Wednesday, December 14, 2011 Hey all! Throughout the year I've written about a slew of local acts, and now I'm telling you which ones were my absolute favorites. Take a look. Dan's Year-End List 10) Various Artists - Casual Victim Pile II - A worthy follow-up to one of my favorite albums of 2010. As with its predecessor, there are a few misses, but so many more great discoveries. One such highlight is the incredible track by OBN III, [...]
Wednesday, September 14, 2011 Are you one of the gazillion people about to descend upon Zilker Park for Austin City Limits? If so, bring sunscreen, drink plenty of water, and go easy on the Mighty Cones. Also, make sure you have a predetermined meeting spot because you'll inevitably get separated from your friends and your texts and phone calls will be dropped. If you're not ponying up $180 for ACL tickets, I have just the thing for you. This Saturday the Ditch The Fest [...]

It's weird, Austin's not really known for having a lot of duos. But, one duo that has recently come to our attention has been Not in the Face . This Austin act is scheduled to release their album, Bikini , on June 7th via Electric Factory Records . This first single does have a little bit of a Bruce hint to it, but Jonathan Terrell's vocals seem to have the feeling of a more hardened Pete Yorn . Yea, it's just good old fashioned rock n' roll with [...]

You might be inclined to write off a band like Not in the Face! simply on the basis of their name, but that would be a mistake. The duo of Jonathan Terrell and Wes Cargal cast raw rock nuggets that can claw and scratch with a garagey abrasiveness, kick dirty roots, and even unload an outright fury of heavy Zeppelin-esque prog that would seem impossible from a two-piece. With Cargal abusing on the drums and Terrell flailing out front with proto-punk intensity, Not in the Face! delivers it direct and untempered. They'll be playing Club DeVille this Friday, February 4 [...]
Austin's duo Not In The Face , Jonathan Terrell and Wes Cargal, have gotten a decent start to the year 2011 catching the attention of some notable media folks with their scorching, straight from the heart and guitar sounds that will soon be set loose in the form of Bikini. Futuresounds went as far as declaring that Bikini " smacks of brilliance" comparing the sounds to early Springsteen and Hold Steady. With a few songs already floating around from original pressing of Bikini , which is in the [...]
While running around at Free Week I kept asking people what's the best thing they had seen, and more than one person mentioned Not In The Face. The songs posted on their Facebook page sounded good, so I dug a bit deeper and ended up getting my hands on their album 'Bikini' courtesy of the holmes at Sonic Itch Music . And now I'm passing the savings on to you. Not In The Face! is a two-piece that consists of Jonathan Terrell and drummer Wes Cargal, and together they churn out versatile blues-roots-punk rock with [...]
Date 7/2/10 Location Beauty Bar Doors 7pm Tickets $7 with RSVP Brand new screen printing and design company Pure Grease have put together quite the impressive lineup for their launch party at Beauty Bar on Friday. For starters, crazy good live band Trail of Dead are headlining this stacked show. The rest [...]
Picture taken from here . So hopefully you guys enjoyed the Howie B interview ... it was one of the biggest highlights of my life. I mean seriously, the man is a fucking legend, and he easily falls into the top 50 names ever in modern 'electronica'. The album "Not In the Face" is a really refreshing album. I saw some UK broadsheet type paper gave it a 2/5 scoring which I thought was absurd. It called the album lazy, there [...]
There's the remix album (a la "I Love Serge" which Mr. B was on) and there's the album remixed, remodeled, and reshaped. One is usually done piece by piece (usually by a smattering of random artists chosen by God knows who)... and the other is a painstakingly involved process that begs commitment and precision, lest the artist ruin the source material... Glasgow born Howie B did the latter when reworking Casino Royale's 2006 release 'Reale' which he had initially produced. The album did well in Italy but Howie felt [...]
