The MIDI fueled sounds of Murfreesboro’s Moshi Moshi will certainly not be for everyone but there’s a manic energy and overall doped out optimistic vibe to it that I can’t resist. I think I’m also a sucker for any artist that embraces the art of the ridiculous song title – i.e. “Gwen Used Me For […]
Have you ever been curious what Murfreesboro sounded like in 1998? Well, steer your ears towards the four song EP of House of Radar to get an idea of the creations being concocted. There’s really no better time for them to unearth these recordings as they actually sound like something a 2015 contemporary would create. […]
The Features – Special Place Been awhile since we heard from The Features, eh? Well, wait no longer! They’ve launched a Pledge Music campaign where you can pre-order the new album, Special Place. Get on it, you know it’s gonna be good.
When it comes to the experimental, noise metal circuit I’m fairly clueless. What I do know is that this insane wall of sound is really something to take note of. I can’t help but think it’s equal parts absurd and entirely immersive. Honestly, I’m as scared of this as I am intrigued.
The self-described label of Minimal Ambient Drone artist is no joke – listening to this song is a wash of sound akin to the lulling sounds of traffic or the ocean. But it’s also an undersell because there are some very active portions of the music, a place to focus. The prior EP, 01a, is similar […]
Not gonna lie, the muddled, swirly, underwater sea vocals are what sold me on this driving track from Bravemaker. The lyrics are indiscernible but it’s a strangely alluring effect for me.
I hate to do this but as a child of the 90′s, I have a hard time hearing a lot of new music without instantly making comparisons to their grunge predecessors. It’s unfair but it’s my knee jerk insight. The debut EP from three-piece Reality Something feels alarmingly like a Juliana Hatfield release – somewhat […]
For those that remember Tetsuo, the name Ardis Redford may sound familiar as he was one of the primary members. This new EP, No Center, continues in a similar vein as that former project – rock with an emphasis on the harder side of things – but it’s softened a bit. There’s female vocals present […]
Did you know Murfreesboro has a record label entitled Third Ham Records? One of their latest releases is The Eggs from tomato face featuring tracks such as “Robo Swineâ€, “Fish Styx†and “Bananaroo.†It is awkward, ridiculous, silly and deserving a smirking grin of appreciation in their general direction. Oddly enough, if you listen to the Live Versions, […]
There’s a nice simplicity to this song that brings an extra allure to it through the slightly off center vocal stylings. It’s poppy, it’s nasal-y and it finds that sweet spot of melancholy introspective paired with upbeat pop styles. I kinda wish it took it even further and really exploded at the the end but […]
WXNA Kickstarter Help build Nashville’s next great radio station. All the info you need is on the Kickstarter page but I implore you to support this. Nashville needs these kind of voices.
I’m ignorant to the prior works of Phil Stanley and Naughty Water but there’s something decidedly Brit-Rock to this Broadside release. Tracks like “It’s Not Alright, Alright†have that distinctive bass line, catchy gang vocal choruses and just the right amount of jangly. Granted, those ingredients describe a great deal of music but the production and […]
