The biggest complaint about the Nashville music scene when viewed from the outside looking in is that there is a surprising amount of diversity of musical offerings. For those inside the “scene” that’s a huge No Duh statement. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t take a step back and recognize that sometimes there really are astounding […]
PUJOL -Â Kludge (AV Club Full Album Preview) I do not know Daniel Pujol personally. However, from all the reviews and interviews I’ve read he’s always struck me as the intellectual type. A reader. A thinker. A rabbit owner. Not exactly personality traits that I associate with sometimes aggressive rock music. His first record, United States […]
Wild Cub – “Thunder Clatter” Live on CONAN Very happy to see the success Wild Cub has been having as of late but I’ll never get over this drumming + guitar technique.
As a former employee of Spongebath Records and current person-in-charge of their official website, I should mention that Self has a new track, “Stranger Than Strange” available on this Autism Awareness compilation Songs for Blake. I don’t mention this out of obligation but, rather, out of fandom. The track sits alongside offerings from Ladyhawke, Digital […]
I’m just stepping into it but this EP from Cumbres Carrascosa (potentially a transplant from the Canary Islands) but what I’m hearing so far is an oddly entrancing mixture of lo-fi, drum machine, drone and pop sensibilities. Certainly not a combination you encounter too often. And even rarer that it would work. Start with “Human […]
Admittedly, “Less Than a Minute” speedy punk songs are not for everyone. That being said, the kind of wild abandon and ferocious energy that comes with these songs has an undeniable appeal. Listening to this you can easily imagine a crowd of onlookers being whipped into a frenzy, I’d say that’s doing something right.
: Tipper Whore – “Tipper Whore Party Programâ€Â Official Video Thanks to the Nashville Cream for debuting the official video for “Tipper Whore Party Program.†The video, from Lance Conzett, captures the band in their finest element – performing live. Nice work! Looking forward to the May 30th album release. (Source: https://www.youtube.com/)
Anytime I see a band tagged “Alternative Rock” on Bandcamp I immediately suspect that the music will be solid and the vocals will absolutely ruin it. Call me a pessimist but that’s been my experience 9 times out of 10. Fortunately, this new track from “save/quit” is an outlier. A lazy journalist (such as myself) […]
I’ve been enjoying the musical undertakings of Majestico for some time but their full energetic vision hadn’t really come to fruition until hearing this record. Their live show was always a visual treat – especially when the insane headdresses were involved – but When Kingdom Come really brings home the combination of drugged out, somewhat […]
I’ve been following the musical undertakings of Jim and Rachel Valosik since my time at the illustrious Middle Tennessee State University. Both have been involved in a number of great bands (Serotonin, Lotushalo) and never seem to disappoint, even when they’re making music that I would not typically contemplate listening to. Bruises is brutal. An […]
Preview the first track from the forthcoming Nikki Lane album, All or Nothin’ (May 6th). Hopefully the whole record is primarily this upbeat.. personally I think that’s where she shines the most.
Nashville Cream is doing some great things with their Live in the Morgue series – such as this exceptional performance from Promised Land Sound. Excited to see more of these, especially if they’re all this good. (Source: https://www.youtube.com/)
