Pop your head into any venue in Austin this week, and the band on stage is likely to fall squarely in the middle of the indie rock/Americana spectrum. So if you wan’t to break all that up with some funk, we recommend you check out Atlanta’s Gurufish. Led by Jimmy St. James, this 8-piece collective brings a jolt of electricity to the party with a glam-rock theatricality and an unending groove—
Post-worldbeat” trio Algiers, who originally hail from the US’s muggy Deep South, have signed to Matador Records,they have announced a self-titled debut LP, and unveiled a fresh single.
“But She Was Not Flying” is a tormented slab of dark soul-rock; it’s a Southern Gothic death rattle, riddled with the possessed howls of lead singer Franklin James Fisher, warped gospel vox and rapture-inspired keys. It’s dramatic, horror-scorched and frighteningly fascinating. Algiers is a band of musicians born in Atlanta, Georgia, the rotten hub of the Ol’ American South, where W.E.B. Dubois once saw a riot goin’ on, and where the hell and highwater swirls ‘round to the knees.
Algiers will be released by Matador Records later this year.

the Quiet Hounds from Muscle Shoals Atlanta and the song “Young Clover” which has a simplistic wonderful charm about the song, bending and twisting melodies ranging from modern power pop and indie rock from this supergroup of local musicians from the Atlanta Music scene, obscuring their identities with animal masks, with a sound perhaps rooted in the past with the Civil War a recurring theme in their songs
