A virtual early 2000s Austin supergroup, Heavy Meddo features Bill Baird and Jordan Johns, both of Sound Team, with Ichi Ni San Shi’s Jonathan Horne and more, for a mix of samples, electronics, and old-school guitar oddness that’s more on the electronic end than the strumming end. Queen Serene has been playing rough ’n’ ready indie rock since around 2020; both bands split a 7-inch late last year. In the middle is the almighty Water Damage, currently on the cover of brilliant zine Radio Dies Screaming and one of the best hypnotic, loping, instrumental psychedelic rock acts in America right now. – Joe Gross
