Another Hit From Avid Walker

Leave a comment

avidwalkerepinseptemberI discovered Vancouver based Avid Walker earlier this year and I’ve been eagerly awaiting more music from the band over the last couple of months.  Well today is my lucky day with news of another single from the group entitled “Sun In Eyes”.  This bright and easy going music is so easy to get into, and honestly, I don’t see why everyone isn’t jumping on this bandwagon faster.  I expect even bigger things from these guys in the future.

Stay tuned for more information on an upcoming debut EP this Fall.

Bonus Track From Moon Duo!

Leave a comment

unnamed-2Whenever a band that just released an album throws another track your way, you take it. Moon Duo, the psychedelic rockers who released Shadow of the Sun earlier this year, have a bonus song from that release to share with you today called “Fadeaway” and it’s packed with even more of that great gritty psych rock that you love from these two. Who knows when we’ll hear from this band again, so take pleasure in the extra track below and if you haven’t already, check out Shadow of the Sun, which is out via Sacred Bones Records.

Small Black Give Us Even More

Leave a comment

unnamedIt’s been a busy year for Small Black and Team ATH has already shared two new singles from the band so we might as well go on and share a third.  This one is called “Back at Bells” and is yet again another gem sure to get you more fired up for the band’s new album.  What else is left to say really?

Don’t forget to pick up Best Blues on October 16th via Jagjaguwar.

Why Aren’t You Listening to Wildhoney?!?

Leave a comment

10636662_868611053203947_3628233110282321580_oI’m pretty sure we warned you (through the help of our friends warning us) about how great Wildhoney is? Personally, one of my favorites shows this year included them playing with Expert Alterations at Cheer Ups earlier this year…then caught them again a few weeks later at Hotel Vegas. The Baltimore act crafts a brand of shoegaze that is often bombastic and abrasive, yet can turn in an instant to an innocent fragility that softens the heart. They’re back again already with the brand new Your Face Sideways EP, which is being released by Topshelf on October 16th.

ATH Premiere: Meet Stiletto Feels

One comment

stilettofeels-1We here at ATH have long been fans of the craftsmanship of Geoff Earle, formerly of Freshmillions, who now has a brand new project we’d like to introduce you to (and a new record label-GTZ): Stiletto Feels. I’ve been listening to this track quite a bit since Geoff passed it our way; it’s like a blend of Ratatat and MSTRKFT, but with a really smooth soul vocal added to it. You can groove or you can dance, but you’re going to fall in love. It’s going to be the first release for Earle’s new label, GTZ Records, who will be celebrating with a nice Single Release Party on Saturday night over at Empire Control Room. Get into the song below.

ATX Spotlight: A Little Rock From Sally Crewe

Leave a comment

16576_10151818956882437_758950477_nIf you’re looking for rock music disguised as pop music with flairs of garage rock, then look no further than Austin’s own Sally Crewe. Crewe’s been around for a while, but she’s turning heads with this new single and title track of her upcoming album, “Later Than You Think,” which shows off her skills in the field of rock and roll. At first, the track seems like a solid rock tune showcasing the pop vocals and guitar hooks, but about two thirds of the way in, it takes a little turn for the darkness, and this is where Crewe really shines.  Sally Crewe is releasing Later Than You Think on September 22nd via 8 Track Mind.

Blast This New Track from Chomp

Leave a comment

10917920_785601878196428_795133212361893412_oChomp‘s a three-piece rock act from Ohio, and I’m definitely digging their style. It blends a bit of art rock with hints of late 90s emo/punk. But, it also has this death march bass line that works throughout the track as the guitar squeals into your air; there’s an air of danger in the song…so if that’s your thing. October 9th will see the release of their Bruise Control EP via the good people at Mirror Universe Tapes, so take a trip and turn the stereo up!

Ezra Furman Covers The Replacements

Leave a comment

ezraI’m not sure exactly where I sit on the Ezra Furman fence; I think I’m straddling as we speak. That might change now that he’s chosen to cover a Replacements song, and not just any song, but perhaps my favorite track from the band, period: “Androgynous.” It’s a pretty decent job too, thus why I figured I would be okay with sharing it with you (as if there were any rules). You’ll be able to find this version on the deluxe release of his latest album, Perpetual Motion People; I’m thinking this tune might just convince you to pick it up yourself.

Gem Of A Track From Gramma’s Boyfriend

Leave a comment

11181087_964236080284251_3366262575382778148_nGramma’s Boyfriend, who currently hail out of the Twin Cities of Minnesota, are about to blow your mind on this Wednesday. They’ve debuted the killer track that I have for you below, “Forget The Stones” a few weeks back, but trust me when I say that you don’t want to miss out on this tune. It’s a perfect blend of genre, with pulsating synths that never stop, tart guitars that pierce the mix, and hazy power vocals that add a layer of mystique to the music. The track is at once immediately intriguing, grabbing your attention right out of the gate, but then the layers of the tune will keep you coming back again and again. Gramma’s Boyfriend are releasing their sophomore album, Perm, via Graveface Records on October 9th, so don’t miss out on that one. Preorder it here.

Show Preview: King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard @ Sidewinder (TONIGHT)

Leave a comment

kinggizzardI have yet to make my way over to Sidewinder Austin yet, but tonight seems like the absolutely perfect time to make it out there. For one, the venue’s had a few days to work out the kinks, right? But, another plus is the psychedelic act King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard are blowing into town; I’ve heard nothing short of raves about their live show, which is enough to convince me to make it out there. Still, Michael Rault and hometown heroes Hundred Visions are taking the stage early to kick the night off, so it’s the perfet way to spend your evening. The doors are at 7 PM, so you won’t have to stay out drastically late, and your night will be filled with great hits left and right. Come on, you know wanna.
