Speaking of Sonic Youth…

I kid, I kid. The comparisons have been made on many occassion, but with the latest release of the Sunshower EP, local trio Ume, have proven that they are carving out their own individual and unique sound that has much of the Austin music scene abuzz. The band has been recently recieved to play Canada’s NXNE and will take the buzz on the road during their trek to rock our friends up north.

After the jump, the tour.
