Nihilistic Easyrider Shares Two New Jams
Jacob Duarte is already a fairly big name in these parts of Texas, known for his role as the front person in Narrow Head. But, the last month or so we’ve been focused on jamming to his Nihilistic Easyrider solo work, bringing you two fresh tunes to jam to today. You can almost take these two songs as a split, one showing Duarte’s leanings towards a softer bit of indie rock, while the other harkens to his pop punk roots. I loved the guitar playing on “Weekend Fever,” as it definitely feels like stuff you heard in the late 90s emo scene; the guitar lines show some great musicianship too, so I don’t want you overlooking that! “Facedown” is a bit more aggressive in nature, like the best Saves the Day song that was never written…and its brief, so you’ll want to dive in real quick!

It was a shortened work, so we crammed in a good 20 tracks to get you covered in the newest and coolest from “the underground.” Really loved some of the stuff coming out of the West Coast, like new Galore and The Wind-Ups; Texas had some decent representation too, with new Teethe, The Stayres, Alien Eyelid and Nuclear Daisies tunes making their way onto the playlist. Old favorites Quality Used Cars and the Radio Field made solid returns, and I found myself super stoked to have stumbled upon Madrone (whom you should all check out immediately). Dig in and see if there’s something rad you love…and if so let us know!
