Golf Party – “Narcissistic Optimistic / You’re Cold”

Some music lends itself to particular seasons and types of weather than others. While there’s only two songs to go off of, the debut offerings of Golf Party seem to lend themselves quite well to the cold mornings of a wintery season. “You’re Cold” is a quiet, ruminating number and “Narcisstic Optimistic” steps up the DIY bedroom […]

Volume 97

It’s a Thanksgiving miracle! The latest edition of the podcast tallies up some recent releases and continues to showcase the diverse talent our fair city has.

Cheap Time – “Goodbye Age” 7″

Get a quick dose of garage rock from Cheap Time’s latest 7″ - “Goodbye Age” b/w “Soon Over Soon” released via Orlando, FL. label Total Punk Records. Be sure to stick around for the b-side, as it’s got a choppy new-wave-snear thing going on.

Soccer Mommy – Collection

I’m definitively behind on hearing the latest full-length from Soccer Mommy, aka Sophie Allison, but am glad to encounter it in November rather than August when it was released. The Fat Possum release, Collection, is a more produced version of the bedroom musings that Allison has released previously but it’s still a, mostly, introspective endeavor fit […]

Hammock – Columbus (Original Soundtrack)

If you aren’t familiar with director Kogonada, I suggest taking a deep dive into this Indiewire piece and learning about his history and his journey to becoming a full-fledged filmmaker. His debut, Columbus, has received rave reviews from the likes of The Nashville Scene to NPR to a 97% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes. All that […]

Audiotree Live / Nashville

There’s a massive catalog of live performances in the Audiotree Live catalog from a variety of bands, including some excellent performances from our Nashville friends. Here’s a few worth diving into: Sun SeekerSkyway ManPenicillin BabyKansas Bible CompanySoccer Mommy I’m sure I’m overlooking more of them but the above list is a great place to start. […]

V to Z – “Artificial Dead”

It’s been a minute since we heard from Joshua Moore’s one-song-a-month project, V to Z, but he’s back with “Artificial Dead”. It’s hard to say what genre any of these tracks exist in but I’ve always given them kind of a Mike Patton Pass; they’re all over the place but have some undercurrent of consistency regardless […]

Sad Baxter – “Baby”

The big riff sound of Sad Baxter is part of the 90′s resurgence movement that bands like Bully, The By Gods and others have tackled full force. This isn’t a knock on them but, rather, just an apt description of the influences they’re drawing from. The latest 7-inch, “Baby” b/w “Silver” continues that sound with explosive force. […]

PANGS – Vanishing Point

Over the past year, PANGS has continuously released a trickle of singles that fall into the category of Absolute Bangers; high energy tracks with loads of keyboards and hooks. Their latest offering, the Vanishing Point EP, takes a much milder turn; on both tracks there’s a much softer Lindsay Bennett vocal back by a melancholy […]

The Subnovas – “I Cannot Stop”

Really excited to hear the new album from The Subnovas based on this album summary: “I Cannot Stop” is the lead single off of our forthcoming album Between The Light Years, a concept album involving themes of nuclear apocalypse, eternity, and other heady ideas. A space-rock influenced concept album about impending nuclear apocalypse and all […]

BULLY – “Feel the Same”

If you haven’t caught the killer stop-motion animated video from LAZY MOM for Bully’s “Feel The Same” – do so at your earliest convenience. The new album, Losing, is out now on Sub Pop. (Source: https://www.youtube.com/)
