About Me

Electro-garage-dance-punk-new wave-trash-rock-noise-synth-pop four-piece, Things That Go Pop! have been bubbling under the surface of the Austin music scene since early 2003, in which time they have managed to simultaneously become the antithesis and epitome of their name. While their genre-defying mix of electric dance beats, swaggering post-punk noise, and gut-wrenching dirges, belies something utterly avant guarde, their unwavering commitment to organic, catchy songwriting has kept them in the sphere of pop music. They are in a constant state of “going pop,” but from such a decidedly anti-pop direction that a very compelling and intriguing tension is created within their songs.To check them out for yourself go to http://thingsthatgopop.com
