The Alarms – Real Tough Love

The easiest classification of The Alarms is Rock Music. Lots of soaring choruses, jangly guitars, driving drum beats and flourishes mixed in throughout. It isn’t rough around the edges, it’s polished and perfected.  This isn’t meant as a fault to describe the band, it’s actually what helps set it apart. Even moreso  for me, is […]

Steelism - “The Serge”

Very excited to see that Steelism has a series of new EP’s coming out. The first track, “The Serge”, is from The Drawing Room, Volume I and is available to pre-order on CD here. 

Volume 68 Some editions of this podcast are better than others but this particular edition seems like it’s already hit my heavy rotation. Music in Nashville is in a GOOD place right now and these seven songs help exemplify that diversity and enjoyability. Stream It | Download MP3 Wildfront – Love is Not Eternal repeat […]

Bedroom “Work This Out”

It’s been nearly a year since since BEDROOM released anything but Noah Kittinger has roused from his slumber and released another breezy lo-fi summer track for all to enjoy.  

Omniscient Art – WE WILL

I rather enjoyed the previous release from Omniscient Art – The Rift – and WE WILL seems to continue in the same vein. Instrumental explorations with hip-hop, ambient and avant-garde roots. 

Supermelt – Nobody Else

First off, accolades should be given to these guys for shortening their name from Ben Spinks Supermelt to, simply, Supermelt. It more properly embodies the bombastic rock they’re capable of without giving you some sense of silliness before you even hear a note. Secondly, GREAT work to them for putting together such a fine record. […]

Natalie Prass – Bird of Prey

Great new video from Natalie Prass showcasing one of the finer tracks from her latest self-titled album. It’s a simple video full of vibrant colors and an entrancing performance from Prass. There’s also a great feature on her over at Yours Truly. Be sure to read that. (Source: http://cache.vevo.com/)

Quinn Erwin (MEMO)ries

Quinn Erwin has set himself up with some creative restrictions for his (MEMO)ries project. The song itself must be recorded by the Voice Memos app and only one instrument (and vocal) will be involved. He even uses the phone to create the artwork.  Recording yourself playing acoustically into a semi lo-fi recording device isn’t anything […]

Charlie Shea ;-(

I know nothing of Charlie Shea. His bandcamp profile consists of two words - “fuck off.” What I do know is that his various songs and EP’s are filled with upbeat garage rock, crunchy ballads and weird indie rock. Honestly, it’s a lot of good ideas and excellent execution. I may have to fuck off but […]
