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 […]
*repeat repeat “Girlfriend†I’ve had *repeat repeat’s “Plugged In†in rotation for over a year, never tiring of it’s charms. In that time, they signed to Dangerbird Records and formally announced the release of their album Floral Canyon on September 15th. All that is to say, I’ve been anticipating new music from the band for awhile […]
The first single, and title track, from Jessica Lea Mayfield’s forthcoming album Sorry Is Gone is now streaming in this desert-set musical-chairs new video or over on Spotify. The album will be available September 29th. (Source: https://www.youtube.com/)
If you haven’t found the time to watch the short film, The Privates, inspired by the band of the same name; do so stat. If you have watched it, you’ll want to steer yourself over to the Original Score now available on Bandcamp and revisit the three main pieces from the film as well as […]
The first track from Bully’s forthcoming sophomore album, and Sub Pop debut, Losing emerged in the form of “Feel the Same.†As one would hope, it’s a logical extension of the grunge vibe from the debut album, Feels Like, but with a bit more polish and layering up of harmonies. Or maybe it’s entirely different than that, […]
After compiling this edition of the podcast I immediately starting putting together the *next* volume; quickly tearing through all of the great music that has come out recently.
I know very little about Jonesiii From the Moon, aka Dedrick Jones, but the four tracks he’s posted on Bandcamp as a preview for his forthcoming album, The Moon is Watching Us (due Sept 10th),  is a compelling argument for learning more. The overall tone is laid back but he’s managed to mix mysterious spacey vibes […]
Total honesty policy, typically when I hear a group of songs that begins with a soft acoustic guitar coupled with hushed, intimate, vocals I tend to skip ahead to the next thing. Fortunately, when listening to the Demos from Dark Party, aka Carmen Canedo, I forced myself to indulge a bit further and discovered some […]
