Amanda Earhart — Tell Me What You Want
Pop
Alyssa Grimley
Amanda Earhart’s sound is hard to categorize. Think today’s pop, but with fewer thump-thump club beats and synthesizers, traded for more undoctored vocals and guitar. Throw in a dash of country twang and a sprinkling of piano and violin, and that’s a start.
Clip art
Some of today’s most innovative and creative music videos come from the Norman directorial duo known as Lamar+Nik.
Music
Joshua Boydston
It’s not uncommon for music video directors to work with budgets ranging from thousands to millions. Norman-based production duo Lamar+Nik made its calling card with $80 worth of glue guns and paint pens and a truckload of cardboard.

SXSW 2013: Bowlsey / Desi and Cody / Brave
A triple treat of tuneage.
Music
Stephen Carradini
After an unusually easy commute and parking job, I settled into a chill afternoon at The Buffalo Lounge with Bowlsey, Desi and Cody, and Brave.
SXSW 2013: Guardant / The Del Toros / The Kamals / Josh Sallee
Just Joshin'. And you?
Music
Stephen Carradini
It only took Guardant 30 seconds to win me completely over to its team. The quintet’s hyperactive, quirky dance pop is simply irresistible.
SXSW 2013: OK Sweetheart / Defining Times / Samantha Crain
One Sweet set.

OKC’s Jumpship Astronaut navigates a galaxy of guitars with the only weapon it has: electronic rock that’s out of this world.
Depth & Current — Transient
Rock
Joshua Boydston
One gets the feeling that Depth & Current understands the dangers of having too much of a good thing.
