The Real Texas EDGE Vol. 3
CD Release Party #5
Saturday, November 19th, The Edge Magazine hosted their fifth and final CD Release party of 2005 at The White Rabbit. The Real Texas EDGE Vol. 3, released by the magazine, is a limited edition two-disc set that includes some of the best bands from the South and Central Texas areas--everything from indie rock to death metal. The CD itself will not be available in stores and was given away for free to anyone who attended any one of the five release parties. The shows themselves were a showcase for the bands who appeared on the disc. And in The White Rabbit's case, there were thirteen bands, two stages, and over four hours of music. So if you didn’t make it out to any of the release parties by last week‘s show, you not only missed out on a free compilation of incredible Texas bands, you also missed out on a chance to see the best of what Texas has to offer onstage.

Quartershackle was a welcome break from what had been a primarily metal and hardcore event. In fact, the band offered a sound that was not unlike what you would expect to hear on modern rock radio: big guitar and big choruses coupled with the soulful singing of vocalist Joseph. On a song like “Sinkhole” they proved that they are very capable of crafting the perfect modern rock single. However, I liked them best when they branched out into a heavier, more jam-oriented approach to rocking out a stage. - Online Review

"One of my favorite bands who have lifted their skirts on my show"
--Quartershackle was a featured artist for the week of January 2nd 2006. - Randy Bonillas -DJ -

- Edge Magazine Readers Poll

This is an Austin band that has quite a bit going on for them. They dwell in the hard rock world and write the kind of big songs that sound decidedly Austin. They've also swept The Edge awards, gotten a lot of press and recognition, and even some spin on modern rock radio. I was also impressed about the quality of the package they sent us, as it seems apparent they know what it takes to get somewhere and take a shot at the next level. I was also rather happy to hear them at a strip club, which sounded great over their system. As for the music, I can't really come up with anything smart to say. You'd do well to see them live in a sea of their local supporters to get the full story. - Local Reviews
