Band: Bailout
From: Austin, Texas
Their formation story:
(Sawyer Click, guitar)" "Aaron Friedman (Torn Apart) moved to Austin and reached out to Brandon Jimenez (vocalist of Beyond Reach) about starting something new. After connecting in person at Not So Fun Weekend, Brandon and Aaron got with me (Big Iron). On our first day jamming, we wrote 'On the Floor' and kept the momentum rolling, knocking out nine demos in just a few weeks.
"Aaron brought in Connor Schiesz on bass, and after recording the initial material with Kieran Krebs at Overcast Recordings, we rounded out the lineup with Uli Chavez on drums. It stopped being an idea and became a band with something to say."
Their sound in their own words:
(Brandon Jimenez, vocals): "Fast, aggressive hardcore with groove. We aim for something raw and urgent, yet rhythmic and catchy, for fans of Bracewar, Floorpunch, Cold World, End It, and Trapped Under Ice."
Latest release info:
"Our debut demo, Surface Tension, is comprised of six tracks pulled from the nine we recorded, built around frustration with state violence, surveillance culture, and repression. The release stands united under an anti-ICE, anti-surveillance stance, and we’re channeling that same energy into the shows around it."
Future plans:
"We’re celebrating the demo with a release show and benefit on February 20th at Planet K in Austin, in collaboration with Dare to Struggle Austin. The fundraiser will split proceeds 50/50 between supporting a member who lost her job after a January arrest and helping Families Demanding Justice organize their national conference in Chicago.
"Beyond that, we’re playing out, writing more, and getting the remaining tracks ready to release."
What other bands from your region should we check out?

TXHC FOREVER."
