Have you guys seen the new
version of Austin Sound?
SOTO's very own John Michael Cassetta had a big hand in the redesign (he'll
be helping me in the same capacity as well), so because of that you should
at least jump over there and check it out. I think it looks awesome.
On another positive note, I was sent a new Dark Romantic's over the weekend,
and I really liked it. Way back when I actually did some new media PR
for the band, so they hold a special place in my heart. Plus, they're
pretty damn good. And stuff. In any case, they've readied a new
release titled Heartbreaker, which will hit store shelves on
September 9, and a 7" known as Lonely/Roads that will have the song
below and a Portishead cover. I expect it all to be snazzy.
Enjoy.
:The
Dark Romantics - Lonely Alone:
Since I've known of the Dark Romantics the one thing that
has constantly impressed me the most about them is their
knack for creating songs that really do everything possible
to make you want to pay attention, and this number is
no different. The music, the vocals and the
songwriting - all of it is drenched with a thick atmosphere
that is not easily ignored. Headphones are highly
recommended!
I absolutely
love the gem that is Another Song For Another Night,
but the video that was made for it is undeniably cheesy and
slightly lame. Still, take a moment to watch so that
you can at least hear the song.
