Black Caverns – EP

Black Caverns
EP
Free Download

When a band tags their music with “Isis”, “Ocoai” and “Mogwai” you can be pretty confident you know what you’re getting into before ever hitting the play button. The debut EP from Black Caverns delivers exactly what you’d expect – seemingly quiet songs that build into an explosion of guitar brutality. It’s not a new trick but it’s a welcome one. The free download is worth a listen but I suspect an ear splitting live show would be even better.

More Nashville Christmas Tunes

Be sure to revisit the previous post regarding Christmas music available from some Nashville artists (Quichenight and Calicocat) to keep your growing collection complete.

Caitlin Rose teams up with Keegan DeWitt for this original melancholy diddy. It sounds, unsurprisingly, like it could be a classic country tune you just never had the pleasure of hearing before. Download exclusively from RCRDLBL.

Kyle Andrews had a busy year with the release of Robot Learn Love but he’s going ahead full steam with this EP of slightly silly Christmas tunes. Okay sure, it’s from 2009 but it’s new to Bandcamp and, potentially, new to you. Listen here.

Madi Diaz released her holiday tune “I Hope That It Snows” on iTunes, Amazon and Spotify and features a collaboration with the previously mentioned Keegan DeWitt as well (he’s the Go To Christmas collaborator). It’s a song about a sentiment that we can all recall from our childhoods – nothing better than a Snow Day.

We Own This Town Video Archive (Beta)

For awhile now I’ve been saving Nashville related videos into a Youtube playlist and a Vimeo album, hoping to create central spots for people to catch up on the video offerings from Nashville musicians. However, visiting two separate places is a pain in the ass. Fortunately, a little service called VHX made it easy to merge video sources from YouTube and Vimeo into one embeddable stream. And with that, I give you the WOTT Video Archive. Granted, it needs a better name and some nerdy technical sprucing up but, on the whole, it’s nice have a central spot.

TL:DR version – I’m storing videos from YouTube and Vimeo into one central repository for your convenience. Be sure to submit your new videos when they come out so I can add them to the list.
