excellent new video from Friendship Commanders featuring a lot of Nashville cemeteries and some black-and-white iphone footage. It works surprisingly well for the upbeat rock fury of the song. It is worth noting that the grave Buick Audra is standing in front of in the second half of the video belongs to Chris Feinstein. Feinstein […]
Been really impressed with the full-length debut from Murfreesboro’s VampTones. It’s clearly influenced by the likes of surf rock, punk attitudes and high energy pop fury. You know that feeling when the band is furiously tearing through a song and you’re beaming while throwing rock fists? Yea, they do that.
Sturgill Simpson - A Sailor’s Guide To Earth This is an unpopular opinion but I don’t always get Sturgill Simpson. From a helicopter view, I’m a fan of throwback country vibes as the next guy and I’m way into anyone that can modernize the style and make it accessible to new audiences. Even with all that in […]
I did not know Jim Ridley, Editor-in-Chief of The Scene, but I have felt his influence all around me in more ways than I could ever count. Many of my friends are journalists that have published under him and learned from his tutelage. The Scene in general has been a phenomenal source of championing Nashville, in no […]
The debut full-length album from Adia Victoria, Beyond the Bloodhounds,  is due out May 13th. You can hear the studio version of the song “Dead Eyes†over on Soundcloud but the energy and ferocity is well captured in the live version embedded above. (Source: https://www.youtube.com/)
The East Nashvillian – WTF Have you felt the tension around Nashville lately? #NewNashville vs #OldNashville. It’s a real thing and, I promise, it’s not going to stop anytime soon. This article from The East Nashvillian – WTF – is worth a read as it captures the frustrations of Newcomers vs The Established quite well. […]
The 1999 album from Phosphene just recently made its way on to Bandcamp and I am highly enjoying the eclectic ride. The album starts with very familiar production values and emo-y post-rock feels but quickly dives deep down a rabbit hole of various alternate styles. You can hear touchstones of Trent Reznor and David Lynch […]
Enjoy this first track from Okey Dokey – the collaborative project of Sol Cat guitarist Johny Fisher and bassist Aaron Martin. It’s got a bit of a doo-wop  mixed with bedroom pop psychedelia vibe going on. I look forward to more. via No Country for New Nashville
The Lees of Memory – Unnecessary Evil The second full-length from The Lees of Memory is available for pre-order over on PledgeMusic. I can not imagine a scenario in which this album is disappointing, so go ahead and get it.
*repeat repeat – Podcast Podcast Did you know repeat repeat has a podcast now in its tenth episode? Well, they do and it’s quite enjoyable. Go give it a listen and then go see them on April 5th at Third and Lindsley.
It’s been a minute since we’ve heard from Bravemaker but, slowly but surely, he’s been releasing some great new songs at a pleasingly trickle pace. The latest, “1234567″, a fuzzed out, rolling-tempo rock song. The choral oohs are undeniable.
Remember when I recently admitted to being totally shocked that some legit Vaporwave was coming out of Murfreesboro? Well, turns out that there’s plenty more where that came from. Ardis Tilson is a man of many projects and Usenet just happens to be his Vaporwave moniker, done in great collaboration with Lauren Croney. To be […]
