The Gary - Logan

In 2009, Austin TX trio The Gary made waves with their debut EP, which produced the sleeper hit “Damn Machines” and six other songs of blue-collar angst and disillusionment.

2010 brings the arrival of their full-length album Logan, ten songs of “Minutemen-esque brevity and wit” that raises the bar, though maintains the aesthetic, of their Chub EP. It’s been speculated that The Gary’s sound is the antithesis of much of today’s over-achieving indie rock scene, hearkening back to a sincere and direct approach that is sometimes lost on the gadgetry and vague delivery often found in current musical trends.

The band simply believes they are following their noses, as well as honoring their influences. Peruse through their record collections, and you’re sure to find albums by Husker Du, Silkworm, Mission Of Burma, Archers Of Loaf, Squirrel Bait, Sonic Youth, GBV, among many with the Touch & Go and Dischord imprint.

Logan is The Gary’s second release on the Austin, TX label Cedar Fever Records, due out on April 6.
