Just today, the band shared Christmas-themed b-side “The Water You Walk” which you can stream below. Like what you hear? Buy the 7″ next Monday, December 17.

With well over 100 musical acts, comedy, great food, local artists, and free concerts at night around town, the festival has become a weekend Austinites and out-of-towners alike have grown to look forward to. This year, the headliner was Run DMC, reuniting [READ ON]
Fun Fun Fun Fest began in Austin in 2006 as the only genre-based music festival in the country, with each of the four stages featuring a specific mood. While our music taste tends to lean more towards the acts playing the Orange Stage this year (Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros, Santigold, Explosions in the Sky, The Head and the Heart, WHY?, etc.), there’s something for [READ ON]
This week, our top releases are really across the board. We’ve got WHY?’s pseudo-hip-hop charm balanced with the symphonic feel of Sun Airway, Matt & Kim’s high-energy alternative rock and Taken By Trees’ mellow, Hawaiian vibes. The Mountain Goats released their fourteenth studio album, Muse their sixth and The Vaccines their second. We’ve got a great mix [READ ON]
This August, Alt-J visited New York City for only the second time in their young careers, and played sold out shows at both Mercury Lounge and Glasslands. And now, just one month later, they’re back and already sold out Bowery Ballroom (but seriously, these guys are blowing up — they’ve shot up to 70,000 Facebook “likes” in under a year). Don’t get too upset that tickets aren’t available though; you can always do some searching on Craigslist! If that show doesn’t work out for you, there are [READ ON]

Every three seconds, a new band is formed. As you read this article, a total of 60 new bands will blossom into existence, and of those 60, nearly 66% will choose a one word moniker. After extensive research on the topic, I’ve discovered that while one word band names are terrible for Google-ing, they are easy to remember, and give a listener a great first impression. But why exactly have bands decided to shift from the oh-so-popular The ______s name to the single word form? That’s a code I am attempting to crack. [READ ON]
