New Music From Kindest Lines

April 19, 2011 RayRay 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

April 19, 2011 RayRay 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. (via AQD)

More New Music from Wilderness of Manitoba

April 18, 2011 nathan.lankford 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

April 18, 2011 nathan.lankford 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.

New Song from Futurebirds

April 15, 2011 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

You’ve got to love a song that relies upon sweeping group harmonies to get its point across. This new track from the Futurebirds will be features on their Futurebirds EP that comes out next week on Autumntone. Oddly, this track really feels like it epitomizes those waning feelings of summer as you move into the autumnal season. Listening to this over and over just sort of leaves me hanging my thoughts in the clouds. Perhaps it’s the perfect time for escapism, and “Dirty D” does its job wonderfully.

New Music From Gardens & Villa

April 15, 2011 RayRay Leave a comment

Heres a new track from Santa Barbara based outfit Gardens & Villa that I’ve been digging for the last few days. The song has a thumping electro bass beat running the show with some great vocals throughout. You can hear this track and 9 more new songs from the band on their upcoming debut self-titled LP due out July 5th on Secretly Canadian.

More New Music from The Bankees

April 15, 2011 nathan.lankford One comment

One of our readers pointed us in the direction of this new track, as it’s hard to keep up with the Bankees, as they haven’t gotten a lot of love from the US press, not to mention there just isn’t a lot of info out there on the band. But, apparently they’ve just recorded this wonderful new track, which reminds me of Comet Gain so they can help raise money for those in Japan in need. A good cause, and a good song? Yea, go help out HERE. And if this isn’t good enough for you, prepare for the band to release another LP later this year.

New Track from Wax Museums

April 14, 2011 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

The incestuous punk rock scene in Texas is alive and well, and I’m grateful for that fact. Wax Museums returns to the forefront of the movement with their latest release, Eye Times, after a three year hiatus, which will be in stores June 28th via Trouble in Mind Records. Lyrically, you’ll probably find the track to be a touch on the simple side, but it’s such a quick power-driven number that you can’t help but get attached from the moment those drums clash with the guitars in a cacophonous moment of energy and melody. With members from Bad Sports, Silver Shampoo and Mind Spiders, there’s not a reason in the world why this won’t be super awesome.
