While I don’t suspect the sounds of Red Forest Hunter are for everyone they have deep roots in the Nashville / Murfreesboro rock community so it’s well worth mentioning. The band features members of Serotonin, Lotus Halo, Short Ropes and Hostages. If those names mean anything to you, then the sound Red Forest Hunter is offering should already be familiar to you – aggressive, math-y rock. They’ve got some videos up on their Facebook page to give you an idea of what to expect from them further down the line.

In a bit of shocking and disheartening news it appears that The Groove will be shutting their doors this month and, hopefully, relocating to a new spot. This announcement states that this Sunday June 20th will be their final open day – with a weeklong sale on all new and used merchandise to help them par down on the amount of stuff that has to be moved. If you’ve somehow managed to never step foot inside this fine establishment in its three years of operation please find some time over the next few days to get in there and show your support.

The Armed Forces (aka Brandon Jazz) has annoucned his latest endeavor as a 7″ for the song “Radical Luv” with proceeds going to Nashville Flood Victim Benefits. Despite not being a huge personal fan of the music (the antics are great) it is, undeniably, a fine idea. Mr. Jazz has setup a Kickstarter campaign to help reach his creation goal and it’s got some excellent Pledge Prizes to go along with it. Listen to the A Side, the B Side and get involved.
