HOLIDAY SALE AT THE ONION STORE

Artist Car Stereo (Wars)

Once a mainstay of the Austin club scene, Car Stereo (Wars)—né Chris Rose—went from blog favorite to festival-rocking phenomenon with a well-received album (2007’s The Bandit) and a slot on the 2009 Lollapalooza lineup, playing a round of Girl Talk-with-a-broader-musical-vocabulary mash-ups that value Three Dog Night as much as Three 6 Mafia. That vocabulary has only grown since The Bandit’s release, and its follow-up, Explains It All, mashes together choice cutlets by acts as disparate as Seal, Rye Rye, and Miley Cyrus.
