Brand New American Wrestlers

Leave a comment

americanI really enjoyed the first American Wrestlers effort, and now that they’re back, readying Goodbye Terrible Youth, I’m paying close attention. This tune’s interesting, as the vocals are delivered in a rather calm manner, almost as if they’re resting during the verses. Of course, that’s all purposeful as they explode during the chorus, which you can feel as the guitar builds tension throughout the track,ringing heavily in the background. Their new record is being handled by Fat Possum, with a release date of November 4th, just in case you needed to pencil in some time.

ATX Spotlight: More from Walker Lukens

Leave a comment

walkerNext week you’ll be able to get your hands on the delightful new EP from Walker Lukens, and before it comes out, you may as well give a listen to his brand new track . If you’ve been listening to Walker for a bit, as we all have, you’ll surely notice the broadening sound he’s adapted…not to mention studio time with Jim Eno. There’s just such a huge bit of energy to what he’s doing it at the moment, and I can’t see myself turning this song off today. He’s releasing the EP via our friends at Modern Outsider next Friday, with a rad show at ACL Ten to celebrate. Turn it up loud and enjoy yourself!

Scooterbabe Give You Great Pop Punk

Leave a comment

scooterbabeIt seems like the trend these days is to make super short tracks, which is all fine and dandy, until some band like Scooterbabe comes around with the track “Sick Spine,” which just makes me crave more from the band! This song features a lovely addition to the Scooterbabe sound in the form of vocals from Jianna Justice, and it looks like we can expect more of her presence on the upcoming record from the band. The track is short, but it’s also a lovely example of jangly pop-punk, with great lyrics and toe-tapping percussion. Take a listen.

The Sorrow You’ve Been Toting Around, their debut full length, will be out November 4th.

Premiere: Bubbles Brown Cover Nirvana (kind of)

Leave a comment

bubblesbrownI just wanted to grab your attention, as I think Bubbles Brown, knowing their style, are really covering Lead Belly. Sure, the Nirvana link gets a lot more attention, as radio stations won’t stop playing it, but now you have a more soulful version (as it was originally intended) to add to your collection. I love the sound of Bubbles here, pulling out the old school Southern drawl with his vocals; it’s refreshing to hear someone yank at the heartstrings and sound wholly refreshing. The two piece releasetheir brand new Oh Sure Volume One EPtoday, which will feature this nod, but don’t forget to revisit their recent release, Mt. Gilead too…you won’t wanna miss it.

Check Out These Sofar Sessions From Your ATH Faves

Leave a comment

athrecsY’all should know by now that the bands on Austin Town Hall Records are excellent, but in case you were having any doubts about that (you’re crazy) or were wanting more to love from these bands, you’re definitely in luck, as two of our very own have recorded live Songs From a Room sessions. Below, you can see the alt-country boys of Plantation do a rendition of “Your Bones” or catch the chill vibes of Summer Salt as they do a version of “Time Away From Home.” On “Your Bones” you get the bleeding emotional alt-country that Plantation does so well, and on “Time Away From Home,” Summer Salt go acoustic and allow the vocals to really soar. Take a listen and then go snag copies ofMostIntellectualand theGoing Native EP from the ATH Records Store.

Fresh El Campo Tunes

Leave a comment

elcampWe’re big fans of El Campo over here at ATH, and the band are giving away a few new hits today…so we figured you should take notice. The first is a newly pinned hit, building on the expansive sound the band have continuously built over their last few releases…adding depth to the current sound of Americana; the musicianship alone should warrant your ears. Then, they spin a new sound on Desaparecidos recent hit, “City on the Hill.” Honestly, this version is way better than the original, and the lyrics seem quite fitting to the band’s sound. They’re giving these tunes away, in hopes that you’ll be in love enough to come back for more…and I promise you will.

More Music from Lost Animal

Leave a comment

lostanimalThis new Lost Animal single is exactly what I wanted today! This is precisely where I always expected pop music to go, and I’m thoroughly excited by tunes like this one. The music working in the background makes nods to the popularity of LCD Soundsystem (thought James Murphy didn’t create it), but the vocals have this incredible post Brit pop croon. It’s like Jarrod Quarrell is just working in his own world, and no matter where that takes him, he always manages to make it sound captivating. The new record is titled You Yang, coming out on October 21st via Dot Dash/Captured Tracks.

Dagars Play Space Pop

Leave a comment

dagarsI’m really excited about the return of Grandaddy, but I’ve always been looking for like-minded groups to really give it a go at taking the reigns, much like Dallas’ Dagars do. True, they’re a little bit more spaced and atmospheric, but the vibe is definitely similar. They’ve also noted Boards of Canada as an influence, and you can hear some of the bits of sampling in this track too. It’s cool to hear acts replicating a genre that really fascinated me and let me drift away in the world.

Fresh New Jacuzzi Boys

Leave a comment

jacuzziBeen staying away from the rockers as of late, but I can’t ever get away from listening to Jacuzzi Boys. This new jam opens with a vocal working atop a jagged guitar in the background, maximizing pop sensibility. Just after the 1 minute mark hits, the drums jump into the party, creating a buzzy bit of pop rock that’s sure. Imagine a huge wall of sound made up of everything you love at the moment, and that’ll pretty much sumup this jam of a track. Look for their new album, Ping Pong, to hit on October 28th via Mag Mag, and an Austin show on 11.2.
