City Limit Tapes – Nashville (Indie Dance)

Another quality mix from Atlanta’s DJ Skarface exploring the non-Country, non-SingerSongwriter side of Nashville. This entry in his series takes on the Indie Dance realm with bits of tracks from Cherub, Wild Cub, DotCom, Jensen Sportag and a host of others.

JEFF the Brotherhood “Mary of Silence”

If I’m reading my press release correctly, the new JEFF the Brotherhood record, Global Chakra Rhythms, is released on November 13th. This first preview track, “Mary of Silence” is a nice bit of insight into the psychedelic vibe it contains. This is the JEFF I’m a big fan of – the more psychedelic, somewhat darker […]

City Limit Tapes – Nashville (Rock)

There’s a series of mix tapes (of which I will post all of over the next week) that showcases different acts from the Nashville area outside of the stereotypical assumption of what Nashville *sounds* like.  This is the same cause that We Own This Town has its eye on so I full support this endeavor. […]

PUJOL “Designer Feelings”

This is the first PUJOL release that, to me, seems to retract a bit of the snarl of previous releases. I don’t want to call this a Softer Pujol but that IS what I’m calling this. It’s still plenty of his signature frantic energy but it feels like manic and more in line with the […]

Timid Death “Knowledge is Stupid”

You know what I always say? Nashville needs its own version of GWAR. Prayers have now been answered in the form of Timid Death. Let’s hope it just gets more absurd from here. (Source: https://www.youtube.com/)

Forget Cassettes – Beth Demos, Vol I In early November, limited edition cassettes containing demonstration recordings spanning from 2006 to 2013. You can hear “NICHOLAS” right now and more on the way soon. 

All Them Witches – Dying Surfer Meets His Maker  Steer your browser over to BrooklynVegan to listen to the new All Them Witches album in its entirety. It’s the right thing to do.

Chris Crofton / PUJOL Split Cassette

Lots of great releases came out of Cassette Store Day 2015 but I was the most taken by this split release on BURGER Records featuring Daniel Pujol and Chris Crofton. It’s an oddly effective mixture of paranoia from both parts and you can hear the whole thing here.

Quichenight – Quichebeat 2015 mixtape

This Quichenight odds and ends mixtape only has one available song at the time of this posting - “There Is a Time” featuring Tristen – and if it’s any indication of what the rest of the release is like, it stands the chance of being the best thing from Quichenight yet. It’s tough to say that […]

Mental Collapse – The Deceiver’s Prophecy

I truly believe that, every so often, one should berate themselves with some honest-to-goodness hardcore metal. Giant sluggy riffs, vocals screamed in a way that convince you the end is near and drums that pound unrelentingly are a nice reminder of the kind of Real Fucking Power music can have. Mental Collapse checks all those […]
