Why do we like this?

A third band being followed by SPIN and HP is Rural Alberta Advantage, a Toronto-based indie rock trio with two albums under their belts. Together, Nils Edenloff, Amy Cole, and Paul Banwatt have created a sound at once upbeat and melancholic, alluding to hometowns and heartbreaks, summers in the Rockies, and cold, cold winters. I've heard them described as "The Decemberists on coke."

You can follow them on their path to SXSW by visiting this link.

Also, if you're in Austin, be sure to try and catch them at one of their many performances:

3/18 - Brooklyn Vegan Party @ Barbarella (2pm)

3/18 - Baeblemusic Party @ The Phoenix (3:30pm)

3/18 - Music by the Slice Party @ Homeslice Pizza (6:20pm)

3/19 - IFC/Bowery Presents at Crossroads House (4pm)

3/19 - Central Presbyterian Church (10:30pm)

By Jason Grishkoff on Jan 7, 2015 | The clock is ticking toward The Dodos' release of a new album titled Individ, which naturally means more singles for us to listen to!

By Jason Grishkoff on Jul 15, 2014 | Those of you in the Northern hemisphere are headed into some colder weather, which likely means tossing aside upbeat, nu-disco sounds for something a little bit grungier and down-to-earth.
