Man it seems like it's been a hot minute since we posted a new tune from local ATH favorite band The Sour Notes . We were big fans of their recent record Last Looks , as it appeared on our year end Texas albums list , so we try to make a point to post their music when it's sent our way. This new song "Two Hands Wait" appears on a new split 73 the band just put out with fellow local band Marmalakes . Enjoy. Download: The Sour Notes - Two Hands Wait [...]

Thursday, December 15, 2011 I cover local music for SOTO, so my end of the year-end list is Austin-focused (with a few exceptions). These are the artists I listened to the most, saw in concert multiple times, and was excited to recommend to friends. There's no special order or ranking here. They are simply the Texas bands that made me a little happier this year. Jennifer's Year-End List Leatherbag: This summer, Leatherbag released a musical 1-2 punch with their Yellow Television [...]
Oh man, is 2011 over already? It is indeed, which means End of Year list time! Of course, that means it's time for you to tell us where we went wrong, but on this list, we're thinking we got it pretty right on. You'll notice we expanded our list to a Top 15 of Texas Artists, as we thought our state did a great job, musically (not politically) speaking this year. I'll admit, it might be a little Austin-centric, but we're based in the town, so get word a lot faster. Apologies to Houston and San Antonio, as your scenes [...]
