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 […]
If you caught Volume 89 of the podcast, you heard Champagne Superchillin’s “Fragmentâ€. Now they’ve debuted “Mon Loup†– a slow psychedelic burner of a track from their forthcoming Sept 24th album Destino. The video is an onslaught of well-intentioned live VHS effects taken directly from a Public Access performance. (Source: https://www.youtube.com/)
You may remember Little Bandit’s video for “Platform Shoes†when it was originally released way back in 2013 but it’s never too late to revisit it! As this Rolling Stone Country article notes, the video features Margo Price, Coco Hames, Tristen and many others (that’s Amaia Agirre, Bekah Cope and Samantha Frances Cutler) portraying street workers, […]
The amount of new music flowing forth from Nashville is so abundant that we’re following up the previous podcast with a new installment just a week later.
The latest release from Faux Ferocious has a short run time (about 13 minutes) but it packs a whole lot in. The bookend tracks are kraut rock, psych rock inspired with a jangly, straightforward rock song right in the middle. That track, “The Big Kahunaâ€, now has an official video in which the band embodies 80′s […]
There’s something comfortably immersive about properly executed shoegaze that really gets me. This 2016 EP from Tape Deck Mountain is filled with languid vocals backed by massive guitars, driving bass and just the right amount of feedback and squelches to make for a proper wall of sound. Best listened to at full volume in a […]
The thing about a joke band is that you have to be noticeably awful to really let your audience be IN on the joke. I recently caught a set by Lazersnake and honestly couldn’t tell that I was seeing a parody band; they loved what they were doing. Thankfully, such is not the case with […]
Another new track from the forthcoming Blank Range album, Marooned with the Treasure (due August 25th), is now streaming. Listen to more country tinged goodness from the band and mark your calendars for the full release.
My apologies for sleeping on Sad Baxter. They put out a full-length album back in 2016 entitled Weirdy and it just slipped right past me. I had the pleasure of seeing them play The East Room last weekend with The By Gods and they really left an impression. Their vibe is a bit of the […]
It’s actually fortunate that it’s a bit dreary in Nashville today because it serves as an appropriate backdrop to the new surprise release from Makeup and Vanity Set, the soundtrack to the short film Jogger. As with much of MAVS (friendly nickname) catalog, it’s a dark and foreboding piece of work; particularly fitting for a […]
Today, August 4th, Bandcamp is donating 100% of their profits to the Transgender Law Center in support of Transgender Rights. Read more about that, here. In support of this movement, PANGS has released a new song, “Next to Meâ€, that you can purchase for as little as $1 or if you’re looking to donate more to […]
