Rhode Island math-rock trio Fang Island have released "Sisterly", the second track off their upcoming sophomore LP, Major . Whereas the album's lead single, "Asunder" , was a slice of pure prog-rock glory, this latest cut is more in the garage rock vain, with a sizzling guitar line and low-key, alt-rock-leaning vocals.

SXSW is pretty intimidating to those that want to trek across the musical Disney Land that is this crazy festival. To an audience member it's like a Cheese Cake Factory menu and your decision could end up being a serious mistake. Plus add long lines to shows you probably won't get into (The Roots, Fiona Apple, Grimes, Miike Snow, The Shins, etc) and the walking (OH THE WALKING!) from venue to venue can be daunting. Well we here at Kata Rokkar are going to make it easier for you to check out bands you might like. If you don't like [...]
