St. Patrick’s Day at SXSW 2021 was an absolute blast. The Black Fret showcase featured six Austin, Texas-based bands in their showcase, giving us some of that SXSW hometown flare we were missing from our couches. Featuring Sydney Wright, Ley Line, Motenko, Eimaral Sol, PR Newman, and Buffalo Hunt, the music was magical already without the added lunar backdrop. Peep the highlights and check out the work Black Fret does below!

PR Newman, “but no”

PR Newman, “but no”

Texas’ own PR Newman has a new gem to share with us, the official music video for the frantic, dance-inducing track “But No”. Created to look like a ransom note – and by that, we simply mean word art and clips of photos have been compiled -, the video supplies us with a vivid, mind-bending visual to enjoy. Absurd at times – Why is there music coming out of a sumo wrestler’s butt? – we’re thoroughly entertained, and intensely curious about what’s to come.
