Bakbonz – “Twisted Love”

By: Jack Anderson

Austin’s Bakbonz is an up and coming masterpiece of soul R&B musical collaboration. One half of the duo is Kelly Doze, a locally renowned blues-soul singer-songwriter with a couple of albums under her belt and appearances on tracks from the likes of Ray Prim, Zeale, and D.O.S. Doze’s complementary collaborator is drummer/singer Les Fisher, whose talents have earned him spots onstage alongside Gary Clark Jr, Bob Schneider and Patti Labelle. Joining forces seems like a pretty good idea at this point, right? Luckily for us listeners, Doze and Fisher have teamed up to form Bakbonz (pronounced “back bones”) and are set to release their debut album Worth the Wait tonight at the One 2 One Bar. Worth the Wait‘s thirteen tracks showcase Fisher and Doze’s talents across a variety of sonic textures, but you can end the wait right now with a slammer of an R&B single – “Twisted Love”.

The John-Pauls: “Eep Eep”

Yesterday, I watched a video of a guy unsuccessfully attempting to get a beached dolphin back into the ocean, and as luck would have it, today I get to write about a song from a dolphin’s POV. And a louche little devil they are. “Eep Eep” is the appropriately named title and single from the […]

Moonkill: “Full Stop”

I’m not sure there’s a better way to say you’re basically a space punk band than to name yourselves MoonKill, and, hey, that’s exactly what this Austin quartet has done. But it’s not like floating-in-space post punk; it’s more like if the Thunderdome had a Tatooine location. They’ve been busy back in the studio working […]

Spill Tab: “Hold Me” [Backstage at ACL Fest]

ACL Fest may be but a flicker in your rearview mirror at this point, but our ACL Fest content is still poppin’ fresh. LA’s Claire Chicha is Spill Tab, a lo-fi alt pop project focused on incorporating rhythms from across time and the globe and nestling them warmly in her dulcet, mezzo soprano jazz vocals. […]

Go Fever: “Amagosa” [Live in Studio 1A]

They’re back, baby! After a several-year hiatus, the Aussie-meets-Austin rock group Go Fever returns to retake Austin by storm. Known for putting out banger after absolute banger, their “vibrant jungle print, but in rock music” brand with earwormy hooks and lyrics that warrant an English-class close read have been profoundly missed across Austin’s stages. With […]

Briscoe: “Saving Grace” [Backstage at ACL Fest]

Austin duo Briscoe made their musical imprint back in 2023 with their coming-of-age in the Texas Hill Country debut West of It All. Now having toured extensively (“from Canada to Cancun”), their latest album Heat of July is a different type of coming-of-age output for the folk-rock duo, literally written on the road largely without […]

Aaron Page: “Lord Knows” [Backstage at ACL Fest]

Houston’s Aaron Page is a rising star. The R&B artist recently released his debut EP Before I Go, a meditation on vulnerability and conversations that lead to life’s great romantic pivots, for better, worse, or just more confusing. He stopped by our tent backstage at ACL Fest to perform his viral hit “Lord Knows,” a […]
