[rating=7.00] The Austin, TX based eight piece Latin funk/psychedelic rock collective Brownout loves to play dress up and this year for the Halloween season they released their second collection of Black Sabbath covers with their cosmic funk release of Brownout Presents: Brown Sabbath Vol.2 Cover albums are strange beasts and usually disappointing as artists tend […]

[rating=9.00] Becky Warren instills authenticity in every note she sings, and much like her formative efforts with her early band The Great Unknowns, she makes music that’s borne from a knowing point of view. That’s evident not only in the way she delivers these songs — be it the gruff, unapologetic attitude so prominent on […]

He hadn’t grown up reading about Nixon calling out the National Guard in a history book; he’d seen it unfold on the CBS Nightly News with Walter Cronkite. He left his college band behind […]

[rating=9.00] As one of the chief architects of insurgent Americana, Alejandro Escovedo has continued to further the cause by cutting a swatch across rock and roots with deliberate defiance of the norms. Sometimes strident, always unrepentant, he resides at the upper echelon of Austin’s elite, where he continues to make music that demands full attention and […]

The Record Company played a two night sold out run in NYC last week at Rough Trade and the Bowery Ballroom.  Both nights started off strong with a great performance from the warm up band, Muddy Magnolias – a Nashville soul/rock outfit fronted by two strong-voiced female vocalists Jessy Wilson & Kallie North.  They dominated […]

Now, the Dallas-based musicians have joined forces as Corner Suns and will […]
