Metayouth Drops Speech Balloon in June

Didn’t want the world to think I’d gone completely soft, so when I stumbled upon this little rocker from Metayouth, I was totally ready to just post it for you. The track’s just this heavy riff working on tearing through the fabric of your speakers. Put your ear close, that’s not the only thing tearing through, as you can hear singer Dakota tearing through the wall of noise to offer up just the faintest dose of pop sensibility. It kind of feels like the whole world is full of promise, like we’re just all here pushing forward to tomorrow. Feel free to leave the rest of this shitty year in the rearview and push ahead with this jammer!

Show Preview & Interview: Photo-Ops with Tracyanne & Danny at 3TEN ACL Live 2/8

Friday night has some great options for you this weekend here in the ATX, and while it’s going to be a bit chilly out, I’ve got the perfect show to keep you nice and warm. Tracyanne & Danny are bringing along Photo-Ops to 3TEN ACL Live for a night of indie pop that is bound to dispel all bad vibes from the cold front. Opener Photo-Ops dropped a killer single that I shared with you last week, and has new materials in the works that are all sunshine. Tracyanne (of Camera Obscura) & Danny put out a killer record last year that checks the box of bedroom pop with stunning vocals and a little bit of bluegrass-ish swagger to it. You can buy pretty cheap tickets here, which I suggest you do, as it’s gonna be a great evening. Terry Price, the man behind Photo-Ops, obliged us to give us some brief answers to some random questions. Tunes and interview are after the jump!
