IT’S LOCAL MUSIC MONTH!!!! My favorite time of the year! Of course we started the show off with Thursday’s featured artist Squeezebox Bandits, but we also had new songs from Dallas rockers Northlake and Gemini, and country crooner (and former “Team Blake” member on The Voice) Clint Sherman. Asher Roberts sent in a new to us track called “What Did I Do Wrong”, and we heard from duo Penny and Dime. This week we even got a throwback from Dallas punk band The Telephones!
You can see the entire playlist after this week’s highlights, and if you are an artist from North Texas, submit your music here.
Squeezebox Bandits
Playing honky-tonk music with a Tex-Mex flavor, the Fort Worth-based group’s sound brings to mind the golden age of country music. “Never Again (again)” features fellow State Fair Records artist Matt Hillyer in a tale of fun gone right.
Northlake
The Dallas-based band is no stranger to the stage- they opened for Bon Jovi at the American Airlines Center last May and will be headlining a show at Ruins in Deep Ellum on Friday, October 21st. Elements of rock combine with stellar vocals and a funky bass line to tell the whirlwind journey of “California Bride.”
The Telephones
The Dallas punk band formed in the late 70s as E=MC2 before changing their name to The Telephones. “Radio Rebels” can be found on the group’s 1981 album Rockola.
