Fundamental Tracks VI - The Record Low

What happens when two guys from opposite sides of the country meet in the Rocky Mountains (Telluride, CO)and take that musical energy to Chicago? If you said, "Flight of the Conchords," you'd be wrong.

However, Henry Joseph and Robby Haynes bring together a tightly chaotic style of passionate rock that will take your breath away when you see them live. The intensity and the passion in the music not unlike the Replacements with big resounding choruses traipsing the path of Big Star.

Never satisfied with just standing still musically, they are continuing to travel in new directions that affirm this band as sonically daring, while remaining a pleasure to listen to both live and in the studio.

Enjoy some live studio tunes with this podcast as well.

Fundamental Tracks Volume V- The High Strung

This Detroit, MI band defies categorization. From leaving their touring van at the steps of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, to playing a full schedule of LIBRARIES (yes, you heard right), the High Strung trips the light fantastic - their live shows are like a three ring circus carnival where your eyes can feast on each player or take in the entire band.

With songwriting that spans the globe and harkens back to old tin-pan alley songwriting with narrative journeys wrapped around pop, rock, grunge, whatever rock - the Record Low is like a manic episode. You'll be drawn to them. Through the music, through their shows, through this interview.

Andy Pulliam interviews them at SXSW, and highlights the studio website, Daytrotter, as well as some new music news by newly transplanted Texan Joe Nickles.
