Pollen RX Are Back

Sunbelt Emptiness should be required listening for all humans, so get on that HERE. But, more importantly, Pollen Rx are back with new music! The group, as ever, remain undeniably catchy; I love how the surfy guitars work to set the scene for Maud’s vocal performance. Perhaps more important is the message the band is brandishing; the band describe this tune as their response to the ‘pervasive sexualization of women and the elevation of young women.’ It’s one of the things that make Pollen Rx so vital in our musical scene; they can deliver a hook as good as any other, but its important to note that there’s always an underlying message. Austinites will recognize this tune as a standout of the band’s recent live performances, but the rest of you should check out their tour dates as they head out in June on their way up to Chicago and back!

Stream the Pollen Rx and Celebrate at Cheer Up Charlies

Yesterday, Bullett Magazine blessed us by streaming the Pollen RX debut LP, Sunbelt Emptiness; there’s even a great interview with members of the band that help detail the ideas behind the record….read about it HERE. But, we also wanted to make sure you have it in as many places possible, so we felt like we should also include the stream below, with a way to pick it up from us here at ATH Records. Plus, even better news is that the band will be blasting these great tunes by celebrating with their friends tomorrow night over at Cheer Up Charlies. You should come out and get your hands on a copy, or just simply enjoy the great tunes! Album is below…grab it while its hot!

Check Out This New Pollen RX Tune

pollenSo, as we wrap up the rad year of 2016, I’m already looking towards what ATH Records can bring you in 2017! First up, the brilliant band of popsters, Pollen Rx, aim to take Austin by storm with their excellent debut, Sunbelt Emptiness. It was recorded here in town by Ian Rundell, and I think he killed it; it’s filled to the brim with the perfect blend of punk and pop, discord and harmony. I can guarantee you there’s not a bad hit on this record, but you should judge for yourself by listening to this new single (a demo version was floating around, but it’s since been re-recorded). Look for the LP from us on January 27, or pre-order it HERE.
