I dunno what happened but at some point I decided that Sol Cat was a hippie jam band that wasn’t BAD but just wasn’t in my wheelhouse. However, upon seeing the artwork for their new EP, Uno, I decided to reconsider that baseless opinion and revisit their offerings. If the first track, “Tumbleweedâ€, is any indication […]

The beauty of browsing Bandcamp to find some new Nashville gem is that sometimes you find something really surprising. The instrumental album, The Rift, from Omniscient Art is influenced by hip-hop, shoegaze, symphonic touches and even the avant-garde. Even the cover art is a treat – glitched out just perfectly so. Definitely did not expect […]
The sounds of JOTA ESE continue to get more realized and immersive with each release. The tracks are, mostly, quite short but they create such a distinct atmosphere in that short amount of time. The samples seem to stem from sources ranging from jazz, hip-hop and conversations snatched from the outside world. It’s often a […]
Thanks to a recent Lightning 100 performance you can preview a new track from The Features entitled “Keepsake.†If you’re more into familiarity, you can also listen to “Two Hearts.†(Source: https://www.youtube.com/)
Matt Bell has a long list of projects under his belt – Silent Friction, Pink Spiders and the Dozen Dimes to name a few. His latest, Broken Bats, comes out of the gate with the kind of rock earnesty you’d expect and hope for. Lots of big riffs, memorable hooks and, for lack of a […]
I’ve been a casual fan of Truth Clipsy since he first appeared (on my radar) with JOTA ESE back in 2012. He’s continued to put out a solid body of work since then and continues to do so with The LION. The style of beats runs through a nice varietal – rock influence, club electronics […]
On Faux Ferocious latest, Beautmont, There’s a nice balance of the bombastic rock onslaught you expect (see “Let Me Get In Your Headâ€) and a more balanced, tension filled release. It’s a short EP but plenty of fist pumping goodness from start to finish.
Love the building tension throughout this dark pop song from Bravemaker. I don’t know much about these guys but if this is any indication of what to expect from them, I’m in.
You may have noticed a demo in the last podcast from a band called Nightblonde. Who are these mysterious folks? Well, they’re a new outfit focused on making a blend of electronic, ambient and pop with an eye towards retro-futuristic themes. Or, at least, that’s what I can gleam from the three demo’s they’ve posted […]
Local musician Ender Bowen is looking to commemorate the 10th anniversary of his third album, Lemonymous, by re-mastering and re-releasing it via this Kickstarter campaign. It’s a modest goal and a fascinating undertaking for an album that was overlooked back in its original release. Usually I tend to think I’m aware of most of the […]
