Last Week’s Jams (7.21 – 7.25)

Leave a comment

My summer vacation is about to wrap up, so I’ve been trying to cram as much rock n’ roll into the site as I can, and I feel like nearing 30 new songs is a pretty solid outing. There was new stuff from ever-present acts like Gregor, Cate Le Bon, Giant Day and more. Plus, there were some brand newish acts popping up on the scene that I think are certainly worth everyone’s time: The Cords and the Cindys, both UK outfits oddly enough. Some ATX love for Stella and the Very Messed and the Wild Kindness both dropping new tunes. Plus, there are several slow burns that will space out the listen, so you’ve got almost two hours of last week’s jams to enjoy!

At this point in their career, I’m sure that White Reaper most likely aren’t in need of our support, but as they continue to bring anthemic pop rock, we’re going to keep cranking it up real loud. There’s something cleaner and more pop friendly in their sounds, like they’re pulling from the late 90s/early 00s history of pop rock; it’s about musicianship balanced out by hooks, which makes for some of the best rock around. With all the changes and moves blowing through the band in the past few years, it appears as if they’ve come out on the other side with some of the best work to date. Look for Only Slightly Empty via Blue Grape Music on September 26th.

White Reaper Return With Honestly

Leave a comment

It’s been a wild week with some of our ATH mainstays dropping new tunes, and today seems to be no different with old time Kentucky favorites White Reaper also hitting us with something fresh. This one has really lifted my spirits in knowing the band plans to carry on after some recent turmoil over the last couple of years with lineup changes, label issues, and general burnout. With this new track, “Honestly,” my heart is happy to hear a band dealing with the struggle lyrically while still churning out a fantastic rock n roll hit. Things do get a touch poppier here with more keys and softer bass, so change is coming, but I for one welcome the evolution and welcome the boys back.

This track is part of the new White Reaper album entitled One Slightly Empty which is due out on September 26th via the band’s new label Blue Grape Music.

Fest Pics: ACL 2021 In Review

Leave a comment

We are a little bit clear of ACL 2021’s two weekends. We dealt with the mental gymnastics required to attend both weekends during a pandemic. Proof of a negative test or full vaccination likely meant that Zilker Park was the safest place in Austin. But then again, a lot of people are liars.

So difficult to let go of being safe, yet so easy to get caught up in the moment.

Let’s get on to some thoughts a few photos.

Top Albums of 2017

7 comments

Lists are arbitrary and burdensome, but why not join the fun everyone else is having? We gathered our lists, separate lists for all of us, then combined them into one that had 50 albums. What you get here are the four writers/contributors of ATH, giving you their meaningless opinions on what we thought was the jam in 2017. It’s alphabetical, and we put the initials next to it so you could track down your enemy!

ACL Weekend Two Wrap-Up

Leave a comment

No Spoilers.

Admittedly, all the huge buzz leaks out as all the kids party on Weekend One, so attending Weekend Two for the first time, I was curious as to whether or not it could keep the same vibe from its predecessor. Surprisingly, the fest didn’t seem to miss a beat.

We have photos from around the grounds, randoms and portraits, friends and colleagues, bootlickers and signs. We also have plenty of notes rehashing last week’s favorites and highlighting the changes, so read on for highlights.

ICYMI: New(ish) White Reaper Cover

Leave a comment

I’m kind of a big fan of anything that White Reaper does, so I’m pretty sad I missed this cover when it dropped last week. Better late than never though, right? White Reaper have have seemingly doubled their already high octane energy on this Deep Purple cover of “Highway Star.” They’ve chosen a more straightforward cover approach, but they still add their own punk-flair to the rock-n-roll track. Take a listen below and hear for yourself.

 

The band’s sophomore effort, The World’s Best American Band, came out earlier this year. Have you given it a listen?

Check Out This New White Reaper Video

Leave a comment

For anyone who has yet to check out the new album, The World’s Best American Band, from rockers White Reaper, I highly suggest you do it now. Get it here now from Polyvinyl Records. With that out of the way, I’m excited today to share the band’s latest video from the title track of their new record. Now you may or may not have already heard this song, but I suggest you also check out this badass new video for the track animated by Simon-Young. It’s sort of a School House Rock vibe if it was drawn by folks with a dirty mind.
