Rock Paper Scissor – The Mouth Trumpet Christmas Album

I’ve posted this many times before and, if all goes well, I’ll post it many times again. This is the best and only Christmas album you need. I imagine these mouth sounds were toiled over for weeks on end because the end result is absolute perfection. Here’s the thing, I’m not overselling this. Yes, I’m using way too many […]

Anchor Thieves “Relapse”

It’s been a minute since we’ve heard from Anchor Thieves and their previous release, Malefactors, but they’re backwards! This time, with two new songs continuing to carry the torch of fuzzed out pop-rock. 

Nahnee Bori – Mr. Man

I fully admit it’s a bit of a stretch to post the latest album from Nahnee Bori as a Nashville project but bear with me – it’s a damn fine album. The artwork from Rachel Briggs really helps to sell the idea that the music within is being orchestrated from some otherworldly place. It’s childish […]

Scale Model “El Cheapo”

Directed by Seth Graves. An excellent combo of green screen, crappy effects, fun costumes and clear instruments.  (Source: https://www.youtube.com/)

All Them Witches – Live When you’re known for having a big, immersive, wall-of-sound, ear bleeding style rock show, it behooves you to release some live renditions of your songs to remind people what they’re missing if they’re not coming to see you. All Them Witches took it one step further and just released fifteen […]

Honey Locust – “God Bless the Blues (Live)”

This may be old news by now but Honey Locust has a live 7" available on Wild Kindness Records. The b-side is “Always On My Way” and by simply purchasing the vinyl you get an entire digital EP of goods. Sounds like a damn fine deal to me.

C.N.i. Cow – Bangin’ n Twangin’

Apparently C.N.i Cow have been making music since the mid-90s but I’m just now stumbling upon their surf rock offerings. It does it a disservice to say that it is exactly what you’d expect when you think of song titles like “Gidget and The Rogue Wave.” It’s upbeat, it’s dance-y and it’s probably the exact […]

Fumbled – I Wish My Computer Could Sing

Some lovely bedroom electronic knob twiddling to get you through the week. The band name mixed with that album title create a nice atmosphere for the tone of the record – augmented by a note from the author: listen to this album in the cracks of the day when you have time to yourself to […]

palaverrecords: Now THAT’s how you get all the boys to come to the yard. Henry Killian, The By Gods, Brief Lives and Hurts to Laugh at Palaver Thursday. Rock n Roll is alive and well in Nashville, TN.

Norm – Remember

The newest EP from NORM goes into some new territory – fully embracing the dance floor style anthems that he’s hinted at in the past. I’m still absorbing it but it’s a fresh style injection that I’m enjoying. The remainder of the EP isn’t quite as energetic but you gotta come down after such a […]

Rakso “Crack”

I don’t post near enough hip-hop on the site. Despite that, this track by Rakso is inspired by MF Doom and is a solid listen. As with most hip-hop beats there’s not a ton of deviation but that’s part of the zoning out allure…
