SXSW Song of the Day: The Zombies – This Will Be Our Year

Posted on January 18, 2023 by Paul in Song of the Day, South By Southwest | Leave a comment

After a few years full of high profile, big name acts topping the bill at SXSW, the festival has scaled things back over the past several years. But just because it’s been a while since we’ve seen the likes of Lady Gaga, Springsteen, Metallica, and Drake showing up at SouthBy, that doesn’t mean there aren’t still a few legendary names playing Austin this March. One of those is The Zombies, who first got their start more than 60 years ago and are still going strong today.

Check out the live performance of their classic tune “This Will Be Our Year”, recorded back in 2021 at Abbey Road Studios, below.

Yesterday, we shone the spotlight on Malmö duo 7ebra, whose upcoming debut album will be out later this year on PNKSLM Records. And today we keep the focus on PNKSLM artists with a look at Rhinestone Pickup Truck, the self-described “glitter grunge” project of Tristen Colby.

Rhinestone Pickup Truck’s Adore Me EP is out now on PNKSLM. Check out the video for “Bee Sting” below.

SXSW Song of the Day: 7ebra – I Have A Lot To Say

7ebra is a Malmö-based duo made up of Inez and Ella, twin sisters who together craft some catchy, keyboard-heavy indie rock tunes. Their upcoming debut album was produced by Tore Johansson, best known for all his work with The Cardigans and Franz Ferdinand, and based on the strength of single “I Have A Lot To Say”, I’m looking forward to hearing the whole album once it’s out.

I’m also looking forward to seeing the band live at SXSW, in part so I can find out how they pronounce their name. Is it Zebra? Debra? Sevenebra? Only time will tell.

SXSW Song of the Day: Garrett T. Capps & NASA Country – People Are Beautiful

I like both kinds of music – country and space rock.

I know that’s not the way the saying usually goes, but in the case of Garrett T. Capps & NASA Country, it seems a bit more of an appropriate statement.

On “People Are Beautiful”, the San Antonio-based Capps infuses his alt-country sounds with a solid dose of Hawkwind-esque groove and it works perfectly, thus proving that Austin isn’t the only city in Texas with an interest in keeping things weird.
