One of my favorite Austin bands is hitting the road next week. They get tagged as "indie" but they appeal to power pop fans like myself as well. Their debut (previously self released), Trying To Never Catch Up, is being released on Aug 22 (w/4 new songs) by Barsuk Records. Most of the dates are supporting the French Kicks.
