Found in: Featured AudioSong Premiere: Frank Smith - "Chewing Glass"
It only takes a few seconds of any track from Austin’s Frank Smith to know that this outfit isn’t just one person, but a full-on rock band. The name is the result of frontman Aaron Sinclair’s quandary with a former band that discovered another group with the same band name. The new group spent a fair amount of time looking for a fresh, clever name and at some point decided not to waste anymore thought on it.

Found in: Featured AudioSong Premiere: Young Summer - "Fever Dream"
A “creative calling.” That’s what Nashville singer/songwriter Trent Dabbs calls collaborating with D.C. singer Bobbie Allen (Young Summer) on her music. It’s an apt phrase, as with the release of Young Summer’s newest single, “Fever Dream” shows. Young Summer’s voice, an alto compared to that of Sarah McLachlan and Florence Welch, echoes a particularly ethereal quality associated with callings, destiny and fate. Smooth, soulful and bluesy, her voice is light but is strong enough to carry heavy lyrics. And her lyrics are heavy for a reason “It’s extremely honest music," Allen explains. "It really is no-holds-barred in its honesty.... read more
