DOUG BURR and THE PRIDS hit the road . . . .

September 17, 2010

Doug Burr hits the road for Midwest shows ! It’s not since last year when Doug went on tour with Son Volt that he has left his home state of Texas.

Also of note is that Doug wrote the title track for the film Topeka, which has been winning too many film festival accolades to list !   Photos, bio, songs, cover, quotes, here. New Paste interview here. Free track download here.
The Prids hit the road again ! The Prids are a touring machine, and we like that ! You must go see them live.
The new Prids video is amazing too, it’s here. Photos, bio, songs, cover, quotes, here. Free download track here.

Comrades 2020

Becoming Comrades

The trio of Comrades – husband and wife Joe and Laura McElroy alongside drummer John Gaskil – is used to living in a van and touring the country. Now, their new normal has provided them with a moment to "be adults" for once. We recently sat down with the McElroys to talk more about the spiritual reality within life, how soon they'll be able to release new music, and how koalas are their new normal.

My Epic performing their last final show before COVID-19

Between the White Noise

My Epic's last full-length album came out in 2013; despite a number of EPs along the way, the band's dedication to their craft, lyrical approach, and unyielding approach to let the music come naturally has made them critical darlings. Now, they're learning to interact and feed a rabid fanbase in between albums and in a new normal.

HM Magazine Turns 35

In 1985, Doug Van Pelt photocopied a letter-sized sheets of paper, bound them together, and handed them out in person on the campus of the University of Texas at Austin. It's all digital now, but, along the way, Van Pelt stirred up quite a few waves, played some seriously heavy music, and made a few friends along the way. Here: A quick look back at the magazine's 35-year history with Van Pelt and new owner, David Stagg.
