Volume 100

When we relaunched the site with a new mission, it was obvious that the WOTT Music podcast would have to undergo some renovations. Historically, I’ve compiled 20-30 minutes of new Nashville music, put them together as a playlist and released them into the world. There was no talking and no context around the songs being […]

Telefones – Rack Your Noodle

Rack Your Noodle EP by Telefones The Telefones relocated to Nashville from Atlanta in 2016 and released their debut Rack Your Noodle EP around the same time. The five-song undertaking manages to cover a good bit of ground as the band explores some psych-rock and shoegaze fused with the occasional punkish outburst. Immersing yourself in […]

WPLN presents: The Promise

While it’s not one of our podcasts, I’d still like to take a moment to point out the existence of Nashville Public Radio’s new series The Promise, a limited series release that explores the complicated (and often troubling) issues of gentrification, displacement and a massive undertaking to renovate a housing project. Embedded above is the […]

Lasso Spells – Stuck in a Shape

Stuck in a Shape by Lasso Spells The full-length from Lasso Spells, Stuck in a Shape, was released in 2016 when the band resided in Brooklyn. Since that time, founder Brett Dudash has relocated to Nashville and is working on a followup entitled Bohemian Mechanics. Assuming that the project keeps moving in the same direction […]

B|_ank – “RSM Take One (Hum)”

Art is hard. There’s just no way around that fact. Sometimes you’re going to encounter something challenging and odd to your sensibilities and ask “What is that?” The forthcoming split/collab between B|_ank and R. Stevie Moore is certain to stir up those feelings. “RSM Take One (Hum)” is a collage of Moore’s non-sequitors and meandering […]

Soccer Mommy – “Your Dog”

On March 2nd, Fat Possum will release the debut record from Sophie Allison’s Soccer Mommy project, entitled Clean. The label “debut” is a bit of a misnomer given that she has more than a handful of releases going back to 2015 but who am I to question marketing? No one, that’s who. The first single, […]

Mad Gear – Go Right and Fight OST

Go Right and Fight OST by The Mad Gear One of the primary goals of We Own This Town is to dispel the myth that Nashville is only capable of a handful of musical styles. Our community is capable of a mind-boggling diverse amount of music and we want to ensure you’re aware of that. […]

Episode 2: We Need To Talk About Tilda

This episode, hosts Jamie and Ashley explain their unapologetic disinterest in Friday Night Lights, recent flirtations with Tracee Ellis Ross, the entire cast of The People vs OJ Simpson and explore long standing crushes on do-no-wrong Clive Owen and the mystical Tilda Swinton. They also pull some questionable names from the Bag of Hotties resulting in strong opinions on the likes of Ron Livingston, New Edition, Bruno Mars, Martin Freeman and many more.

Kellen of Troy – “Selfish Kind of Love”

Kellen of Troy, aka Kellen Wenrich, has played alongside a long list of notables (Jenny Lewis, Mumford and Sons, The Wild Feathers, RayLand Baxter) but is likely best known to Nashville residents as the fiddle player in The Apache Relay. He released his Sad Bastard EP in 2017 and is now following up with a […]

Christopher Sur – Christopher Sur

Christopher Sur by Christopher Sur This going to sound real shitty but Cover Art can be a deceiving undertaking. From the face of it, you might think this Christopher Sur EP is an homage to alterna-rock, the soundtrack to some eXtreme skydiving or maybe a Trent Reznor tribute. No offense to the graphic artist involved […]
