Get Swept Away With Poussin

Poussin is a relatively new French band with a new single I’ve been enjoying over the last day or so. It’s quite difficult to find information about the group online as most of their content is posted in Frenchand Google searches return some odd hits. Whether we know much about them or not, I’m sure you can enjoy the beauty in this song called “The Rose and the Flame”. It reminds me a lot of North Carolina based Lost in the Trees, but with a bit more build up and rocking moments near the end.

Stay tuned as we receive more information on this new French group.

Introducing Tamarron

1376773278-1

As an Austin based website, we work hard to bring you tunes from local bands that are worthy of your time that might not be getting the publicity they deserve.  Today my new Austin discovery is a group called Tamarron who is lead by a young chap named Chad Doriocourt.  Now not much information can be found about the band, as they are so new, but we can tell you that Chad just finished self-recording a 4 song EP with his bandmates which can be streamed over on bandcamp.  Below you can find one of their best songs from that EP “Saucy”.  You’ll immediately notice the band have a very raw sort of surf rock sound that could be compared to ATH approved Houstonians Young Girls.  It’s a great sound that truly shows a lot of promise for a band that could be a household name around Austin if they play their cards right.  Stay tuned for more information about this new and upcoming band Tamarron.
