The Reputations: Loving Them Is Easy
The Reputations radiate in what would best be called the Stevie Nicks effect. Loving them is easy.
The Reputations: Begging For More
The Reputations: Begging For More By Jay Armstrong With the psych ship sinking, as the old dogs of sleeze and sweat continue fading off into the sunset, while most nights get spent with our eyes rolling at yet another band to show up sadly trying to align themselves with the 90’s soulless resurgence of disaffected mediocrity sprawling its reach into our lives, The Reputations feel like the first shot of whiskey at the end of a long ass day. Austin dulls the senses, often forgetting the bands railing in the background of our good time are the best in the world, hell even the groups we don’t dig are incredibly…
The Reputations and the Necessity of Pop Music in the Wake of Sadness
The Reputations and the Necessity of Pop Music in the Wake of Sadness By Jay Armstrong I can’t speak for certain about the rest of the country but Austin specifically has an eye-roll approach to all things which might possibly fall in the realm of being labeled “pop.” What a disgusting reaction to see at the simple mention of a genre with one of the richest and most distinguished lineages in all of music. Sure, pop music jumped shark towards the end of the eighties and had lost all sense of soul by the turn of the century but so did every other aspect of music. Seriously, if The…

It seemed impossible to love Roky Moon any more than we already did. We were wrong.

Drunk Mums: US Tour | New Songs | World Domination
Having gone hard for five solid years now, spoon feeding Drunk Mums to every poor bastard I rub shoulders with, now less than a week until these Australian gods finally (FINALLLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) smell up Hotel Vegas, I daydream of the halo hazed optimism, the restored faith in a very alive still kicking spirit of rock n roll coming off these dudes as they climb out of the van to feel this over-hyped city for themselves.
Mixtape Monday: Free Week ATX
Free Week in Austin, Texas is the best excuse to beat the cold and lethargy that sometimes sets in in the cold month of January. For an entire week, venues located in the historic music district of downtown open their doors to the hustle and bustle of attendees eager to find their next favorite local act, see familiar faces and perk their ears to new sounds that the city has to offer. With a multitude of live acts all within a few blocks of each other for the unbeatable price of free, what’s not to love about the start of the year in Austin’s music scene? We’ve highlighted a couple…
