What’s the Deal: The Night Marchers are the latest project of singer/guitarist John Reis, whom you might remember from Rocket from the Crypt, Hot Snakes, Drive Like Jehu or the Sultans. And, if you are hoping for the same badass guitar riffs and SoCal punk style vocals you’ve come to expect from Reis, then you’re in luck. However, The Night Marchers’ debut, See You in Magic, is more expansive in terms of musical influence than much of Reis’ previous work. On the debut record, released on Vagrant Records and Reis’ own Swami Records, the music this foursome creates bops around between the sounds of hammering alt punk, surf guitar rock, soulful garage rock and other.

An Austin group in the earliest stages, Ideal Soul Mart are full of potential and DIY attitude. They’re an indie pop duo of multi-instrumentalists who have a tendency to work out the songs as they’re playing live, helping give them an experimental flare as the guitar, drums and keyboard rage on and frolicsome melodies dance about in the atmosphere. They’ve got pounding drums, jangly guitars and arm fulls of catchy vocals.
