“And just like that…” Austin’s rock four-piece, Lola Tried released the latest single on September 8 for their EP, Feast which dropped four days later. As this is the fourth EP release for the long-running local act, “Hot Shot Barbie” is clear in its effort to build upon their power pop, garage, and indie rock background and make giant leaps toward revamping and further evolving their sound with the upcoming record.

What is Glam Daddy Blues? Texas’ own Jeremiah Jackson keeps the spirit of this self-invented genre alive in their upcoming single, “Soul Power” set for release on July 2. Along with members, drummer Mikey Uptmore, and bassist/producer, Dylan “Pickle” Fischer, the trio concocts a dreamy narrative that begs us to fall into the awe-inspiring influence of “Soul Power.” Glam Daddy Blues is Jeremiah Jackson’s answer to nourishing the soul and keeping it alive and thriving.
