I had the pleasure of escaping my family holiday routine in Atlanta Thursday night to see Diamond Rugs inaugural show at The Earl in Atlanta, and let me tell you they did not disappoint. For those that don’t remember Diamond Rugs from our “Get to Know” post, they are a “supergroup” composed of Deer…

Music is very cyclical, and you constantly find artists recycling sounds into modern versions of older ideas. That is exactly what I thought of when I first heard Battle Avenue. It’s a growling rock and roll that grabs bits and pieces of the 90’s grunge sound with an updated sound that is full of…

Here’s another tiny, tiny, tiny list of music releases that I think are worth a little bit of your time this week. Wouldn’t it be great if this was a massive release week? Almost everyone is just biding their time at work with skeleton crew offices this week. You would have plenty of time…

I’m gonna give you a reason to check out some music on Sunday night. I usually take Sunday off from the blogging front to rehab the ole’ brain with some football and relaxation. But, let me tell you about a reason to get off your couch on Sunday night. Nashville bands Girls and Money,…

Do you remember me talking about that little Nashville/Knoxville band called Best Friend a couple of months ago? They are that cool lo-fi surf rock sounding band that is reminiscent of some bros that have listened to a lot of Girls with forays into Pavement and Bright Eyes. Unless you happened to be at…
