Solo Solo: “No Sleep”

By: Jack Anderson

Boy, there’ve been a lot of new Austin acts popping up in 2022. And while artist multiplicity has made gatekeeping and curation a bit more complicated than it was in the pre-DAW era, we still try our best to show off up-and-coming artists around town. Yet our airwaves simply cannot catch everything. That’s why Song of the Day is here to play a little heavy rotation safety, this time on behalf of Solo Solo. Solo Solo is fraternal collaboration front and center; their lifelong bond as brothers slipstreams seamlessly into this synth-injected indie rock project. Their studio singles are still limited as of yet, but considering the standalone caliber of “No Sleep” (not to mention a well-designed character-and-car-driven music video), AND the fact that their next single “Pure Graffiti (Instrumental Version)” is already available for pre-order…seems like Solo Solo’s set to take several more big steps in the near future.

Grocery Bag: “Stop Calling Me Out”

Austin garage-punk darlings Grocery Bag are back baby! Ahead of their shows as official SXSW 2026 artists, today they release “Stop Calling Me Out,” a song that hits you in the face with the group’s signature garage-psych brashness, but this time a little more melody has been added to the cauldron, one slightly reminiscent of […]

Magna Carda: “Digging You More”

Austin’s Magna Carda’s new single “Digging you more” has a smooth, intentional ease — blending soulful R&B textures with hip-hop in a way that feels intimate without being overstated. There’s a warm, atmospheric quality to the production that creates space rather than filling it. Ahead of their upcoming album ininnoutcheamind, out March 10th, Magna Carda […]

Quentin: “Hello Denial”

Austin’s Quentin is as much of a visual artist as they are a performer. Ahead of the release of their upcoming album TOMGIRL, Quentin has released the music video for the gut-spilling “Hello Denial,” an anthemic art pop tune, smooth, groovy, and a little sultry before being punctuated with slightly fuzzed-out guitar chords, fueled by […]

The group […]

Grandmaster: “Feel It Coming” [Live In Studio 1A]

Descending from the Galacian Web once again to spoil us with their presence and intergalactic teachings is Austin’s Grandmaster, and I think if we put Golden Dawn Arkestra and Grandmaster in a room together, we’d almost have an OG episode of Star Trek. Funk energy with a vintage flair is the group’s MO, and their […]

The Takeoff: “Life is a Rumor”

From the depths of the Tel-Aviv music scene emerges The Takeoff with their electrifying new single, “Life Is a Rumor.” The track channels the swagger of ’80s rock while blending it with a moody, new wave–tinged blues grit. As a trio, they deliver explosive guitar work layered over commanding, high-impact vocals, creating a sound that feels both […]
