The Point
The Point, a 3-member band from Austin, creates their unique sound by rhythmically swirling together a variety of genres across cultures and times. The trio’s deluxe album titled “Maldito Animal” will be out Sept. 26.
Farmer’s Wife
With their recent EP “Faint Illusions,” Farmer’s Wife douses listeners with a fully-transportive experience at both live shows and in their recordings. Blending psych, grunge, rock and shoegaze into a foreboding celebration, this five-member Austin band is a favorite.
Geto Gala
Deezie Brown and Jake Lloyd became friends in 2010 and in 2024 released “Major League,” their first full-length album together. Their music is a “celebration of Black excellence conveyed through the modern nostalgic Texas and Southern sounds they were inspired by,” per their Spotify artist page.
Next of Kin
Next of Kin formed spontaneously after originally collaborating on just one song. Known for tugging on the strings of even the most stoic listener, the band that’s been called a “rising cult country trio” incorporates three-part harmonies and a dose of twang into their sound.
S. L. Houser
S. L. Houser is arguably as “Austin” as it gets, a storyteller interwoven into the musical projects of many local artists. The multi-instrumental singer/songwriter/composer/producer/music educator wears many hats and has been playing in Austin for over a decade.
