H-Town Bands Newly Featured

Hey, folks — longtime readers (yes, the few, the not-so-proud, the downright embarrassed…) will have probably noticed that the Featured Bands section of the site has been woefully outdated for, oh, about three years now (at least). ‘Til recently, long-dead or moved-away folks like Middlefinger, Washington Westcott, & Panic In Detroit had been up there for a really long time, and the writeups for the still-around bands were definitely dated. (I think the Guilloteens‘ writeup mentioned their “new” album from 2004, Get Knifed, and said I hadn’t listened to it yet, despite having reviewed the damn thing in the meantime…)

All of which, frankly, is pretty pathetic for a site that’s at least partly about good music in this city of ours. Which is why for the past few days yours truly has been frantically updating & adding to the ever-popular Bands section of the site. Not only are there a ton of new band links, but there’s also a decent-sized pile of new “featured” folks, and I’ve been working at updating as many of the ridiculously out-of-date writeups as possible and moving the ones that’re dead & buried over to The Band Graveyard.

Anyway, head over & check it out if you feel like it — there’s more to come, definitely. I’ve still gotta do long-overdue writeups for Listen Listen, Free Radicals, Radio Pioneer, & a swarm of others…

New Featured Bands: Blades, Ryan Scroggins and the Trenchtown Texans, The Jonx, & The Phlegmatics.
