ATX Spotlight: Meet Garland

September 8, 2015 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Garland sent over some songs our way early this week, and the big single is pretty much a guaranteed indie rock hit. It’s the second time in a matter of a few days where I’ve been taken back to early 2000s indie rock, which as I’ve previously stated is one of my favorite eras. You might actually recognize the man behind the project, as Spencer Garland has played in various ATX bands, most notably working behind the keys for Berkshire Hounds. We’ll keep you posted on record release plans and all that, but we wanted Garland on your radar as soon as we could get it there.

Austin Spotlight: Berkshire Hounds

September 5, 2013 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Here’s a new piece of catchy rock n’ roll that just made it into our mailbox today: Berkshire Hounds. I can definitely see how they’ve got a rhythmic groove to the work their crafting, backed with crunchy guitar sounds that erupt in line with the vocals. Why does this song standout to my ears? It’s the usage of the saxophone, adding an element to this blend of indie rock that we’re not typically used to hearing. The group’s still in the early phases of their existence, but you this single should hold you over until the band release their next full-length later on this fall.
