SXSW 2026 – First Round of Artists
Some things have been announced, y’all, though we have no clue what SXSW will be with the convention center as the epicenter.

But, one thing I’ve always appreciated it that a lot of country’s send their favorite artists abroad to spread the word on their art scenes…and Scotland’s Cloth is one such group we’re excited to get to know better when they make their way next week. They’ve got a new record titled Pink Silence coming out in April, so take a quick read below and get to know them!
I’ll keep this simple.
