New Music From Beat Radio

Leave a comment

Hailing from the NYC area, Beat Radio are a band lead by the songwriting skills and hard work of frontman Brian Sendrowitz.  Over the last two years, Sendrowitz has compiled 3 full length LPs with many lineup changes making it difficult to maintain a steady flow.  To be perfectly honest, I knew little to nothing about this band until they sent me an email with the title track to their recently released Golden Age LP.  After the first listen, I was immediately drawn to the creative backing drum beat supporting the song.  Now that the track has gotten a few more spins in the ‘ol itunes, I’m impressed with the pop melodies of the song as a whole.  The new album from Beat Radio is available for purchase on their bandcamp as a limited edition vinly or digitally.

New(ish) Track from Conversion Party

Leave a comment

So we might be a few weeks late to this, um, party, but make no mistake, we’re fully getting behind Conversion Party over here at the ATH offices. The band is putting out their Favors EP, and will have a nice little show to celebrate in New York on May 7th, but the rest of us can still enjoy the band’s tunes.  This track has the feel of a Scottish act, namely that of Frightened Rabbit, but that jagged guitar that cuts through the entirety of the track gets me each time.  If you look hard you can find the rest of the tracks floating about, but we suggest you go ahead and get your hands on Favors, as it’s just a stepping stone to something really exciting.

More New Music from Snowmine

Leave a comment

A few weeks back I brought you a stunningly beautiful track from Snowmine, and as we draw closer to the release of their record, Laminate Pet Animal, on May 3rd, more tracks are slowly leaking out.  This newer track takes it’s time to build you up, as you anticipate some sort of soudn explosion.  While the band does give in, it’s not quite as strong as you would expect, showing great restraint to maintain the band’s song structure and sound, rather than indulge in the quiet/loud formula of modern lore.  It’s hard not to fall for this band at the moment, crafting gently moving melodic pieces of wonderment.

New Music From The National

Leave a comment

I’m sure many of you ATH faithful readers realize that when a new song by The National pops up around the web, we’ll be posting it when we get the chance whether you’ve heard it elsewhere already or not.  For me and most of this crew, last year really was an impressive year for the band.  They put out the steller LP High Violet, toured like crazy, and quietly released some awesome B-sides and new tunes like the one below.  This track called “Exile Vilify” is oddly enough set to appear on the soundtrack for upcoming videogame Portal 2.  These guys continue to amaze me all the time.

New Track from Pink Frost

Leave a comment

Listening to Chicago band Pink Frost, you can see that there’s a lot more of a darker undertone to their music than perhaps the band’s name might dictate.  Despite that, they’ve crafted this beautiful little self-titled EP, which has these sprawling tendencies with the guitars, yet holds close to those melodies.  Vocals sound soft and quiet, providing you with clarity to really allow yourself to focus on lyrics, along with the mood created by the band. Don’t be scared of the dark leaning photo above, as pop sensibility certainly dwells within this band’s catalog.

New Music From Kindest Lines

Leave a comment

New Orleans based outfit Kindest Lines have been building a steady amount of praise amongst the blogging community as of late and I’m now ready to give them the ATH stamp of approval.  Below you can find the track called “Baltimore” that’s seems to be popping up on every semi-popular hypem blog this side of the Mississippi.  The eerily familiar sounding new wave style guitar riffs behind an awesome voice from Brittany Terry and a better than average synth beat has made for a unique take on the shoegaze movement.  I can’t quite put my finger on a good label for this band, but isn’t that usually what makes the great ones great?  A debut LP, Covered in Dust, from Kindest Lines is due out June 15th on Weird Records.

Date 4/20/11
Location La Zona Rosa
Doors 7pm
Tickets $20 @ Frontgate

The crazy mad week of shows we have in Austin continues on Wednesday night with a show by veteran duo The Kills at La Zona Rosa.  I’m sure most of you know the ATH fascination with Allison Mosshart so we promote that you find your way towards the front of the stage and enjoy the show.  Making the evening that much more enticing, solid opening bands Cold Cave and The Entrance Band will also be on hand.  This also gives us a great reason to finally share the band’s latest single “Satellite” which somehow never made it onto the site.

New Music From Henry Clay People

Leave a comment

This new song “California Wildfire” from Cali based band The Henry Clay People has sparked my rock n roll interest today.  The band apparently is using this tune to promote a new EP entitled This is a Desert which is due out on TBD Records sometime this May.  Enjoy the tune and keep up the rock.

More New Music from Wilderness of Manitoba

Leave a comment

Surely I should be listening to happier music with this amazing Austin weather right? Well, I probably should, but this Wilderness in Manitoba record, along with a few other gems from the likes of Other Lives, has me in sort of this experimental sad-bastard mode.  Who knows, maybe this is where I get my sunshine? Anyways, WoM will be releasing their album, When You Left the Fire, on May 10th via Tinyogre.  This new track emphasizes the band’s ability to craft songs with more than just your average contemporary folk appeal, using a bit of a atmospheric wash to open it up.  Hold on though, as majestic melodies wait for you. Having a great listening experience with this whole album today.

New Track from Cassettes Wont Listen

3 comments

My roommate is super into Def Jux, the old hip-hop label, so when he ran at me with this track, I had a feeling I was just going to be polite, say it was good, and move on, but I can’t help it (or him for that matter).  This new song from former Def Jux producer, Jason Drake aka Cassettes Wont Listen, is pretty up my alley, especially when it comes to high energy electronica with hints of lo-fi bedroom pop. Cassettes Wont Listen have a new record titled KEVINSPACEY coming out June 21st on Daylight Curfew, and it’s a sample driven album, yet if you’re basing it off this song, it will be filled with killer melody too. Sample the samples.
