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 […]
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 […]
