Persistence Pays: The Rich Hands
Finally moving out of the shadows of Black Lips and The Bad Lovers, stepping off in their own definitive direction, The Rich Hands are all grown up and killin’ it better than ever. There is always a timidness when you play something from a band you have been geeking over for so long and immediately notice a change, especially as drastically different from what we have come to love and expect from these dudes, but when it is as solid and spot on as this first batch of songs what else can we do but appreciate what they gave us before and revel in the damn fine ride…
Fast and Loose: The Rich Hands Becoming Gods
Fast and Loose The Rich Hands Becoming Gods By Jay Armstrong Rock n Roll will never die, anyone who tells you it has or soon will is simply growing older, putting on the lame armor of burning out adulthood while slinking off to be forgotten in their anonymous lives, or they are the kind of person with garbage sense of style still listening on the regular to bands whose shirts are found at Hot Topic or play festivals put on by their local “alternative” rock stations, whatever cardboard existence they call home, to say something is fading founded on release and expression, a necessity to the backbone for art…
Nick Allison and the Players Lounge – Album Release | Tour Dates
There was a time when this band would have been solid simply by making noise here beside us as a word of mouth, "have you heard them yet," experience. Their hushed confidence was born for it yet now they stand as one of the last buoys of hope, a reminder of what this town is supposed to be about, of what this town should still be defined by, rock n roll so damn good, unique, upstanding we almost forget they rub shoulders in the same spaces as familiar faces on the regular. The glory days ain't gone.
Burger Records SXSW Hangover Fest V
We’re all aware how chaotic SXSW can be; with all the day and night parties, free tacos and beer, never enough coffee, and an endless amount of bands to revel in, the idea of a hangover party sounds mighty appealing. Come Sunday, March 19th, Burger Records is celebrating their fifth Hangover Fest at Paper Tiger in San Antonio with a stream of must-see acts on their roster. Taking place on four stages with over forty bands, you’ll want to grab your crew and head on down south for this rager. The lineup boasts performances by headlining acts Temples and Har Mar Superstar, shoegaze and dream-pop gems No Joy…

New Attractions – “Hole In My Heart”
New Attractions – “Hole In My Heart” By Jay Armstrong It is no secret that my love for The Rich Hands goes deep. Not a week passes without throwing on one of their records, especially Take Care, so hearing the New Attractions first release “Hole In My Heart” obviously hit with a blind force of hell yeah. Sure this is a band which includes members of Crocodile Tears and Trouble Boys but as long as Cody Mauser is fronting it there will be no escape from referencing how it sounds along The Rich Hands spectrum. This new project steps back in the direction of their Out of My Head…
A Local Texas Find: The Chocolate Gallery
As a student who once lived in a large city, coming to College Station has been a bit of a culture change. There isn’t much to do in terms of recreation other than drinking, country dancing, and partying (which, I am perfectly fine with, don’t get me wrong but I look for more diversity than that). Now, if there is one thing you should know about us people who come from larger cities (city slickers if you may), it is that we usually know good food. So, I was walking around downtown Bryan, TX this past weekend, and looking into all of the miscellaneous shops, when I came across one that…

Album Review: Thelma and the Sleaze – Fuck. Marry. Kill
It takes time to get where we are going, things evolve, our foot may ease the pedal off the floor a bit but in its place you get to feel that suspension tapping out the quarter mile rhythm on a back road burn sesh without a cop in site and sunlight still left to freeze a few frames eternal with each glancing off at the horizon; long story short Thelma and the Sleaze just traded in their ninety-one Mustang for a seventy-four Coup De Ville and they are riding around in it like the album sales already paid the damn thing off.
