This week we have new tunes from Dallas rockers The Dirty Shirts, Gratzi chimes in from Lewisville, and we have a new love song from Spanish indie-rock group XICLON. Fort Worth rocker Ayden Trammel sends in his new track “Without You,” and solo artist Catho delivers a bittersweet, heart-string-tugging, love song.
Check out the full playlist after the highlights, and if you are an artist from North Texas, be sure to submit your music here.
The Dirty Shirts
The Dallas glam-rock band is back with “Gin and Roses,” a song that slowly builds like a refreshing, cool drink on a summer day.
Rafa
Rafa grew up in the Rio Grande Valley before heading north for college at UTD. We’re used to hearing Spanish hip-hop and dance tracks from Rafa, but “Always” takes a different turn. Rafa says the track is his first English endeavor, and the song showcases his many talents while capturing the indie rock shoegaze sound.
Sarah Savage
The Fort Worth artist is bringing total ’90s vibes with her debut single!
