Litton Lions – War and Peace

Recorded in 2010 and released, now, the debut album from Litton Lions is a pleasant grouping of melancholy pop gems. The vocal stylings of Jerry Campbell are very distinct and a welcome return as I haven’t heard them around since the last Millionaire Magicians release.  This release may just be a one-off but it’s seven […]

Date Night – Rough Demo

Don’t do that to yourself Date Night. These three songs may not be as polished as your brain imagined but the rough-around-the-edges performance, visceral energy and enjoying-yourself feeling that comes from the recordings is really working. Maybe they are demo’s but let’s not call them rough.

Heads up. You now have plans for February 13th. 

Black Static Line – Enil

Though it’s self-described as ambient, the latest from Black Static Line, Enil, is much more immersive and captivating than such a label would lead you to believe. Ambience infers a general vibe or atmosphere created by a particular work – which is true here – but their longform soundscapes demand more attention than just a […]

milesprice: My So-Called Band on NYE. Cannery Ballroom, Nashville, TN. More here. For a tribute band, this sure does look like a real deal rock show. ;)

We Own This Town Archive now on Mixcloud. Over the break I happily finished archiving all of the previous We Own This Town podcasts over to a Mixcloud account. You can now hear 63 installments of local rock, folk, electronic and other odds and ends ranging back to September 2005. Granted, there’s a little bit […]

Battlepod #8

I love the Battle Tapes Christmas podcast, Battlepod. This years edition – featuring Tristen and Hands Down Eugene – is no different. Great music and amusing interstitial’s, what more do you need?

SEXX – SEXXMAS

Atypical Christmas songs are always a treat this time of year. SEXX put together these two tracks for a snarly, punk-infused, good time. I love hearing a chant proclaiming the immortality of Santa Claus – fine words to remember this time of year.

Firebreath Media – Firebreathmas Compilation 2014

This compilation of Christmas songs from Firebreath Media has many interesting points to consider: – I’ve heard of almost none of the artists prior to this listing, new artists!– There are some awesomely offbeat tracks here, including (but not limited to), “Town Hall” and “I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas”– All monies earned go to […]

Andrew Combs “Foolin’”

The first single from Andrew Combs 2015 full-length album All These Dreams is now available in the form of “Foolin’.” If this Skylar Wilson / Jordan Lehning produced track is any indication, that album is going to be a good one.
