more than any other day – Austin Town Hall

Show Preview: Ought @ The Sidewinder (5.20)

May 19, 2016 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

When More Than Any Other Day came out, I was amazed that more people weren’t clamoring for Ought. They were crafting artful punk out of mundane storytelling, providing commentary on the everyday world with a unique perspective that I, honestly, have found nearly unmatched. Then they offered up Sun Coming Down, which piqued a bit more interest, but still hasn’t garnered them the fandom they deserve. So Friday, do yourself a huge favor, head to the Sidewinder and witness something you aren’t likely to see anywhere else in town, or anywhere else in the larger music community for that matter. Check out the video from their latest release on Constellation Records, and join me Friday; US Weekly and Priests will be opening…doors are at 8 PM.

Brand New Ought!!!

July 7, 2015 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Ought caught me off-guard with their brilliant blend of art rock and post punk on their debut, More Than Any Other Day. It was probably one of the most refreshing albums that came out last year, and they’re back again with brand new music for you. If you were lucky enough to catch the band on their tour spree, then you likely heard this song in their live set, and it’s a great recorded version, though it gets an entirely different presentation in the live setting. The new album is called Sun Coming Down, and it’s set for a September release via Constellation Records. Seriously folks, this is probably one of the best young acts around.

Listen to the Brand New Ought Song

August 22, 2014 nathan.lankford

If you haven’t listened to More Than Any Other Day by Ought, then I’m feeling sort of bad for you now. That record has won me over time and time again, not to mention their live show was pretty stellar, if not better than expected. Fortunately (and unfortunately sort of) they’ve got a new song from a new EP. But, in order to listen to it, you have to stream the two songs before it (or just skip right to the 10 minute mark) from other bands on the Constellation Records roster; you CR folks are tricky! Still, you’ll do well to make sure you’re well acquainted with this act because I’ll probably be raving about them for some time to come.
