WEEKLY TIDBITS: It's 100 degrees out, but there's free Baths and Soilwork.

I won't stop talking about Baths. Deal with it, there are free sounds in it for you. Last week Mr. Wiesenfeld recorded a Sprout Session for Dublab. It's available for free through itunes and you can check it out here. Baths returns to Austin soon, opening for El Ten Eleven, another artist well worth admission. It's all going down September 6th at the Mohawk.

On the angrier side of things, Swedish melodic-metal veterans Soilwork will be at Emo's Thursday night, in support of The Panic Broadcast, their 8th album, which sees the return of founding guitarist Peter Wichers, and has inspired many people to my favorite overused phrase...wait for it... Soilwork have RETURNED TO FORM! They're back to their roots you guys! Hype aside, this is a sweet band, the new material seems pretty cool, and Soilwork shows kick you in the teeth. I'll be there. Then I'll be blabbing about it here, so stay awake.
