Tune in for new music including the latest single by The Effens, out of Toronto. Image: Instagram

With any luck, your lights are back on and your water’s once again flowing after last week’s winter calamity here in Austin. It’s been a tough couple of weeks for most of us, so why not use your Friday afternoon for a little musical escape?

This week, we’ve got a full hour and a half of the latest tunes from north of the border—no snow or ice included. We’re spinning the latest releases by Atlatl, The Aubreys, Bealby Point, Book Buddies, Dearly Beloved, Death from Above 1979, The Effens, Fleece, Further the Lion, Gregory Pepper & His Problems, Hibou Hibou, Immaculate Machine, Jerry Leger, Layten Kramer, Left Field Messiah, No Frills, Sam Coffey & The Iron Lungs, Slow Leaves, Sunfields, Tearjerker, The Strumbellas, and Treephones.
