Kristoff Waltz – and so on.

From the sound of the posting, Kristoff Waltz is not long for this world. They released a great EP in Feb 2016 and a Christmas Compilation in December but not a whole lot in the realm of new, original, output. It’s a shame because the Innocents EP was a promising one. All lamenting aside, they’ve […]

Evan P Donohue – Rhythm&Amplitude (Demos)

It’s been three years since Evan P Donohue released his last album, Stairway to Evan, and seven years since his first, Rythm&Amplitude. In the absence of new goodness, I’ve turned to his Rhythm&Amplitude Demos that are posted up on Bandcamp. I’m a sucker for a demo recording and these deliver more than just something else […]

Lillie Mae “Over the Hill and Through the Woods”

Solo artist Lillie Mae has been, up to this point, known mostly for her contributions to other projects – namely as a multi-instrumentalist for Jack White’s backing band. She’ll be releasing her solo album, Forever and Then Some, on Third Man Records on April 14th, which you can pre-order here. Long story short, the first […]

Happy Little Trees – We Are Little

Dan Sommers is a man of many projects – Hotpipes, POLY, My So-Called Band, Jay Leo Phillips and The 20th Century and that’s just the few I know of. He also releases his own solo creations as Happy Little Trees; which now has an official sophomore album, release date and preview streams. Swing over to […]

Anchor Thieves – The Nova Riches

Last Friday, Feb 17th, Anchor Thieves released a new 3-song EP entitled The Nova Riches. The distinctive vocal style is as present and pleasant as usual but the music contained within these twelve minutes shows a band growing and exploring new territory. Whereas before they would deliver a 3-minute wallop of indie rock fueled energy, […]

Skyway Man “Plane” From the forthcoming Seen Comin’ From a Mighty Eye – Skyway Man treats us to a bunch of silly dancing in the desert seeped in rainbow effects straight out of the 70′s. If I didn’t know any better, this guy is laying the groundwork for a cult and I want IN.

The Paperhead, Chew The album won’t be officially available until Friday, Feb 17th, but you can stream the brand new LP from The Paperhead right now over on Hype Machine. I’ve no idea how these guys flew under my radar for so long but I’ve been listening to their catalog non-stop. It’s clearly got a […]

Mouth Reader “Crying On Me”

It’s been awhile since I’ve heard from one of my favorite Murfreesboro bands, Mouth Reader, but they just released a single new track “Crying On Me” and it’s a promising, fuzzed-out, 3-minute riff rock jam. That’s a wordy way of saying it’s a rock track that I’d love to hear in a tiny venue making my […]

Nikki Lane on Highway Queen Bandcamp recently posted an insightful interview with Nikki Lane in which they discuss her upcoming Feb 14th album, Highway Queen, her aesthetic and what it means to be an “artist.” That last bit could be deemed a little controversial because it openly recognizes a curated look and feel; both to the […]
