Hey Alt Country Music lovers! I want to tell you all about an up and coming alt country band. They're called Union Specific and they hail from Austin TX. Basically a bunch of Austin College students (not Austin community college) got together to start a band. Anyway they recorded their first album "Murderlights" on a student loan. It sounds pretty darn good I must say. i saw them play in Denton TX and then I found them on itunes. They have kindof an early Wilco feel to them. There's this one song called "Caddillac" that I might also liken to the Old 97's. Anyway I want to hear what you guys think so here's a link to one of their profile sites. http://www.austinme.com/members/286/

Thanks, Wheels! I'm getting set to work on the station a bunch this weekend, and I'll definitely check them out.

Also, thanks for the other suggestions recently. I've come across a lot of good alt.country lately but we don't have audio for it in the Slacker database. I'm going to work with our programming department to try and get that fixed soon, which means more new music in the rotation!

Thanks again for the suggestions, and thanks also for listening and helping make Slacker one of the best web radio sites out there!
