Follow That Bird's Singer/guitarist Lauren Green should be proud. She's leading her trio away from the lo-fi garage haze and into Austin's next big thing: solid, never precious guitar rock. Like Ume's Lauren Larson, Green isn't afraid to let the chugging, angular guitar take center stage along with her incredible vocals. Though the group is undeniably tight -- drummer Tiffanie Lanmon's support makes the rest of everything work beautifully -- there's no pretense here. Green isn't afraid to wail on and off key, there's no fear of jagged, three chord epics, and the mood is always some sort of mildly controlled rage. There's punk here, some Sleater Kinney phases and lots of gritty rock, but the band is doing something wholly new and different with these well established elements. Catch them this weekend at the United States Art Authority (next to Spiderhouse) with Dikes of Holland, Literature and the Pillow Queens. The reasonable $7 entry fee gets you a free 10".

This release is the first edition of Monofonus Press' 10" series, featuring one-sided 10" vinyl EPs with handmade art on the flipside.
