Texas Platters Finale

One last 2012 local music roundup

Every year, crates and crates of local releases pour into the Chronicle. We listen to every single submission and end up writing on about two-thirds of the hopefuls. This year, we maintained a bruising pace, finally finishing out 2012 herein. How might that be you and your band? Simply send in a hard copy of your single, EP, or LP to: Austin Chronicle, Attn: Music, 400 N. I-35, Austin, TX, 78751. We've got our ear on.

Check out our list of every single local record we reviewed in 2012.
