Butterfly Explosion – Lost Trails

Tweet

This is a band that is up and coming and will be hitting up SXSW shortly. They have some good epic, guitar rock kinds of songs, some instrumentals and some more ballad-y type songs on this record. They remind me a bit of Longwave or a band like that, certainly a good ear for a pop hook and a good ear for matching everything together in a very polished way. Some of the songs on the album work better than others, but I imagine their wall of sound approach would be a good one to check out live, especially if you are looking around for new bands to check out in Austin at SXSW, they would certainly be on my list to peep out and see what they are all about. They are from Dublin and have some great shoe-gaze-y, wall of sound/distortion rock songs that work very well, check it out. They have a few major market dates leading up to their stop in Austin, check out the list of dates below.
