Zook – “What’s It To You”

There’s a looseness and lightness to “What’s It to You” that makes it immediately enjoyable. The combination of choral oompa’s and screeching guitar is a surprising delight contrasted with the lounging energy of the rest of the song.

Dave Paulson announces TOMMY BOY album

Dave Paulson – of NORM, The Privates and My So-Called Band – is set to release a concept album based around the 1995 Chris Farley vehicle, TOMMY BOY. The album, “Sandusky, Ohio”, is set for release this Friday, June 22nd.

110: Beth Cameron of Forget Cassettes, Ponychase, Black Bra

This episode, we stray from the mixtape of new music format and sit down with Beth Cameron – best known for her work as Forget Cassettes – and discuss the hardships of being a female in the recording industry. While we certainly cover the basics of how she got into music, the recording process of her first album Instruments of Action and what she’s up to now, we also dive much deeper into how Nashville culture can do better about listening, finding empathy and how being vocal is the only road to a safer, inclusive, caring city.

Charlie & The Evil Mothers – “Every Day is Sunday”

Every Day is Sunday by Charlie & the Evil Mothers The debut, self-titled, album from Charlie & The Evil Mothers was released back in April (we loved it) and I’ve been anxious to learn if that meant we’d experience a dearth of new music from the outfit as they worked the album cycle. Fortunately, that’s […]

Kyle Andrews – Robot Learn Love

A record that manages to mash big guitars and small accents perfectly. For instance, the first track “Make Me Feel Human”, explodes with guitars but treats you with the most perfect twinkling keyboard. It’s a combination that Andrews pulls off with great aplomb throughout the duration of the record.

Makeup and Vanity Set – Run

Run by Makeup and Vanity Set We posted about the last Makeup and Vanity Set EP, PRIS, fairly recently but it’s worth pointing out that he’s already released a follow-up that continues to world build on the previous. If you’re a sci-fi fan, the name Pris should ring a bell as a reference to Pris […]

9: Ronnie and Nancy

In Episode Nine, Vidalotry explores Gore Vidal’s humorous criticism of the Reagan administration. Host Ryan Breegle looks at Gore’s initial dismissal of Ronald as a convincing politician, his good-natured jabs at Nancy, and his overall concern that the United States was governed for eight years by a talented cue card reader.

Season One Funale

In the season one finale, POLY bestows the show with a Busby Berkeley worthy theme song to set the stage for diving deep on Hott Minute itself. Before that, Jamie speaks on the benefits of a well-fitting bra or bralette while Ashley stumps for the goodness of the PBS App. Important discussions are had on the hotness of empowerment and the attributes beyond the physical that define “Hott.” Also, plenty of Kit Harrington, Zac Efron, Bo and Luke, John Slattery and Daniel Day Lewis

Pumpkinseed – “Dumbass Day”

Dumbass Day by Pumpkinseed Cookeville’s Pumpkinseed is closing in fast on the release of their third full-length album, Big Believin’ Sky, and have posted two tracks to tease you to the full offering. The latest is “Dumbass Day“, a gently rolling track that builds into a cathartic release with plenty of horns, piano and the […]

Oubliette – The Passage

The six-minute track is a cathartic release of screamed and growled vocals mixed with hammering drums and some pleasantly intricate guitar work. It’s definitely metal but it’s not trying to murder you.
