Real Sickies: “Should’ve Seen It Coming”
Raucous, infectious, and powerhouse are all words used to describe Real Sickies. Not much of a surprise coming from the band Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong has deemed his “favorite Canadian punk band.” The Edmonton-based band has been known for years for their relentless touring schedules and sublimely noisy sound comparable to everyone from Buzzcocks […]

Austin’s CLUB COMA are electrifying. Ebbing between dark electro -pop, high-octane rock, and a little bit of funk (sometimes all in the same song), the trio brings the party to the stage. And when you know the members come from Austin groups Ume, Boyfrndz, and Stiletto Feels, your eyes unfocus just enough to see the […]

Redbud started as a passion (and let’s be real, therapy) project for Katie Claghorn during the pandemic. Following the release of the group’s debut EP Long Night in 2023, Redbud has been blossoming. At this point, it’s becoming increasingly harder to find people who haven’t heard of Redbud. The group returns with their follow-up album […]

About
Through countless emails, personal connections, and the occasional poach in the digital wild, each Song of the Day is hand-picked for sound quality, relevance, and recommendableness. Eclecticism across the week is a must, so expect a blend of several genres. Song of the Day launched in December 2012 and has since been heard on KUTX’s airwaves every weekday at approximately 12:55PM Central Standard Time. Song of the Day’s online iterations exists as permanent streaming links with a free download in the first 24 hours of posting. Song of the Day’s on-air theme is composed by producer Jack Anderson.
Taylor Wallace
Taylor Wallace-Riegel has called Austin home longer than her hometown of Midlothian, TX, which she never called home. She began her radio career in 2011 as an intern on the music side of KUT 90.5 when KUTX was a mere sparkle in the eye. Returning as the Saturday Overnight Host in 2014, she was the producer of Eklektikos with John Aielli for three years until she became KUTX’s Weeknight Host, taking over the shift from Laurie Gallardo. In 2020, following the retirement of John Aielli, she stepped into the never-to-be-replicated role as the KUTX Morning Drive Time Host, where she ensures you get your regular dose of Pavement, LCD Soundsystem, PJ Harvey, and the Fall. Taylor has two senior pets: Lewey the cat (adopted in 2013 the day after Lou Reed died) and Otis the dog, whose favorite activity is watching and discussing Bravo with his Mom.
