Why do we like this?
As things ramp up for SXSW and the city of Austin prepares to be invaded by ten thousand outside bands, it seems only appropriate to shed some light on a local act. One such group is fronted by Ethan Kennedy, and has grown in magnitude since we first covered their two-man release of Raucous back in early 2010.
At the time, I compared their sound to The Black Keys. In hindsight, I was wrong. Granted, there are some similarities to their music, but I'd reckon that in the end, Ethan's tunes are far more complex (and substantially mellower). Case and point: the bridge and cellos featured in the groups new track, "Enough." Particularly that bridge. I reckon this guy has a fantastic knack for changing the feel of a song in a heartbeat, and frankly I can't wait to hear more from him.
I hope you feel the same way.
