I am fortunate enough to live in a city where live music is cherished, loved, and respected. I attended one of the biggest, local, festivals that we have here in Austin, TX -- Austin City Limits.

Admittedly, I went for Muse, Depeche Mode, The Cure, and Atoms for Peace. However, as I awaited their respected stage presences, I had an opportunity to see some really great new artists. I would like to share them with you, ESR:

Local Natives (Los Angeles, CA):



The Black Angels (Austin, TX):



Kendrick Lamar (Compton, CA):


Which new artists do you like? Do you have any local artists that you feel like sharing with us?
