It’s practically impossible to keep up with the volume of releases from R. Stevie Moore. That’s just an accepted fact. In between his long playing releases of surprisingly brilliant pop music, he also releases quite a few very weird records. Lately, there’s been a slew of them worth checking out. One such release is Phoney, a […]
The debut single from Smart Objects has arrived in the form of “The Autumn Man.†If the vocals sound slightly familiar that’s because this is the latest from Benjamin A. Harper. His previous solo release, Get Thee Behind Me, his work in Magnolia Sons and his releases with The Comfies have more than prepared him for […]
Despite being released in 2015, I’d not heard of Boyscott until very recently. Better late than never as their debut album, Goose Bumps, is a delightful romp of pop songs undercut with just the right dose of melancholy vocals. There’s a great interview with frontman Scott Hermo over on Baewatch that’s worth a read through […]
The previous Anchor Thieves album, Monolith, was an enjoyable listen from a band confident in their sound. It was also an album that showed growth and change from the previous releases. The band continues in that streak of evolution with this peek into their next album with the track “Tickinburr.†They went as far as to tag […]
Excited to announce that we’re sponsoring a show featuring New Man, Field Days and Charlie & The Evil Mothers. Mark your calendars for Friday, Sept 8th, and join us at The 5 Spot for a night of highly enjoyable Nashville music.
Our sincerest condolences to everyone at Fond Object on the passing of founder Jeff Pettit. I only interacted with Jeff on a handful of occasions while browsing records but he was also incredibly nice, forthcoming and helpful; a fine example of the sort of people that you hope move to your city and make it a […]
It’s Eclipse Day! If you don’t have any plans on how to view the Total Solar Eclipse, maybe swing over to Third Man Records and watch the Weather Warlock summon the event with his weather machine? Or go to one of the many Eclipse Viewing Parties around town? There’s a ton of them, just be […]
What’s it mean when a band releases a brand new song mid-album cycle? Have all the rules changed these days? Okey Dokey’s full-length, Love You, Mean It, came out in January of 2017 but it doesn’t seem to be slowing the band down from releasing even newer material. The new track “Hometown†is a pleading missive […]
You know what’s right around the corner? The Tennessee State Fair (Sept 9-17th). Get excited for all the corndogs, rigged games and terrifying park rides with this Commander Keen video for “Brain Waves†– off their Cowboy Killer EP we talked about a few weeks back.

Another new track off the forthcoming Move On album courtesy of The By Gods, due October 2017. It manages to find that balance between pop ballad and giant-wall-of-guitars, an enjoyable combination if ever there was one.
Everything I know about Thelma and the Sleaze points to them being a hard rocking, no-fucks-giving, party rock band. Their “Too Tough†video from 2013 has the band dressed as bikers watching a no-holds-barred wrestling match. Their 2014 EP Heart Like a Fist is filled with dark, big riff, rock songs. They are defiant and confident, […]
Stumbled upon Utah transplant Jamie Timm’s project Microwave Mountain the other day and have become entranced by the slightly oddball songs. Created entirely “using a 2 track loop pedal, one bass, one microphone, a free app, and a few guitars†the album captures that slightly goofy spirit of someone having fun making music. “Rainbow Twist†could easily have […]
