Leatherbag - We're Broke - Patience (2011)
-          Debut EP. 2 Full lengths as well.
-          Austin band
-          2nd band I saw at SXSW 2012 and one that I didn’t know at all going in. Ended up being a favorite.



Father John Misty - Hollywood Forever Cemetery Sings - Fear Fun (2012)
-          J Tillman's debut album under this alias.
-          Former member of the Fleet Foxes who hasn’t really put out any solo work that's impressed me until this song.
-          His SXSW 2012 performance was also less than phenomenal unfortunately.



Pond -    When It Explodes - Beard Wives Denim (2012)
-          Debut Full length
-          Made of members of Tame Impala.
-          By far the greatest lead singer I saw at SXSW. Young, tiny, wild aussie.



Burnt Ones - Meet the Golden Ones - Meet the Golden Ones 7" Single (2012)
-          Latest single. One album out as well.
-          San Francisco band.
-          'Spirit in the Sky' vibe to this vintage sounding garage rocker.

Lucero - Who You Waiting On? - Women & Work (2012)

-          3rd album
-          2nd album, Magnificent Fiend, was out in 2008.

-          Most energy of any live show I’ve ever seen.
-          SXSW 2012



Poor Moon - People In Her Mind - Illusion EP (2012)
-          Debut EP
-          Features two members of the Fleet Foxes and has the sound of the first 2 Fleet Foxes EPs.
