Austin Sound

Every year, Almost There Records puts out what is far and away the best local compilation (and we say that in regard even to own Sound Advice comps!). This Saturday, they will release Turn 4, another 22 tracks from local artists ranging from Ugly Beats and Lions to the Archibalds and Mike Nicolai, many exclusive to the comp. We had trouble choosing only two to offer up for download below, but decided to feature tracks from artists we haven’t covered here on Austin Sound before and that will be playing Saturday: Nic Armstrong’s excellent new garage rock project Ripe with the song “Holiday” and the raucous Good Times Crisis Band with the appropriately titled “Cyber Freee.” See the full track listing for the comp and Saturday’s lineup after the jump.

Saturday’s show at Emo’s features 12 local bands in on stellar lineup in some order approximating this:
The Service Industry
Built By Snow
The Archibalds
Fivehead
Good Time Crisis Band
One Mississippi
Militant Babies
Mandible
The Wailing Walls
Ripe
Rockland Eagles
Grand Champeen

The show is inside at Emo’s and kicks off at 10:00pm.
