John Barrett recently sent over a track off his new 7″ EP , High School Roaches, that has just been made available trough Baby Don’t Records. “Get Found” channels all the grit and raw energy that have started to become synonymous with the dudes in what’s already a burgeoning DIY scene in Mississippi. Already dropping a more than stellar 7″ on Fat Possum, Stain Stick Skin, Barrett has this (High School Roaches) as well as another 7″ EP on the books for some time in the near future.

Thomas Function is certainly not a new band, but they first time I heard of them was almost exactly a year ago when they came through Denton and played a house show with Denton’s own Wax Musuems and Teenage Cool Kids. Flash forward a year and coincidentally enough I was having a conversation about this band at our show last week which naturally steered towards a description of their sound and the only band that could be manifested in comparison was Velvet Underground. I’ll expand on that by saying the band has a very strong influence from the southern-hometown-rock genre: Neil Young and more recently Deer Tick. This record, In The Valley Of Sickness, was released on Tuesday and is available in CD or LP format through the always wonderful Fat Possum Records.
