Catch The Maine w/ Dreamers & Night Riots | TONIGHT @ Cannery Ballroom
•
Hailing from Tempe, Arizona, pop punk turned nostalgic alt rock revivalist act The Maine rose to prominence in the late ’00s, as part of the short-lived “neon wave” of radio-ready pop punk. Unlike most of their peers (many of whom have since faded away), the group have always benefited from a more transcendent, timeless musical sensibility, and…

Taylor Swift to Play Nissan Stadium Aug. 25
•
After around a dozen performances at Bridgestone Arena over the past decade, pop megastar and former/sometimes Nashville resident Taylor Swift has opted to elevate to stadiums rather than multi-night runs at arenas when she hits the road in 2018 in support of her just-released new six album, Reputation, and when she returns to Music City on Aug. 25, it’ll be at Nissan Stadium this time…

•
Earlier this fall, after 21 years of the occasional rumbling and rumor being swiftly shot down, seminal punk band Jawbreaker finally reunited for an inexplicable and inspired reunion at Chicago’s Riot Fest, reported to be a one-off (along with two more intimate club shows leading up to it), something of both a gigantic reintroduction and a fitting moment…

•
Hailing from Philadelphia and formed at the turn of the millennium, art-rock/post-hardcore outfit mewithoutYou return to Nashville tonight, Nov. 10 for the seventh time in three years; something that would normally seem excessive, but for a band this good, we’d devour their every show.

Mindy White Embraces Electropop with Debut Solo Single “Lifted”
•
Since joining beloved Arizona indie rock outfit Lydia a decade ago, at only 18, then departing to form supergroup States with (then-former) members of Florida indie mainstays Copeland, local singer Mindy White has always been an artist both tied to her well-received projects, and heralded apart from them, despite never really stepping out solo (the occasional cover song notwithstanding). Nearly four years removed from States’…

A Canadian singer-songwriter with a penchant for folk, who performs live under an assumed moniker, Bahamas was born Afie Jurvanen. The Juno nominated artist and former Feist collaborator has, in recent years, become a frequent performer in Music City as well as a festival favorite, and his third and best LP to date, Bahamas Is Afie, was easily…

Hear Sad Baxter’s “Baby” Ahead of 7-inch Release | See Them Nov. 18 @ Little Harpeth
•
We’ve been obsessing over local duo Sad Baxter for years now, who, with their grungy riffs, pop accessibility, and personal and melancholy themes craft typically sad, sarcastic songs which are delightfully juxtaposed with singalong worthy hooks, making them an essential rising act in Nashville’s flourishing underground rock scene. Their debut LP, Weirdly, arrived last year, and since then the group have only…

Earlier this year, the band finally released a followup, A Deeper Understanding, which, awash with heartland rock, synth, and retro influences, marks the group’s most expansive, ambitious, and strongest record…

Catch Citizen w/ Sorority Noise & Great Grandpa | TONIGHT @ The Basement East
•
Hailing from Michigan and Ohio, Citizen are part of that new wave of up and coming emo-infused, poppy, indie punk groups we love to rave about. Though they started out as more of a pop punk band, Citizen quickly found inspiration from grunge, post-hardcore, and, of course, emo and indie rock, captivating the scene with their…
