Löwin: “Sake”

By: Jack Anderson

It’s the last day of Love Austin Music Month and we gotta show some love for Löwin. This local four-piece has been roaring along with their fierce brand of indie rock since their humble origins half a decade back.

This Tuesday Löwin unleashed their sophomore album Heavy as the Sun, a record that shifts the group’s fuzz rock sound towards pop and clarity, with flashback ’80s moments reimagined with contemporary production. Löwin just joined us in Studio 1A and celebrates the Heavy as the Sun release show this Saturday at Cheer Up Charlie’s. You can get a little celebration of your own going right now with the album opener from Heavy as the Sun, “Sake”!

Danny Malone: “Leaves”

It’s been a minute since we’ve heard from Danny Malone.

Lola Bates: “Madonna Gold”

Dark, broody, and effusing forest witch energy, LA’s Lola Bates lays it all out on the table in her debut album Love and Power. A deeply intricate and intimate exploration of keeping the scales of being and sharing yourself in balance, Bates strikes piano keys like plucking heart strings, emphasized by her lush vocal harmonies […]

Gran Moreno: “Aztlán” [Live In Studio 1A]

KUTX’s Artist of the Month Program is powered by Austin FC Raised in Mexico and newly transplanted to Austin, brothers Ricardo and Christian Rodríguez craft songs that feel like sonic mirages—equal parts groove, grit, and atmosphere. Their music lives at the intersection of distortion and introspection, where hypnotic riffs, heavy rhythms, and emotionally charged melodies […]

Rickshaw Billie’s Burger Patrol: “Peaches”

It’s fuzzy, it’s doomy, and it’s relentless. The new single from Austin “doom-woppers” Rickshaw Billie’s Burger Patrol keeps in stride with the group’s brand of metal-meets-melodic hard rock, giving you a two-and-a-half-minute riff bomb of what’s in store for their upcoming album Ca$h Grab, out later this year. The band is out headlining a packed […]

Mean Jolene: “Private Plane”

The new single from Ausitn power-pop outfit Mean Jolene has it all: beautifully harmonized gang vocals with a 1960’s shimmer, 90’s female rock guitar hooks and grit, and an earnest look at the double-edged sword of escapism: a necessity for self-preservation pocked with a compulsion towards innocent complacency. And there’s something about the energy of […]
