Austin Sound

Alpha Rev is the kind of band with a big radio swagger, a grandiose, swelling sound that is tempered by frontman Casey McPherson’s easy, soulful vocals. The sextet’s songs manage to be dramatic and stirring without overdosing on sentimentality, a sound that is even more epic live. Recently returned from a stretch in New York City where they were recording their third LP, which will also mark their debut for Hollywood Records and be released later this year, Alpha Rev will be holding a homecoming celebration this Saturday, May 30th at Antone’s. They have put together a ton of deals and prizes for the show, including some copies of their unreleased live recording from Antone’s in 2007. For the full list of prizes, check out our friends over at Do512. Also on the bill for this Saturday are Deadbeat Darling, Quiet Company, and Dallas quartet the Campaign.
