Garrett Klahn

Garrett Klahn sold over 65,000 albums as the frontman of Texas Is The Reason, who were the cornerstone of the ’90s emo movement and remain very influential in modern emo. They have successfully embedded them- selves in the history of emo, not to mention indie rock as a whole. Their albums were the blueprints and Garrett Klahn was the architect. Texas Is The Reason disbanded in 1997, but Garrett Klahn never stopped writing and recording. He played in various other bands (Copper, Solea, New Rising Sons, Atlantic/Pacific and Felled Trees), but his solo material has always been his real passion. He always knew that the time would come to release an album, but the moment needed to be just right. After years of writing and re-writing songs, Garrett Klahn’s self-titled full-length is finally here.
SLATES
Since 2008, Slates have been recording and touring. Their stinky van has taken them everywhere it physically can, and a less-stinky plane has brought them to places like Cuba, Bosnia and the Yukon Territory. Places that don’t often get to see touring bands. They’ve released three LPs and five 7-inches. The newest full-length called Taiga, was recorded with engineer Steve Albini (Nirvana, The Stooges, Jawbreaker, Neurosis) at Electric Audio, and released in early 2014.
