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 […]
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 […]
"Ranting And Raving" b/w "Behind Dark Eyes" by The Rectangle Shades John Davis is a busy guy. He released The Blinding White Of Nothing At All double record last year with The Lees of Memory, has been collaborating with Andy Herrin as Two Chalfonts and has a new project with Mike Armstrong entitled The Rectangle […]
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 […]
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, […]
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. […]
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, 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 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 […]
Third Man Records announced that they’ll be releasing a new Brendan Benson 7″ for “Half a Boy (And Half a Man)” on Friday, Feb. 19th to independent record stores with an exclusive b-side. Fortunately, they’ve made the A side available digitally, right now. The track seems to harken more to his bigger rock sound from […]
squares by PARTY TRASH One of the best things to happen when mining for unearthed music in the Nashville area is stumbling upon an artist you’ve never heard previously mentioned that just so happens to have a huge catalog of works in a genre you’d never associate with the city. There’s almost zero easily obtainable […]
E-JAIL 2 by E-JAIL For reasons I can not fully explain, I have a deep affinity for the work of E-Jail. His first release, simply titled The Name of this Band is E-Jail, features primary songwriter Rafer White on the cover, standing in his bathrobe and fluorescent shorts. The music is an eclectic mixture of […]
