Five Artists To Watch at South By Southwest 2018

For some, South By Southwest is an imperative yearly affair that helps artists from diverse mediums make their mark in Austin, TX. Others insist that the event has devolved into a chaotic spectacle where business and tech leaders make feeble attempts to veil themselves as ‘plugged-in’ within the scene.

No matter how you choose to view SXSW, one thing is for certain: the number of bands that perform throughout the expo’s duration seems endless.

This number stands a chance at causing irregular heartbeats and uncontrollable perspiration for even the most seasoned consumer of live music.
