The Gary In The Press

“5 Austin bands to catch up to in 2010... Maybe it’s just a matter of it still being relatively obscure, but when The Gary unfurls its maudlin, steely-eyed, drinking-class woes over brittle shards of distorted guitar, it’s somehow easier to believe.” - The Onion AV Club

“There’s more substance to be found in these seven songs than most double-LP concept albums...Intelligent, honest, unpretentious, stirring, grassroots indie rock like this doesn’t come along as often as PR reps would like to have us think.” - Ink 19

“‘Damn Machines’ is an anthem in search of a deserving revolution, and easily one of the year’s ten best tunes.” - My Old Kentucky Blog

More About The Gary

In 2009, Austin TX trio The Gary made waves with their debut EP, which produced the sleeper hit “Damn Machines” and six other songs of blue-collar angst and disillusionment. 2010 brings the arrival of their full-length album Logan, ten songs of “Minutemen-esque brevity and wit” that raises the bar, though maintains the aesthetic, of their Chub EP. It’s been speculated that The Gary’s sound is the antithesis of much of today’s over-achieving indie rock scene, hearkening back to a sincere and direct approach that is sometimes lost on the gadgetry and vague delivery often found in current musical trends.

The band simply believes they are following their noses, as well as honoring their influences. Peruse through their record collections, and you’re sure to find albums by Husker Du, Silkworm, Mission Of Burma, Archers Of Loaf, Squirrel Bait, Sonic Youth, GBV, among many with the Touch & Go and Dischord imprint. Logan is The Gary’s second release on the Austin, TX label Cedar Fever Records. They will be playing in Texas and touring the midwest throughout Spring/Summer 2010. Personnel: Dave Norwood - bass & vocals / Trey Pool - guitar / Paul Warner - drums.

“The Frontier Brothers sound exactly like what would happen if The Flaming Lips smashed Brandon Flowers in the face: awesome.” - Austin Sound

The Frontier Brothers have had an incredible February, playing a sold out show at the Webster Hall studio in NYC, and wrapping up the recording of a new EP, You Should Start A Band. The video for the title track finds a posse of drunk and inconsiderate bears partying their way to a Frontier Brothers underground concert. Do you like bears? Then see HERE. And now, with South by Southwest upon us, The Frontier Brothers are rocking Austin all week.

Though the Austin-based quartet remains holed up putting the finishing touches on their next studio release, their new single is already getting attention. After the group debuted “You Should Start A Band” at their CMJ showcase in New York, legendary DJ Matt Pinfield immediately picked up the party-punk anthem to feature on the NYC rock station 101.9 RXP.

Of course, The Frontier Brothers are no strangers to attention. The dynamic rockers have been critical favorites since the release of their sharply crafted cinematic debut, Space Punk Starlet in 2008. Writing for Paste Magazine, Andy Whitman listed the album among his favorites for 2008. Spin Magazine tuned in as well, featuring the band in the June, 2008 South by Southwest feature, “Bands on the Run.”

Amid this sea of attention, The Frontier Brothers don’t care, they’re just here to kick ass. Eccentric, tight, and aggressively brilliant, The Frontier Brothers are drunk on Pavement, Bowie, and Davies or as the Houston Chronicle proclaims, “The Frontier Brothers are something I have never quite heard before, a punky sort of rock that isn’t afraid to dress up with some Bacharachian fussiness.”
