Music
Briscoe (album release), Thomas Csorba
Having recently graduated from UT-Austin, Briscoe’s Truett Heintzelman and Philip Lupton lead off their first national tour with a hometown release of their debut LP, West of It All, on powerhouse indie imprint ATO. The multi-instrumentalist songwriting duo kicks with the kind of folk-pop lilt that rose over the last decade with bands like the Lumineers, yet cuts a decidedly Texas slant into the genre, literary but playful. The harmonies and twanged, banjo-plucked restlessness of lead single “The Well” capture their slightly askew Hill Country outlook, as the album pulls between cathartic howls and suavely aching ballads.Fri., Sept. 15, 7:30pm -

Scowl, Militarie Gun, MSPAINT, Mugger
“Hardcore adjacent.” Throw a rock at punk Twitter; you’ll hit that snotty put-down before you can bash out a blast beat. Translation for the blessedly not-online: A “hardcore adjacent” band is a group that has put their scene credentials into jeopardy through the crime of … writing progressive, genre-bending songs. That description fits each band on the lineup here – be it Scowl’s bubble-grunge fury, MSPAINT’s synth-punk futurism, or the jock-jam Beatles stylings of Militarie Gun. Call it an advertisement for their tour as hardcore event of the season. And for any complainers, well, the only thing “adjacent” to Austin’s straightforwardly ferocious Mugger is your face to the floor.Fri., Sept. 15, 7pm -
