The Authors / Press

“The Authors' eponymous debut continues the trend of locals polishing 1980s New Wave into indie rock. Opener "Lions" sounds 12 steps of recovery removed from the Strokes, with Justin Prater's assured croon and staggering guitar lines grounding the more upbeat "Put It On."”

“A day in the studio with the #1 Band to Know in Austin.”

“Thriving on strong drumbeats and solid melodies, this four-member band combines the best of today’s indie rock sound with the post-punk sound of ‘80s bands, such as The Cure. The Authors not only utilizes drums but also heavy bass lines. The band released a four-song self-titled EP in 2008.”

“Some are quick to call them indie-pop, but The Authors are quick to refute such a confining label and warn that their sound doesn’t end there. We tend to agree.”
