HOWLER

Howler is actually an act that hasn't been mentioned around here before, and it's because I'm still sort of figuring out what I think about their album, America Give Up.  So why tell you to catch them at SXSW?  Well, aside from the fact that they're heading into it with a nice amount of buzz, I get the feeling that their Strokes-esque collection of tunes could be something I like a lot more once I experience them live and in person.  Or maybe not.  We'll see.  Taking a chance or seven is just part of the festival, and Howler could end up being worth the effort.

PS - You can find all of the staff's "Favorable Mentions" on one page right here.  Also, we advise that you use Do512 and Showlist Austin to look for shows that feature our recommended artists.
