Last Week’s Jams (11.17 – 11.21)
Okay, okay. So we didn’t crush it this last week, but I still feel like if you’re looking for a pound for pound playlist of solid hits under an hour, our coverage is primo. We’ve got brand new stuff from We Are Joiners, featuring one of my favorite chorus moments of the last several months. Plus, if you haven’t heard Lola, which I hadn’t, you should fix that before it’s too late. Like me, maybe a subtle guitar pop tune from the New Tigers makes your week, or maybe you want to get swept away in the synth pop of Pet Owner. I’m not sure where to lead you, but I promise there are worst places to spend an hour of your Monday.
We’re almost there friends, and I promise we’re going to all make it to Friday; we’ve got this great track from Portland’s 
In playing catch-up from Spring Break, we covered quite a bit of new music, though I may have run out of steam at week’s end. Still, we brought you some new music from Austin artists like Sophia Warren, Adrian Quesada, Will Johnson and Day Friend. Unfortunately, the Day Friend was your sneak peek before their show this Friday at 13th Floor, so we’ll include that in next week’s jams. We also got to premiere a brand new Why Bother jam, so be sure to give that one a listen. Some of my personal favorites from the week are down below, like a new Dumb Things single, as well as fresh Pachyman to boot. And as always, the sounds are all over the place, from the folk of Swedes Egentid to the crazy joyousness of Johnny Maraca‘s garage punk! Play it all below!
We covered a whole lot of ground last week, as there’s always tons of music spilling out into the world. I was really high upon the new track from Daisies, which is why its leading our playlist. There were also tons of ATH regulars like the Reds Pinks and Purples, Lachlan Denton, Jana Horn, Dippers and the High Water Marks. Plus, with SXSW on the horizon, we did tons of little meet and greet posts with the bands: Blondeshell, Meernaa, Foamboy and more. So find a song you love, and go check out what we hit up last week!
SXSW is on the horizon for all of us, so we’re pushing forward with our coverage of acts, hoping we can introduce you to a few folks you might want to catch when you’re out and about. So today, we’ve got Portland’s
