Grand Archives is a band we feel strongly about because they were one of the first bands we had the chance to interview when we started this site over a year ago. Oh and we like their music too… The Seattle based band recently wrapped recording on their sophomore LP effort and first single, “Oslo Novelist” is available for your previewing pleasure now. Keep in Mind Frankenstein will be in stores September 15th via Sub Pop.

We recently ran a feature on new Austin band TV Torso so we’re excited to see that they’ll be playing two shows in Austin on Thursday. The first is an End of an Ear in-store at 6pm followed by a full on headlining set at Mohawk later in the evening. The Mohawk show also features locals Pink Nasty and fellow A2W band The Authors. That show starts around 10pm on the inside stage. Check our Artist to Watch feature on TV Torso for more information about the band.

So I’m not really sure who this DJ Tiesto guy is, but apparently he was some sort of big deal in the techno/trance scene in the 90s. We bring him up because he’s about to drop a new album with a star studded guest list including indie popsters (and ATH fave) Tegan & Sara. We haven’t heard much from the Quinn sisters recently, so we’ll have to settle for this dance hall jam with DJ Tiesto. You can also expect brand new LP Sainthood from the twin sister duo in late October. This track, “I Feel it in My Bones”, is not confirmed for the girl’s album but will appear on Tiesto’s upcoming album Kaleidoscope due out October 20th.

One of our favorite new bands, Headlights, has a new album coming out soon. Â The album is titled Wildlife, and it comes out October 6th on Polyvinyl. This new track has a bit of a different touch, although it’s still brimming with pop, there is a certain element of lo-fi fuzz added. Â You can try out the song, and check out the band on tour this fall.
