--The Lemurs:

Coming up at a time when the dance-rock wave was reaching its crest, the Lemurs initially drew comparisons to Bloc Party, The Faint, Franz Ferdinand, and the Killers. But for every synth melody or dance beat employed, the Lemurs find a counterbalance of raw, driving guitar and frenetic rhythm that imbues their music with a crackling atmospheric sheen and anxious intensity.
"The Lemurs expertly alternate between guitar driven synth-rock and memorable power pop ditties....An enterprising Austin band as equally fitting on a bill with The Smiths as with Bloc Party" -The Austinist

WOXY:
"If you haven’t seen this band or heard their brilliant release, Space Punk Starlet, do so."
The Onion (Austin):
Last year’s Space Punk Starlet was instantly intriguing, a stunning, sprawling, glorious mess of a debut that hides gorgeous pop arrangements behind the group’s blessedly unstudied weirdness.
BBC America:
Vivien Goldman
"The Frontier Brothers cover the territory between The Beach Boys and The Kinks, with just a touch of mad Syd Barrett"
--The Bright Light Social Hour
http://www.myspace.com/thebrightlightsocialhour
The Bright Light Social Hour is an American indie rock band from Austin, Texas. Born out of a university art-rock collective, The Bright Light Social Hour has evolved into an unabashedly wide-screen rock group, melding classic rock energy and dynamics with funk, soul, and experimental influences.
"When it's time for some booty shakin', look no further than The Bright Light Social Hour. The local indie group combines raw, jazzy vocals with poppy musicality enough to make any crowd dance... "Back and Forth" is a sure fire hit."
-Candace Birkelback, AUSTINIST
