SXSW 2015: Alvvays

The third list of bands has come out which means it's time for me to get going on band discovery.  This always starts as a trickle since we don't know the showcase or day party schedules yet.  I'll start with some of the bands I've already come across that could have a big SXSW this year.  Might as well go alphabetically to start.  First up:  Alvvays.

This is a band out of Toronto that has toured with Peter Bjorn and John and The Pains of Being Pure at Heart.  Poppy indie-rock.  Their album came out in August and went to #1 on the college radio charts and is on a few top-10 of 2015 lists.  Her voice is really nice.  Reminds me of Kathleen Edwards if she fronted Real Estate.

This is a great song.  The whole album is good.  It's on the server if you want to listen.

Archie, Marry Me
