Austin Sound

If you haven’t yet been exposed to Wine and Revolution’s pop goodness, this video is good place to start. “Trees” is off of the quartet’s debut EP, Edward the Magnificent, and the video was directed by William J. Orendorff from local outfit Gorilla Apparatus. The Wine and Revolution boys will be heading out on tour here in about a month, but you have a few chances to catch them before they come back heroes, starting with this Saturday at the Creekside Lounge with White Sails and Custodian. Video below!

As our so-called winter quickly turns into a short-lived spring, we wanted to catch up on a batch of recent local EPs that certainly deserve attention. Wine and Revolution deliver their debut effort with the noble 6 track Edward the Magneficent, and The Georgian Company drops their much anticipated first eponymous album. We also couldn’t overlook Leatherbag’s quick four tune disc released in February, which finds one of our favorite songwriters continuing to delve deeper into the classic rock and power pop archives with a new ensemble, the Pretty Tuffs. In his usual prolific fashion, he’s already working up another EP to be released soon. And finally, we revisit the geographically challenged and multiply imbalanced Wax Museum Pandemonium for their attempt to fuse their split ends into a 5 song 7″.
