Despite having written this blog for years now, I’m still pleasantly surprised by the quality and diversity of music coming out of Nashville. The 3-song EP from Transylvania Stud, The Red Queen, is big riff rock inspired by the likes of Kyruss, Failure and Shiner – with a emphasis on the heavier side of things. Let’s hope these tracks are just a peek behind the curtain of a full album, filled with the same spacey rock flourishes and driving energy.
