My brother and sister-in-law are moving to Austin, Texas. I think I better get familiar with some bands (and the BBQ…is that y’all eat down there or Tex-Mex like Taco Bell?).

Dayglow was called “one of the greatest success stories in Austin music in recent years” by the Austin American-Statesman. Dayglow is the stage name of Sloan Struble. When I was on the radio, we used to play a song called “Can I Call You Tonight?” It was a nice song, one of those jams on the radio that didn’t light my fire, but I also didn’t turn it down.

I cam across one of his newer songs, “Then It All Goes Away” from People In Motion, and I have it on heavy rotation when driving around. I love it so much.

I thought if Dayglow tours, I’d come see him Vancouver. But no shows up this way. I’ll have to crash on my brother’s couch in Austin.

Sloan was going to tour Europe, but it seems he was struck by what infecting many touring musicians right now, logistical problems. Lame. Looks like the UK tour won’t be going down at this time.

Go with yourself.

Saw an email in the inbox that Story of the Year is putting out a new record on March 10th called Tear Me To Pieces. Can you believe Page Avenue came out in 2003! Time man, it flies.

I still fire up “Until The Day I Die” and “Anthem Of Our Dying Day” to this day.

They’ve been sharing a few songs off the upcoming album. We’ve already heard the title track, “Tear Me To Pieces,” along with “Take The Ride” and “Real Life.” Last week they shared a cut called “War.”

I think this album will be a defining moment in our career,” says guitarist Ryan Phillips. “When our fans hear it, they’ll be like, ‘Oh, shit, these dudes are ready to go!’ This is the sound of a band putting everything into it. If a new band came out with this album, I’d be texting everyone in my band about it.”

Dig it SOTY. Taking me right back to my 2000s youth.

Feels good to be blogging again. Music blogs died a long time ago (I think? did they? mine did). I think I’ll bring mine back for a bit. The Morning After rides again.

Go with yourself.
