Lake of Fire Music Video Premiere: Crater
Bandcamp || Facebook || Instagram Delving deep into experimental territory with rock and psych influences, Austin’s very own Lake of Fire have crafted an amalgam of sounds into one solid debut LP, Crater, released today on Fishbum Records. Their official video (citing the same title as their LP) was shot in Texas’ expansive landscape during a recent trip to the Marfa Myths Music Festival.

Interview/Show Preview: The Coathangers
Photo by Jeff Forney Hailing from the depths of the Atlanta music scene, The Coathangers are an all-female garage punk band who masterfully and purposefully combine simple, hooky tunes that invoke the nostalgic sound of vintage girl groups with the rebellious choppy power chords from female-driven influencers like Bikini Kill and Sleater-Kinney. Formed in 2006, the trio consists of guitarist/singer Julia Kugel, bassist/singer Meredith Franco and drummer/singer Stephanie Luke, (respectively referred to as Minnie, Crook Kid and Rusty Coathanger), and continue to perfect music that is brash yet bubbly, angsty yet confident and has so much personality and bold irreverence that you can’t help and smile when listening to…
