In Austin TX is business as usual, a endless source of sick music and the last offering to leave the box is a trio of wild punk gals by the name of Foreign Mothers, the debut EP "DUH" came out just a few days ago on Thread Pull Records and its very promising, "Possessive / Plural" is a blast on repeat.

Documentary : Echotone, Austin Tx

"Internationally known as 'The Live Music Capital of the World,' Austin's music culture has led it to become one of the world's most sought-after destinations. As nearly two dozen high-rises pop up throughout the city amidst economic downfall, how does the working musician get along? This lyrical documentary provides a telescopic view into the lives of Austin's vibrant young musicians as they grapple with questions of artistic integrity, commercialism, experimentation, and the future of their beloved city. Directed by Nathan Christ and photographed by Robert Garza, Echotone is a cultural portrait of the modern American city examined through the lyrics and lens of its creative class." ECHOTONE , FREE soundtrack.

LP : Rayon Beach - This Looks Serious (2012)

One of my most eagerly anticipated albums of 2012 is the debut LP from the Austin Texas trio Rayon Beach on the fabulous Burger Records, "This Looks Serious" is a absolute magic position combining the California fuzz Surf-Rock and wave-punk with synths and dronesque soundscapes, psychedelic and sexy devilish rock n roll rhythms, the perfect blast for the coming summer and obviously on my 10 top albums of 2012.

LP: Troller - Troller 2011 (S/R)

Every year there are a couple of albums that i think how the f*ck did i miss that last year ? The first one this year is Troller, a dark synth-wave duo from Austin TX where is also from another band that fits this sound Sleep 8 Over.
There is not a lot of info about the band or the release but i can assure you that you're into the dark synth music you will go wild with this one, there are a few instrumental tracks but all the others are sweet sweet sweet ... Troller S/T is highly recommended and a must for Tropic of Cancer, HTRK, Sleep 8 Over and Cocteau Twin fans ... etc ...
