Tomorrow night, Austin’s SOUND Team will come though town and make an appearance at the Basement’s New Faces Night. Recently signed to Capitol Records, the band has been stirring up a bit of a buzz with their unique brand of layered, synth-laden rock, even sharing the stage with the likes of The Walkmen and The Arcade Fire.
If the free cover alone isn’t enough to pique your interest, hopefully a little more info about this interesting six-piece will bring you out to the Basement on a Tuesday. Bill Baird, the band’s bass player, was nice enough to answer a few questions for NashvilleZine.

They decided to put their latest LP Nobody’s Darlings out themselves, and to hit the road with a vengance as usual. Recorded by famed Memphis producer Jim Dickinson (Big Star, Replacements), Nobody’s Darlings eschews most of the subtleties the band employed on That Much Further West. You can call it Southern rock, alternative country, whatever the hell you want, but the fact is that it flat out rocks. Hard.
