The Dawn Parade
Caffeine Row

unsigned/Sugartown

WE SAY

This was the track that first turned us on to The Dawn Parade. They were supposed to play SXSW last year at the behest of Rolling Stone's Well Hung At Dawn column ("The only band that matters", they said). The performance never happened but we did discover this gem via the SXSW website and we've been huge fans of the band ever since.
