FACT: Nothing ever really dies, especially when the Internet is involved. “I Tried†is a track from Hurts to Laugh first album, released in 2006. Now that the band has evolved to include Buddy Valens and Stevie Ray Ramone, they re-recorded the track and re-issued the video. It’s an amusing green screen extravaganza and certainly has that […]
Jensen Sportag “Levitation Dream†I’m real late to the party but I’m just now coming across this new Jensen Sportag track posted in January.  By my count their last album, Stealth of Days, come out in late 2013. That’s a solid four years for any new output but they’ve always been known to take their time […]
Pencillin Baby have continuously refined their formula of immersive psychedelic tunes with just the right amount of garage rock punch. I think their song “Working Man†from their 2016 Cryptic Fantasies EP is one of the most overlooked gems of Nashville in last year. So, don’t sleep on the new EP – Who Cares – as […]

There’s such a wild variety of great new music flowing freely from our fine city that the difficult part has become selecting just a half hour of music. It’s a great problem to have. Download […]
Another blazing example of the wealth of diversity of styles that can be found emerging from Nashville.
Unsurprisingly, the first two new tracks from Steelism’s forthcoming sophomore LP, ism, are completely infectious. Nice to see them start branching out by adding guest vocalists. Lots more details on this over on The Cream, so I’m sure you already knew about it. Regardless, it’s fine work that’s going into heavy rotation. (Source: https://www.youtube.com/)
The cover art for Solid Hex’s latest EP features the Twin Towers surrounded by smoke and a coastline of New York littered with televisions, radios, a beheaded Statue of Liberty and a copy of George Orwell’s 1984. What does it mean? How does the bedroom rock record play into this apocalyptic vision? Why is there […]
God bless the weirdos of the world willing to noodle with sounds and experiments in their privacy of their own brains and then share their oddities with the world. The six song EP is a lo-fi pop album filled with bizarre guitar sounds, melancholy observations and often baffling edits. It’s a refreshing dose of honest […]
Mirror Mirror podcast I admit it, the new Mirror Mirror podcast has next to nothing to do with the music scene but I can’t help but share new compelling undertakings from the Nashville area.
