Way It Goes

In total, 16 bands from Minnesota will be performing at SXSW, which is of course in Austin, Texas, and begins Friday. Probably the most recognizable of those acts is Har Mar Superstar and Hippo Campus. The latter, an act from St. Paul recently released a strong album, "Landmark." I really enjoyed the song "Way It Goes." I really think that the band has a bright future in the industry. They could easily be the next Strokes if they want.
