As things ramp up for SXSW and the city of Austin prepares to be invaded by ten thousand outside bands, it seems only appropriate to shed some light on a local act. One such group is fronted by Ethan Kennedy, and has grown in magnitude since we first covered their two-man release of Raucous back in early 2010.At the time, I compared their sound to The Black Keys. In hindsight, I was wrong. Granted, there are some similarities to their music, but I'd reckon that in the end, Ethan's tunes are far more complex (and substantially mellower). Case and point: the bridge and cellos featured in the groups new track, "Enough." Particularly that bridge. I reckon this guy has a fantastic knack for changing the feel of a song in a heartbeat, and frankly I can't wait to hear more from him.I hope you feel the same way.
