Austin’s punk rockers, Carl Sagan’s Skate Shoes, describe themselves as "two dudes who play loud". Right they are; their new EP, Demoage, is just four songs; it’s heavy-handed and ear-pummeling. For an all-out punk-thrashing moment for grown-ups, listen to "Hot Shoes". While hardcore at heart, "Under the Continental Divide" is the most melodic, and thoughtful of the songs. With only four songs to prove themselves at the heart of the Austin punk scene, Carl Sagan’s Skate Shoes demonstrates a diverse showcase of sounds to add to the genre, as well as some traditional punk fun. -Sammie Spector
