Looking back at last week, there was tons of really great stuff out there, and admittedly, there are a few things we just didn’t have time to get to on our end. But, stoked for Austin, as there was great new music from Being Dead, Transy Warhol, Holy Wire and new project Feeling Small. My favorite track from the most recent Blues Laywer LP got a video treatment, so I had to have that one out. RayRay covered that huge banger from Night Beats, who will be in town for Psych Fest. And, one of my favorite SXSW acts Snooper announced their new LP too, so you get a bunch of winning hits!

Blues Laywer Drop Video for Someone Else

April 14, 2023 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

How can you listen to a Blues Lawyer song like “Someone Else” and skip by? Drums and guitars and vocals all drop in simultaneously, immediately bringing in a rush of enjoyment to your ears. There’s something in this tune that feels like a classic 90s alt rock jam, offering up a warm melody with the faintest grit from guitar distortion ringing beneath the surface. But, for me, the selling point comes in the brief rhythm switch from the drums right at the 1:50 mark, setting up this mantra that explodes into this joyous bit of power pop to close the tune. If you haven’t purchased your copy of All in Good Time, then what the hell are you waiting for!? And, if you’re fortunate enough to live in the PNW, they’ll be running a quick tour through next week with Chime School!
