In Their Words: “The ‘east side’ is generally the shady side of town. I have usually found that the folks who hang on that side of the tracks are pretty interesting characters … like something out of a Bukowski novel. That seemed to fit my state of mind at the time and I thought it was important that some of those characters made it into the video.” — Aaron Beavers

Artist: Harvest Thieves
Hometown: Austin, TX
Song: “Bob Dylan’s 78th Hangover”
Album: Rival
Release Date: January 8
Label: Holy Mountain Sounds

In Their Words: "It's a song I wrote about being at a point in my life where I had some important decisions to make. I purposely took myself out of a place of comfort and complacency and tried to soak up every experience, every person, and ultimately every open bottle of wine I could find to help the process. I suppose it's about discovering a balance through which to alternate between life's extremes of success and failure." — Cory Reinisch
