2020 marks the fifth year of the Defy Film Festival, a gathering of independent film creators focused on genre-breaking selections that was named “Best Indie Film Festival” by the Nashville Scene.

Jordan XX – “Highs and Lows” (Official Video)

There’s an absolute music video renaissance happening in Nashville and it’s largely entirely hip-hop videos.

Stereo Specter – “Golden” [Premiere]

Optimistic music is hard to come by. Or, rather, listenable optimistic music is hard to come by. When an artist is aiming for that uplifting feeling it generally comes with the baggage of being overly corny, forced euphoria or, even worse, a completely empty gesture. With “Golden,” the latest single from Stereo Specter, all of […]
