As discussed earlier today, we saw a ton of great bands at South by Southwest 2013. Here are fifteen SXSW discoveries from a number of genres. As you’ll see, the first half of the mix (Side A, if you will) includes some of our favorite rock, punk and psych highlights from SXSW. The second half, by contrast, is all about electronic pop. We’d previously covered a few of these acts before, but we’ll be watching all of them closely in the future.

For more about these bands and all of South by Southwest 2013, revisit our review. Then enjoy the mix!
