I hadn’t heard of a band called Hymns before today. They reached out to us to see if we were hosting a party at SXSW 2007, where they offered to perform. While we’re more than happy to have them rock out in our hotel room or follow us around Austin performing our walking soundtrack, they really deserve much better.
Brian Harding, Jason Roberts, Tony Kent, and Jeremy Kay have a west coast folk-rock that sounds like a cross between Pavement and The Thrills. They also just wrapped up a couple of tours with bands you may have heard of: Ben Kweller and the Lemonheads.
If you’re hosting a party or good barbecue at SXSW, hook these boys up with a gig and let us know where you’ll be. I’d love some brisket and will even bring the PBR.

No PBR! When you’re in Texas, you drink the national beer of Texas, Lone Star!
Love, love the Hymns. Put them in my top ten of the year. Among the bands that made 2006 the year to find easy going, but rocking fun bands, the Hymns were by far the best.
Mike – When it comes to beer, I don’t discriminate. But you are correct. When in Rome… Lone Star it is.
Sorry, but the correct answer is… Shiner Bock. You’ll see when you get there.
I like these guys. Does anyone else think the singer sounds a bit like the guy from the French Kicks?
