Liv Tyler by Roadside Graves from Travis Huggett on Vimeo.

• Many blogs have been praising and promoting the new Roadside Graves single, “Liv Tyler”. I want to make sure that you guys know about this tune, in case you haven’t caught it on some other blogs. Can’t wait to catch these boys at SXSW.

LISTEN: Roadside Graves – “Liv Tyler”

• Go to This Mornin’, I’m Born Again for a couple of tunes from a sweet new Austin band, The Happen-Ins. The track, “You’ve Been Bad” is a soulful retro-rock number that contains a pretty righteous groove. Also, look for these folks at SXSW, naturally.

Biting Other Blogs is an occasionally occurring feature that will direct your attention to a specific blog post or two that, most likely, I wish I had posted myself. Giving credit where credit is due, I typically wont blab too much, except to encourage you to get up on whatever blog I am highlighting…

I don’t think I am being too crazy when I say that my absolute favorite thing about reading music blogs is to learn about bands that I likely wouldn’t learn about otherwise. Don’t get me wrong, I like reading about and hearing new stuff from my old favorites but, I get a special kick out of “discovering” something new to sink my teeth into. One such band that has been getting some well deserved blog-love recently, that wasn’t on my radar before hand, are Roadside Graves (Official / Myspace). I’ll sit back and let you see how I become a fan of these boys…

•  HearYa doesn’t just do live sessions, they also gave a positive review of their album, My Son’s Home.

• Captain’s Dead calls it one of the albums of the year!

• The hard-to-please Pitchfork is indeed well pleased also…
