Zlam Dunk has been pounding with the beat of the Austin music scene for a while now and with the release of their second album this April, "Balcones," it seems like the blood will keep flowing. Forcing me to relapse into the more aggressive songs of Cursive and the intricate entangled guitar playing of Minus the Bear, these guys reminded me of how well brains and brawn can be blended together when the right people get involved. You can check these guys out before their album release on March 2 at Stubb’s. Enjoy a track from their previous album, "Noble Ancestry", streaming below. – Michael H
