Texas' Purple play pop music. Messy, dirty, raucous, grit-spitting, tequila glug-ging pop music. They do not apologize for this. They have a big streak of it running skunk-like up their backs. They are wrestling pop away from the world of vocoders, slick dance routines and coquettish airheads and bringing it back to where it belongs: to the beach, to the house party, dancing on the table in that bar you need a fake ID to get into. Their debut, (409), was produced by Grammy-nominated Frenchie Smith (Darkness, JET, The Dandy Warhols).
