Just kidding, Soft Packers! We’ll be dropping a White Denim feature on your shiny heads sometime in the near future, a 4900 word treatise on why they might just be the third best rock ‘n roll band on American soil right now. Before that story starts flashing on our homepage, treat yourself to the snappy new video for single “I Start To Run.” Their new full-length, Fits, is out right now courtesy of Downtown.

Brazos and White Denim, too
Better bands than you.

White Denim

Because we’ve been swooning over the folk explosions of Austin’s Brazos for a minute now, it’s with great, unbridled pleasure that we share “Day Glo” with you today. It’s an aired out, ridiculously melodic strummer off their soon-to-drop LP, Phosphorescent Blues. They’ll be steamrolling the Eastern half of this country with fellow Austinites White Denim in the next few weeks, dates for which you can check just below the spot where you click/procure a slice of peace to take with you into the WEEKEND.

Brazos, Day Glo
