  BS: “f1” 19.08.2026 3min

  Austin’s BS comes in hot with “f1,” a fast-moving track that lives up to its name.

It’s a short, sharp burst of momentum that doesn’t waste much time getting where it’s going. […] The post BS: “f1” appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.

  Dom Francis: “Alligator Rain” 13.08.2026 3min

  Austin’s Dom Francis brings a hazy, rain-soaked feel to “Alligator Rain,” pairing a laid-back groove with a sound that feels a little strange in the best way.

  David Quinn: “Long Time Gone” 31.07.2026 3min

  Nourishing, gritty, wood-smoked, and road-worn are all words that have been appropriately (and lovingly) used to describe the Americana songwriting of Illinois’s David Quinn.

  Stalefish: “Superstar” 24.07.2026 3min

  The new single from Austin’s Stalefish marries two of my favorite things: 90’s indie rock with a story about an underdog, which, admittedly, is really the thesis of 90’s indie rock. “Superstar” is our first taste of the group’s new polished sound (but like a Matador Records sort of polished), and the group says it […] The post Stalefish: “Superstar” appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.
