Local band East Cameron Folkcore cries out with heart and determination from underneath a dense draping of brash folk-rock.
Combining orchestral arrangements, folk leanings, and socially conscious punk ethos in a raucous and energetic musical concoction, East Cameron Folkcore is an 11+ member Northeast Austin band, and they are no strangers to the KUTX studio either. Their upcoming third album Kingdom of Fear, a melodious call to action dealing with a globally cultivated culture of fear, touching upon issues of surveillance, gentrification, the environment, and gender, to name a few, will be released next week, on April 7th. Just prior to its release, the documentary The Sun Also Rises, examining how the band came together, will also be screening at the Alamo Drafthouse this coming week.
You can watch East Cameron Folkcore performing live at the Salvage Vanguard Theater, April 1-4, and you can stream their music right here on KUTX.
