Unless you were particularly dialed into the early ’00s punk, emo, and indie scene, and/or you were a teenager or twenty-something in South Florida early last decade, you could be forgiven for not remembering The Remedy Session. Hailing from Ft. Lauderdale, the trio, who harbored a sound reminiscent of peers at the time like The Anniversary,…
Two of the coolest, buzziest, and most refreshing fixtures in the synthy, r&b infused indie pop scene, both with creative careers fostered in Brooklyn, breakout duo Wet and singer and multimedia artist Kilo Kish are teaming up for a co-headlining tour with LA indie pop up and comer Hana Vu, which brings them to Nashville’s own Cannery Ballroom on March 11. After a…
It’s hard to believe that bands made famous by the ’00s emo scene are hitting the two-decade mark, but that’s exactly the case this year for seminal Long Island outfit Taking Back Sunday, who formed in 1999 and quickly became an underground fixture, before breaking out with cult favorite debut LP Tell All Your Friends in 2002,…
Though individual members of beloved New York hip hop trailblazers Wu-Tang Clan have made regular appearances in Nashville in recent years, performances from the whole sprawling unit have been much more rare. Memorably, the group appeared at 2013’s star-studded Bonnaroo, but haven’t made it to Music City proper in much longer, potentially dating back to a…
After passing through Exit/In in recent years (and, notably, packing it out), Portland indie/electro pop faves STRFKR are gearing up for a Music City return that sees a bit of a bump in room size, bringing them to Cannery Ballroom on March 6 with Kansas City indie pop up and comers Shy Boys. While it’s been a couple of years since…
Now 15 years into their existence, instrumental Chicago based trio and longtime staples of the post-rock and post-metal scene, Russian Circles are set to return to Nashville for the first time since an unlikely but awesome Ryman appearance in support of Mastodon in 2017, for their first Music City headliner in as long as we can remember…
Though hardly a new musical fixture, profound and genius English artist Dev Hynes has found immense critical acclaim for his latest, r&b and electronic drenched solo vehicle Blood Orange, particularly since the release of last year’s stunning fourth album Negro Swan, widely regarded as one of if not the best album of 2018. On tour for…
After springing back to life in 2016, and steadily showing how a proper reunion is done in the years since, with festival appearances easing into tour dates (including a 2017 return to Nashville), personal mending, attention to fan service, and the foresight not to overstay their buzz, beloved New Jersey post-hardcore icons Thursday are ready to wind…
For the past several years, we’ve watched Boone, NC eclectic rock outfit Rainbow Kitten Surprise balloon from a buzzy indie fixture to a nationally lauded, major label backed, must-know band, frequently stopping through Music City on their ascent, each time with impressive new tunes in tow. After stopping through last spring to play Cannery Ballroom, not…
Festival season is still a few months away, but, already, anticipation is heating up for this year’s stellar slate of nearby events. One of the most-anticipated 2019 lineups of all comes from from Louisville’s Forecastle Festival, a longtime No Country Favorite, which takes place July 12-14 at the city’s downtown Waterfront Park, a picturesque downtown setting for incredibly well-organized event. Forecastle…
