SXSW 2014: Luke Winslow-King x Vinyl Mag
You may remember that we all went gaga over Luke Winslow-King‘s album The Coming Tide about a year ago. This gent is brilliant, and we still haven’t gotten over it. So, of course, we had to snag an interview with him this year at his showcase at the Bloodshot Records Yard Dog Day Party to…
SXSW 2014: Samsaya x Vinyl Video
We found our way to the Hilton rooftop pool (life is sooo hard) in downtown Austin during South by Southwest for this picturesque interview with “magma pop” sensation, Samsaya. This girl is seriously the bomb. Before SXSW, I was totally obsessed with her music (everyone should get after her track “Stereotype”), and now I’m totally…
SXSW 2014: Moon Taxi x Vinyl Mag
I was super pumped when I learned that I was going to get to interview Moon Taxi at South by Southwest this year. Having been a fan for years, I’ve seen them live quite a few times (it doesn’t hurt that I’m from Nashville, Moon Taxi’s city of origin). I loved them first as a…
SXSW 2014: Casual Sex x Vinyl Mag
Who wouldn’t be intrigued by a band called Casual Sex? So, honestly, we were originally drawn to them because of the shock value of their name (weren’t you?), but then we gave them a listen, and that’s where the real love affair began. This band is cool. That’s really all that I can say. Their…
SXSW 2014: Drenge x Vinyl Mag
Drenge, a post-grunge brotherly duo from England, sat down with us during the week of SXSW to talk about things like music, American culture, and their obsession with Game of Thrones (that’s the second one this year— we can’t stop talking about it!). If you’ve ever held conversations with a couple of English lads, you…
SXSW 2014: Blouse x Vinyl Mag
We caught up with Portland-based Blouse at South by Southwest this year to talk about Debbie Harry, New Zealand, bassist Paul’s alter ego and their changing sound! Enjoy, and then stalk them for tour dates. They’re definitely a band to see live. Vinyl Mag: How has Austin been? Have you done anything crazy yet for…
SXSW 2014: The Silver Palms x Vinyl Mag
The Silver Palms are a pretty unique band, and I’m not just talking about their sound (which is pretty damn rad – be sure to grab a listen below). The Camden, Georgia-based band sat down with us at South by Southwest this year to talk about their hatred of Subway, how good-looking they are and what’s…
SXSW 2014: Hundred Waters x Vinyl Mag
We here at Vinyl are not quite sure how to classify Hundred Waters. Are they indie? Are they electronic? Are they alternative? Perhaps their unclassifiable and refreshing sound is why we like them so much. Based out of Gainesville, Florida, all four members completed their self-titled album while attending the University of Florida (I guess…
SOHN x Vinyl Mag
SOHN, aka Christopher Taylor, is making moves on the charts. The singer, songwriter, producer and musician from England has just released his new record Tremors, along with a series of video sessions with his label, 4AD. SOHN sounded absolutely thrilled about the new album. “I think a lot of people – especially in the States…
SXSW 2014: Lily & the Parlour Tricks x Vinyl Mag
Lily & the Parlour Tricks is a soulful sextuplet based out of NYC. According to their bio – and evident in their sound – their influences range from The Andrews Sisters all the way to The White Stripes. During South by Southwest, we sat down with Lily, Brian, Terry, Morgane, Angelo, and Darah to see…
