Phoenix Do SNL

The French band performed the seldom seen three song set on SNL probably due to a lack of funny material worth airing. Judging by these three songs the upcoming album should be quite good. Oh, and the sound was descent for a change.

Texas Is The Reason - Do You Know Who You Are?
Before Emo was a bad word associated with overly sensitive guys in skinny jeans with silly hair cuts there were bands like Texas Is The Reason. Wanting to get away from the frat boy macho attitude that permeated the Hardcore scene at the time guitarist Norm Arenas of Hare Krishna Hardcore band Shelter and drummer Chris Daly of 108 saw the band as a way to do something different. The name Texas Is The Reason comes from the Misfits song Bullet that says "Texas is the reason the presidents dead" alluding to JFK's assassination in Dallas. The band only released one EP and one LP before breaking up due to inter-band strife. Before breaking up they were being courted by Capital Records who saw them as the next phase in the ongoing Punk explosion. Do You Know Who You Are was produced by J. Robinns (Jawbox, Burning Airlines, Channels) and was released by Hardcore label Revelation Records in 1996. In 2006 the band played two shows to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the albums release.

Swervedriver Reissues First 3 Albums With Bonus Tracks

U.K. shoegaze band Swervedriver has reissued their first three albums along with four bonus tracks. It seems like even they are admitting that their fourth album was not very good.
