Record Store Day 2013 | 16 Releases To Hunt For Saturday
The post-SXSW let down is a real thing. Even before I was migrating down to Austin, February and March were a flood of new music. Nothing really rivals it. This puts a lot of pressure on April. After weeks of drinking music out of a firehose how does one deal with the fallout following this glut. Thankfully, April has an answer. A day full of special, appetizer-sized bites of new music celebrating brick, mortar, vinyl and community. Record Store Day is a good thing and I'm thrilled to see what the New York shops have to offer. Here's the little wish list I came up with after combing through the list of releases found here.

The U & U's SXSW 2013 Preview Spotify Playlists
For all you prepping for your Austin adventure and those ready to live vicariously, I present a tiered rundown of most of the SXSW '13 bands you should have on your radar. There are 192 bands presented here and I didn't even include the notable rap and comedian performers, but I had to draw a line somewhere, right? We start with the bands I'm most hyped about, and then work our way down my scale of desire. Finishing with the bands that I've been bombarded about the most, but I just am not feeling for one reason or another. You may dig though!
Tier #1 : I'll Kill Myself If I Don't See...
Tier #2 : No Excuses...
This one wasn't on Spotify, but needs mentioning:
Tier #3 : Only The Most Legit Excuses...
Tier #4 : If At All Possible...
Tier #5 : It'd Be Nice...
Tier #6 : Happily Charge Your Phone To...
Tier #7 : I'm Supposed To Desire These, But...
I say time and time again that this is the greatest event in music and I only make that claim more passionately every year. There are plenty of familiar faces here, but I hope you found some new-to-you bands to add to your rotation. Thanks!
