Dallas Latest News

What happens when an indie band gets a little too big for their britches...
Crystal Castles and the Gorilla VS. Bear-championed VEGA, as well as The Grenada Theater in Dallas, have found themselves in a he said/she said war of words today after Crystal Castles kicked VEGA off last night’s bill and eventually cancelled the entire show. Accusations of theft, poor sound and prima-donnary (wha?)…You can read all about it at GvB, including what Crystal Castles...

Dallas MP3s

Leg Sweeper
Slutty Sleepover This Dallas, Texas duo’s innate cheeky suggestiveness is immediately noticeable from their name and their song ‘Sexy Weekend’. But this and the rest of their latest EP is more reigned in, no brainer punk that hits the right buttons in a blank-faced Weezer kind of way. Their earlier demos on the other hand are all raucous, fast-paced, gritty punk rock jams....
new White Denim :: "i start to run"
"I Start to Run" is the soulfully frenetic lead single/anthem from White Denim’s adventurous and consistently brilliant upcoming LP, Fits.

DOWNLOAD: Grooms - Acid King Of Hell (Guitar Feelings)
There’s nothing overtly psychedelic or doomy about Grooms’ "Acid King Of Hell (Guitar Feelings)," but the parenthetical bears some insight, since it’s on their loud-quiet-loud amp exorcisms that this one really gets lifted. More squalid shredding can be found on Rejoicer, the Brooklyn threesome’s new album for Death By Audio, and on their current tour out to the...
New Song : VEGA : No Reasons
Thanks to BIG STEREO and GvB for breaking this one. We reported on VEGA’s drama with the Crystal Castles show in Dallas not too long ago, but Alan Palomo, the man behind the project, is moving on. He’s releasing his new EP Well Known Pleasures on May 19th through Vogue College Records. This is some hook-heavy, Italo-disco-influenced synth pop that just feels so good. VEGA - No...

Dallas Reviews

Thrills
I briefly mentioned the murky, lo-fi noise-pop of Toronto’s Little Girls a couple weeks ago, and the group has since made us aware of a couple of impending releases that you should know about. There’s a 7" coming soon on Captured Tracks (home of Blank Dogs and Dum Dum Girls), with a 12" called Thrills to follow on Mexican Summer (Ariel Pink, Marissa Nadler, etc). "...
