Stereogum x Exploding In Sound’s Austin Invasion 2016 Yearbook

Congratulations to the SXSW Class of 2016! We made it! In this, the second year of our Stereogum x Exploding In Sound Austin Invasion, we laughed and cried, listened to 13 hours of music, and probably had one too many drinks. (Hopefully you remember enough of the night to last you for the rest of your life -- or at least to hold you over until next year!) Just like in 2015, we've put together a yearbook of sorts to recap the event, and have given each band a superlative to take with them into the next chapter of their lives. Check out our portraits and all the rest below.
