The Schisms are an Austin, Texas 3-piece psych-goth band that sound like a cross between The Damned and Arctic Monkeys. Led by singer/songwriter/guitarist Carson Barker, The Schisms recently recorded an EP with Grammy award-winning producer Stuart Sikes (White Stripes, Cat Power, Lorreta Lynn), called “Tejas”. The album features 2 singles, “I Learn To Love” and “All The Good Things” with the former featuring a video made with local Austin film crew Three-Eyed Cat Collective. Their last album, Moon, was recorded by Sikes, received rave reviews across local and national media sites. Their video “Don’t Clip My Wings” was premiered by The Austin Chronicle, and nominated for Best Video by the Austin Short Fest. This year The Schisms received the official City of Austin Live Music Fund which partially funded the album. The Schisms live show is like a bolt of lightning that gets the crowd moving.
