Rustbelt Sun is the latest CD from
God Fearing Atheists. An impressive debut that wears
the band's influences (Jayhawks, Uncle Tupelo, early REM
etc) on its sleeve. No bad thing either and our thoughts are
echoed by reviews in Americana UK, The List, The Daily
Record and more. Read more at their
website and the obligatory
myspace page. |

Texas
Exile Radio is a non-commercial webcast station,
broadcasting an eclectic mix of country music, mostly indie
stuff outside the top 40, with some classic tracks thrown in.
Based in South Wales and run by an expatriate Texan they play a
wide variety of country and americana and the playlists lean
quite heavily towards Alt-country, Texas country, and Red Dirt.
The target audience is people who want the 'roots music' feel
and love a bit of twang, but also enjoy progressive approaches.
Sounds right up our street!

The Austins are a reasonably new sound out of Glasgow.
Founded in summer 2006, the band comprises Sharon Duncan on
vocals, Iain Wright on lead guitar, John Hanley on rhythm
guitar, Sandy Mercer on bass guitar and John Dick on drums.
Originally formed with a view to covering songs by those artists
we loved, Neil Young, The Jayhawks and Lucinda Williams etc.
they soon progressed to writing their own material.
A three track demo was recorded with Andy Miller at Chem19
studios in Hamilton in February 2007 and the band now has more
than an albums’ worth of original material.
Playing live has been a crucial part of developing The Austins
sound. Starting off with various open mic nights across Glasgow
they have also played at a number of venues including private
functions, The Halt bar, The Phoenix bar and most recently a
sold out performance at The Vale bar in the City Centre.
Response to their live shows has been very positive and their
music appeals to a broad spectrum of people.
