We’ve been huge fans of Waxahatchee, the musical vehicle of skilled songwriter and Alabama native turned Brooklynite turned Philadelphian Katie Crutchfield, since her lo-fi 2012 debut American Weekend, and delighted in watching her stature rise and sound evolve with 2013’s buzzy Cerulean Salt and 2015’s Ivy Tripp. She reemerged early this month with her fourth record, and second on Merge, Out In…
It’s hard to believe that we have been following the career of Becca Mancari for over four years (when we first saw her open for Hooray For The Riff Raff at The End in 2013), and it’s even harder to believe that we just received word that Becca will be releasing her debut LP,…
It’s gonna be a scorcher this weekend in Nashville, but that isn’t going to stop us from getting out to see shows. Our pals at Exit/In are celebrating with a monster block party on Saturday, but the rest of the weekend is also packed with shows big and small with friends, legends, locals, and…
We’ve been following local psych rock outfit The Wild Jays since their first release, “Out In The Fields,” back in the spring of 2016, ahead of the release of their debut record, Murmurations. In the year since the release, the group lost a close friend, and found themselves coping with the loss by writing and working on…
We’ve been following the career of eclectic Mississippi bred songwriter Dent May for several years now, as he has wowed the blogosphere and college radio world with his psychedelic pop infused indie pop, and struck lovable oddball gold with his first three releases dating back to 2009. May has recently relocated from his long time…
Those that keep up with the local music scene know that we unexpectedly lost Ben Eyestone to cancer at age 28 last week. For those of you that aren’t as dialed in, Ben was a talented drummer, who you may have seen slapping the skins for The Lonely H, Nikki Lane, and Little Bandit of…
Garage rockers Faux Ferocious first pinged our radar with their 2015 debut on likeminded local label Infinity Cat, and have provided many a sore neck with their high energy shows around town in the years since. They returned last week to release their latest, self-titled 12″ EP (via Drop Medium Records), which sees the band…
Local scene stalwarts Blank Range have been blog faves since they first formed in 2012. Five years and two EPs later, the road-tested band are finally gearing up to release their debut full-length, Marooned With The Treasure, via Sturdy Girl Records on Aug. 25. The band just debuted the record’s first single, “Opening Band,” which features a laid…
We’ve been following Nashville based R&B/pop artist R.LUM.R since buzzy track “Be Honest” grabbed our attention back in 2015. The incredibly talented singer/songwriter/producer keeps blowing things through the roof with new music and sold out shows, and he keeps up the trend with latest single “Close Enough.” It’s a vibrant and self-aware jam that features R.LUM.R’s…
What first began as a tradition in the ’70s and ’80s, and was resurrected last year, the Elliston Place Street Fest returns this weekend to the Rock Block, with performances taking place at Exit/In and The End, as well as a main stage between the two, on Saturday, July 22. This year’s impressive lineup features The Wild Feathers, Billy…
