Bandcamp covers Nashville DIY Electronic Scene

Bandcamp, our favorite site for discovering Nashville music and for distributing music directly to fans, recently featured the Nashville DIY Electronic Scene with a rather lengthy article covering a handful of bands from the DIY Electronic and Underground scenes. Aside from WOTT favorites R. Stevie Moore and bleary, they also give plenty of press to […]

Smart Objects – “Run Your Own Way”

“Run Your Own Way” shows that Smart Objects is willing to explore new territories. Fortunately, those new explorations still keep the heart of what makes the band so enjoyable – serving up pop songs with densely layered instrumentation and surprising flourishes

The Schwa – Bound to Happen

It’s remarkable to hear the result of songwriting written by a group potentially influenced heavily by the late 90’s, mid 2000’s barrage of BritRock bands.

le skunk – Putter

The latest (and technically first) EP from le skunk, PUTTER, starts off like a lost AC/DC track but quickly reveals itself as a brilliant dose of pop rock with garage sensibilities. Both “Nothing to Lose” and “One of a Kind” are catchy as hell with their subtle keyboards, call-and-response chorus and constant driving guitars.

Makeup and Vanity Set – PRIS

The latest offering to emerge from MAVS is largely dark and foreboding but there’s a tone that is much less Horror Film and more Troubled Sci-Fi.
