porcelain put out this amazing self-titled LP last year that totally rips and should have been seen on even more year ends lists. Making things even more exciting, the band has more new tunes planned this year, including this new track called “Harmony.” It will introduce itself with a pure force of energy, matching gritty vocals with a total alt-rock meets grunge feel. You simply must check it out below.

This song is part of a new single EP which is available for purchase this Friday, July 9th via fellow local label Todo Records.

Premiere: MK Naomi Revive the Emo Vibes

Leave a comment

Our past emo selves continue to emerge here in the ATH offices as many new bands keep hitting us with those past life vibes. For many of us, myself included, those mid-west days never truly left and I am loving the emergence of new groups like Boston’s MK Naomi who not only carry the torch, yet evolve and grow the sound. New single “Wasserland,” as example, certainly has a Rainer Maria, pop emo feeling, but also adds in these lovely vocal harmonies and tight drum fills to create something fresh. Keep these coming!

Say hi to MK Naomi on IG or pre-order their new EP Dream Hiss on bandcamp. It’s out on June 20th and comes in a fancy purple cassette version!

Check Out Alive from Ghostwoman

Leave a comment

Canadian duo and powerhouse GHOSTWOMAN came on our team’s radar back in 2022 with the release of their debut, self-title LP. This year the pair have some planned European fall tour dates along with a brand new LP entitled Welcome to the Civilized World coming near the end of summer. Of course new tunes will be incoming as the release date draws closer, including this new jam called “Alive.” I can already envision myself heading into West Texas with this one as I hit the road and melt into the groovy Americana of it all. Sometimes our friends to the north can make the best southern states inspired tunes.

Pre-orders for Welcome to the Civilized World are live now via Full Time Hobby. The album is out on September 5th.

Hotline TNT Deliver Again

Leave a comment

Hey, Hotline TNT is coming into town tomorrow at ACL Live and you should definitely join me there! They open up for Hippo Campus and tickets are still available. As if they are heavily promoting the Texas dates, the NYC upstarts also just dropped this new tune called “Break Right” and I am excited for the potential to see it live tomorrow. It leans a bit more into a softer melody at first as it slowly builds into some lovely moments of classic indie rock. Beautiful song.

Hotline TNT will release this track as part of their new album Raspberry Moon which is due out June 20th via Third Man Records. Pre-orders are live now.
