Last Week’s Jams (3.24 – 3.28)

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!

The Slashes Share War Candy Single

San Diego’s The Slashes gave me a rush of blood to the head with this new single. Guitars race right into your ear, ripping up these angular notes that make you twirl and stop the floor all at once. Everything feels frantic and dangerous, but the vocals do their part to offset that vibe, teasing a bit of solace amidst the swirling textures. Those vocal tones are so heavy that they manage to weigh down the guitar and drums, so it creates this really intoxicating effect as you can feel both pieces working in contrast to one another. Crank it up and fall for this ripper.
