Don’t Miss HalfNoise w/ Chrome Pony | TONIGHT @ The End
Earlier this year, HalfNoise, the indie rock solo vehicle of Zac Farro (originally, then formerly, and now once again, of Paramore), released his latest EP, The Velvet Face, a swift followup to last fall’s sophomore full-length, Sudden Feeling. Recorded here in Nashville at Pioneer Sound, and co-produced by longtime collaborator Daniel James, the EP marks, perhaps, HalfNoise’s greatest sonic…

Don’t Miss The Used w/ Glassjaw | TONIGHT @ War Memorial Auditorium
Following a worldwide 15th anniversary tour last year, screamo/alt rock scene faves The Used, who just released their seventh album and strongest in years, The Canyon, are back on the road for a trek that returns them to Nashville for the first time in two years tonight, Nov. 15 for a performance once again at War Memorial Auditorium.

Don’t Miss Jay-Z w/ Vic Mensa | TONIGHT @ Bridgestone Arena
Released earlier this year, hip hop pioneer Jay-Z‘s latest, thirteenth, and intensely personal new album, 4:44, is being heralded as a modern classic, the MC’s greatest in years, and certainly one of the absolute best releases of 2017. In support of the new LP, Jay in currently in the midst of a massive North American area tour,…

[NO COUNTRY PREMIERE] Watch Low Mass Perform “Half Asleep,” “Fear,” & “Churches” Live for ‘Sanctuary Sessions’
Founded by members of promising but short-lived local project Cellars, Low Mass bounded onto the scene swinging last year, shortly after their formation, with bombastic and intense debut single “Churches.” Based on its strength and a buzzy handful of live appearances, the group earned positive early praise (in an article for Noisey I also penned, I compared them to the “post-hardcore intensity of…

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…

Jawbreaker to Screen Documentary, Host Q&A Nov. 11 at The Franklin Theatre, Signing Nov. 12 @ Grimey’s
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…

Catch mewithoutYou w/ Pianos Become the Teeth & Slow Mass | TONIGHT @ Mercy Lounge
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. Juxtaposing smart, philosophical and high-concept themes with musical elements of indie rock, alternative, post-hardcore, and…

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’…
