Paste Magazine released their list of 12 Arkansas Bands You Should Listen To Now, and three Fayetteville bands made the cut.
Damn Arkansan
Messy Sparkles
Teenagers
Local Americana band Damn Arkansan, dance-y electro-pop dude Messy Sparkles, and lo-fi garage pop band Teenagers were recognized by the magazine as up-and-coming acts that deserve a listen.
The post is part of the magazine’s 50 States Project, intended to find the best new bands in every state in America.
Good job, local bands. Way to represent.

NAMA’s… take note.
That Paste list completely missed a lot of worthy Arkansas bands. From what I can tell you had to vote…It’s a shame more Arkansas bands didn’t jump on board.
These are great bands! Great post too.
