LIONS No Generation 
One of Texas' best rock outfits, bar none. They tour, incessantly, criss-crossing the country playing one "I was there" show after another to ever-increasing crowds of sweaty, air-fisting converts. Guy Forsyth Calico Girl 
Hot on the heels of last year's double-live CD "Unrepentant Schizophrenic Americana", Guy dips into his bag of tricks and pulls out "Calico Girl". Frustrated by his inability to meet fan requests for some of his classic material, he took his trio (Rob Hooper and Will Landin and completely re-visioned the songs - and then added a few new tracks. The result is a wholly original, vibrant Americana record, rife with Guy's trademark ecleticism and musicianship. Kissinger Underwater 
Jim Caligiuri in the Austin Chronicle said, "After more than a decade together, plus two LPs and assorted EPs, Kissinger has assembled its most convincing work to date." and I couldn't agree more. "Underwater" hearkens back to the days when albums where full of great songs, beginning to end, and realizes the hazy dream that has always been lurking just under their surface. Guy Forsyth Unrepentant Schizophrenic Americana 
Finally one of Austin's most renowned showman has a live CD that captures the brilliant mayhem that he dispenses. This two CD set contains tracks recorded hither and yon over the course of the last few years. Warts and all, as Wammo says in the liner notes. I know Guy wouldn't have it any other way. Kissinger Sydney Stone 3EP 
Kissinger recently emerged from the Austin Music Foundation's Incubator program with a career-igniting album called Underwater that we will release in April. To tide you over until then we are releasing a digital only "3P": three songs available exclusively at CDFuse.com for $2.00. Two otherwise unavailable tracks, "Sydney Stone" and "Laramie", and one preview track from the new album, "Josephine, Please".
