It would be near impossible for
me to tell you how excited I am at the possibility of moving to Austin this
summer. I think that town has one of the best music scenes in the
world and to be in the middle of it would be great, even if it meant that
everyday I would just end up either sharing Austin artists or live reviews
with you. Anyways, a good example of the quality of music that is out
there is the quartet that I have for you today, The Always Already.
The band is fresh off the release of their self titled EP for Complicate
Everything, and are currently touring around Texas, presumably blowing
people's minds. I am totally in love with the EP and I am excited to
see what they have in store for us in the future; maybe I will just ask them
myself at this year's SXSW.
:The Always Already - Kinetic Hillsides:
I really like how this is pretty much done in the style of At The Drive-In
but instead of rocking your face off with ferocious punk they decided to use
Casio keyboards to accomplish the same thing. I especially appreciate
the high level of energy that is put into the vocals, it really brings home
the fact that the band is having a blast and doing all that they can to
inspire you to join them.
:The Always Already - I Am Electric:
To be honest this is not too different from Kinetic Hillsides.
I mean the spot on use of synth, the dance worthy beat, the crafty guitar
work and the energetic vocals are all here in full force with the only
difference being the lyrics. Here is the thing though, I frankly don't
care. This song is a blast so download it and feel free to dance like
there is no tomorrow.
