Coming To Your Local Bandstand: Voxtrot

VoxtrotFor quite some time one hasn't been able to turn on one's computer without reading something about Austin, Texas-based indie pop act Voxtrot. The band has aggressively toured its eponymous EP over the last year and earned blogger-darling status with its Smiths-influenced sound. If you've sensed a recent surge in the indie rock Force of late its because Voxtrot's next EP, Mothers, Sisters, Daughters & Wives, is hitting racks next week on the band's own Cult Hero imprint. You can download the title cut here -- right click and save as, por favor. The band has also contributed the track "Warmest Part of the Winter" to the latest installment of Darla Records' long-running compilation series Little Darla Has A Treat For You. Little Darla #24 is slated to be in stores May 15. But we're getting a little bit ahead of ourselves, because Voxtrot launches still another volley of tour dates in Houston on Saturday.
