Sam Pace & The Gilded Grit: “Daze After Days (The Covid Howl)”

By: Jack Anderson

Ever loyal to the crusty textures of his backing band, Sam Pace & The Gilded Grit is far from all sunshine and sparkles…in fact you’ll probably end up scraping your knee on the biting sense of sarcasm. Sam’s fresh off a stint as Artist in Residence and DJ for Triumph Motorcycles, and he’s settled nicely into the constrictions of quarantine with The Sam Pace Memoirs youtube series and the music-centered podcast Waiting For The Encore.

And on top of these extracurricular offerings, the Austin polymath just released a standalone single, and even though “Daze After Days (The Covid Howl)” is a little on the nose, it’s sure to knock you out of any discouraging monotony.

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 […]
