Today's Quick Mention: Want to start
writing like it's a real job? Then now seems as good a time as any
to get your freelance career rolling. The
Austinist
is looking and, if you're feeling up for the
challenge,
Pitchfork
is as well. Good luck. Remember me when
you become famous.
The Sword are at the very top of my list of
anticipated albums by local bands, so I'm really
thrilled to finally have a single to share.
That's right, today I'm bringing the metal.
Don't worry though, you're certainly more ready than
you think. The headbang-enthusiasts will
release Warp Riders, which is their third LP,
on August 24 via Kemado. Enjoy.
:The
Sword - Tres Brujas:
This track is kind of tricky. It's full of power riffs
and pounding drums, which is surely what you're expecting
(at the very least), but it's also fairly groovy and
probably their most accessible effort to date. In
other words, they seem to have found a nice balance without
really sacrificing their heavy ways, and that means it's
time to let all the wimpy kids know it's OK to come out and
play with The Sword. Spread the word.
