Spoon, Austin’s most esteemed rock ambassadors, have released ten albums to date including a string of five straight top 10 records: Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga (2007), Transference (2010), They Want My Soul (2014), Hot Thoughts (2017), and Lucifer on the Sofa (2022).
Lucifer on the Sofa earned the band its first-ever GRAMMY nomination (Best Rock Album) and was praised by Rolling Stone as "The best thing they’ve ever done.”
Hailed by TIME as “one of the greatest American rock bands”, Spoon topped Metacritic’s chart as the single most critically acclaimed band of the aughts.
Known for their engaging live performances and spell-binding harmonies, Grammy-nominated indie-pop band Lucius are a mesmerizing experience of mirrored kinship and honesty. In 2025, the band released their fourth studio album, Lucius, which Rolling Stone called “the best album of their career.” Lucius’ most personal and purposeful album to date explores relationships, motherhood, and life’s complexities with a unique vulnerability only made possible due to the familial nature of the band. The New Yorker praises, “The band’s new self-titled album reaches the pinnacle of a vibrant, harmonic enterprise,” while Paste describes their sound as “girl-group revivalism, cosmic pop, and a kind of bicoastal harmonizing that once echoed through western canyons.”
Love You Anyway, the new album from Devon Gilfillian, is an intoxicating, genre-blasting game changer spanning soul, hip-hop, R&B, and rock, all under the banner of Black joy. With an incisive eye and unassuming swagger, Gilfillian re-imagines modern soul music by redefining its possibilities.
Produced by Jeremy Lutito (Joy Oladokun, NEEDTOBREATHE), Love You Anyway, (Fantasy) confronts as well as comforts. Chronicling Gilfillian’s journey as a Black artist living in America, it’s as much about fighting for what you believe in: equity and representation, as it is about love - finding it, making it, and channeling it into every facet of our lives.
A captivating, can’t-miss live performer, the Philadelphia-born, Nashville based singer-songwriter regularly commands club, theater, and festival stages around the world. Now, on Love You Anyway, Gilfillian conjures the raw, sexy emotions of his predecessors and the next-level grooves of his contemporaries, taking soul music into an exciting and restorative new future.
Tropa Magica was formed by brothers David and Rene Pacheco in 2018. Inspired by the songs and vibes of their 90’s East LA backyard parties. The band blends in the guitar and rhythms of 60’s Peruvian Cumbias and 90’s grunge with a southern psychedelic twist that transports the listener into a tropical psychedelic dance party.
DIY glam rockers The Plastic Cherries have made a buzz in the SLC music scene with their high-energy, theatrical live show, and a sound that blurs boundaries between heavy psychedelia, art rock, and classic pop. Couple Shelby (vocals) and Joe (guitar) Maddock started the project in 2020 with an album of lo-fi, ethereal recordings made on tape machines in their apartment. Joined by percussionist Wayne Burdick (drums), classically-trained pianist Natalie Hamilton (piano), and multi-instrumentalist Stephen Cox (bass), The Cherries have since played festivals such as Kilby Block Party and Treefort and opened for acts like Frankie & the Witch Fingers, The Velveteers, and Sheer Mag. Their 2nd album “On The Moon,” saw the band in the studio leaning into their Bowie influence and yielded the popular single, “Lovers on the Run.” They’re currently recording their third album and previewing material from it on the road.
