I love the space at Club Roar – a great studio tucked away in the Berry Hill area. I recently received a very quick update from Patrick Damphier that they’ve been working with Photo Ops, Night Beds, Steelism, Roy Ira, The Mynabirds,  Field Days and more. That’s a lot of solid Nashville bands to look forward to hearing new goodness from.Â
H
oney Locust – “Blue Rooms”
The first track off the forthcoming The Great Southern Brood. If you’re a fan of DeVotchKa, Calexico or other western inspired bands capable of swelling, emotional, anthemic songs – this one is for you.Â
Wayne Mosh – Crumblelation
Two new tracks from Jason Moore, aka Wayne Mosh. Looks like he’s starting to dive into some weirder vocal approaches but keeping things anchored in the rock world – it’s a nice combo.
Character – Live in Lexington
Remember Character? If not, go scour the used bins and find a copy of A Flashing of Knives and Green Water, you will not regret it. Or, check out this live video of the band playing a rather enjoyable set in Lexington. It takes a moment for the show to start but it’s great to see Eric Williams, Sam Smith, William Tyler, Ryan Norris, Scott Martin, Dave Paulson and Phil Pomeroy doing their thing.

January 14th, 2014
Part 2 of the split EP from Codaphonic coming next week. Looks good, sounds great.
Codaphonic – Mindwrecker Preview
Codaphonic is doing something a little novel with their next release – a split double EP. It’s one vinyl record with two different EP’s per side. Two different producers, two different artists providing artwork and two different styles of approach on each side.Â
Preview the first EP, Mindwrecker, on Youtube now. Join them at The 5 Spot on January 18th to celebrate the release.

Meadownoise – Louder Like a Microphone
As part of the ongoing “Single a Month” undertaking, Meadownoise recently released the January installment – “Louder Like a Microphone.” It continues in the dark vein that the previous two have taken and I, for one, completely approve. If this ends up being twelve tracks in this style it’s going to easily be some of the best of the year.
Circle K – First Six
I dunno if I’d call it a “side project” but Circle K involves at least one member of D. Watusi. So, take that as an endorsement of worth listening to.Â
