Sounds Under Radio


Produced by Will Hoffman.

Cinematic. It's the word I kept coming back to as I tried to describe this band, and this web blurb inspired them to name the album (bow). The Will Hoffman produced record is finished and sounds fantastic, and we were supposed to have already released it, but because of some encouraging label interest it has been delayed for the time being.

The first single, "Portrait of a Summer Thief" will be featured on the soundtrack for a little indie flick coming out this summer called SPIDER MAN 3Cinematic.

Lions


Produced by LIONS.

Lions recently recorded a six-song demo for a yet-to-named label in a "first rights" deal. We'll let you know when we do. They have been touring like the maniacs they are and getting equally maniacal reviews of their sonic bombardment.

If the Austin Music Awards had a "Most Stunning Sound" category, Lions would be undisputed reigning champions. Turn it up. Louder, you pussy.

dEBUT EP AVAILABLE NOW


Household Names


Produced by Lars Goransson.

Household Names deliver shimmering pop brilliance laced with a strong vein of driving guitars, guided unerringly by their pitch-perfect songcraft.

Album Available Now


Guy Forsyth


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.

New Album Due out March 2007


Wendy Colonna


Her newest album proves Wendy a true triple-threat: rich, smooth vocals that have a smart, knowing edge, often playful lyrics that are poetic but avoid cloying over-sentimentality, and guitar work that expertly blends her soulful rock with carefully measured amounts of folk and funk.

Live CD and DVD coming soon!


The Mercers


With elements from Austin's acclaimed Choking Ahogo, The Mercers will release their long-awaited debut album April 2007. Blending a kalediscope of alternative and rock influences, The Mercers are already drawing great crowds and are currently planning a regional tour in support of this release. They're clean and complicated and no, I haven't figured out what they are singing about either...

"Pretty Things Walk" coming soon


The Drawing Board


Austin via Los Angeles via Austin...it looks like the Drawing Board have finally settled down for a bit, the bastard sons of Jellyfish and Elvis Costello have delivered a dizzying, hook laden, harmony drenched debut which only hints at the firepower they bring to bear in the live show. This complicated record dangles indie rock over the lounge precipice and chuckles while it squirms.

Debut Album Available Now

Kissinger



As part of our continuing alliance with the Austin Music Foundation, we are working closely with former Incubator winner Kissinger as they move towards the release of their Incubator record. We are proud to feature some advance music from those recording sessions on our sampler and on the jukebox.

New Album "Underwater" coming Fall 2007
