Renegade soul-rockers, the Heavy are back with the release of their new album, The Glorious Dead, their third full-length LP, and the follow-up to their acclaimed sophomore record The House That Dirt Built (2009). Self-produced and with their unique, raw eclecticism fully intact, it’s their most fully-realized record yet, mixing together soul, hip hop, rock, blues and funk into glorious, raucous party music that is equally full of heart.

With their eighth CD, Do It Again, Smash Palace delivers the perfect soundtrack for the spring and summer of 2012.
The ten rock ‘n’ roll tracks represent the signature Butler brothers’ sound – 60′s jangle rock, 70′s rock swagger, 80′s power pop and 90′s Brit rock – but rolled into a contemporary 2012 style of its own.
Imagine that you are listening to ten favorite songs even though you haven’t heard any of them before. Welcome to Do It Again.

Exits & All the Rest, Girl in a Coma’s 4th album is the most heart-stopping turn yet. From sharing stages with their heroes to experiencing Arizona’s controversial laws firsthand, the album was born in an especially intense period for the band. ‘Hope’ is a pogo ready punk assault that speaks to the Arizona immigration dispute while daring you to stay still.
Album opener ‘Adjust’ is a tale of persecution and a sonic minefield. Nina Diaz’s voice turns from a lament to a growl in a split second while the thundering combination of Phanie Diaz’s drums and Jennifer Alva’s bass rattle your ribcage. ‘Smart’ showcases GIAC’s own special recipe for a melodic pop song. The stomping rhythm of future GIAC anthem ‘Control’ lays a foundation for Nina’s voice to build empires of heartbreak on.
The stamp San Antonio’s music scene has left on the band is all over the album; from punk to tejano to indie rock…it all contributes to a sound that can only be described as Girl in a Coma.
