Philadelphia punk outfit Beach Slang, who we recently saw absolutely destroy at Exit/In opening for legendary emo group Braid, are finally gearing up to drop their debut full-length, The Things We Do To Find People Who Feel Like Us, this fall, following an incredible amount of buzz over the past year fueled by just a handful…
As announced last month, supergroup The Dead Weather (featuring Jack White, The Kills’ Alison Mosshart, The Raconteurs’ Jack Lawrence, and Dean Fertita who performs with various Jack White projects as well as Queens of the Stone Age) are set to release their long-awaited third album Dodge & Burn on Sept. 25. Though several tracks that will appear on…
Nashville’s own Bully, currently experiencing an massive and massively well-deserved wave of critical praise for their full-length debut, Feels Like, stopped by Conan last night to perform single “Trying,” marking their national television debut. In the span of two years, the local grunge pop outfit, led by producer/songwriter/frontwoman Alicia Bognanno, have grown into one of the best rock bands…
Eclectic Atlanta punk/indie/post-hardcore group Microwave have been making waves in recent months, getting scooped up by SideOneDummy shortly after self-releasing their stellar debut LP, Stovall. While they pass through Nashville on a semi-regular basis, we understand if they’ve stayed just below your radar (they weren’t on our until earlier this year). So, if you haven’t had a…
California pop punk revivalists The Story So Far, touring in support of their eponymous new album, have announced their first proper Nashville date in three years, Nov. 14 at Rocketown. And, as if that wasn’t enough to amp up our anticipation, reunited post-hardcore/melodic hardcore/alternative group Basement, whose 2012 full-length Colourmeinkindness still stands as one of the scene’s absolute best albums…
Announced last month, Scottish synthpop trio CHVRCHES are set to hit the road this fall in support of their forthcoming sophomore LP, Every Open Eye, due out Sept. 25, and will be returning to Nashville for the first time in two years to perform at Marathon Music Works on Oct. 27! We’ve been digging on new single “Leave a Trace”…
Back in June, we announced that Canadian dance punk duo Death From Above 1979 were set to perform at Third Man Records’ famous Blue Room on July 16, returning after a Marathon Music Works outing last fall. However, a week before the show, which, unsurprisingly, had promptly sold out, the group were forced to cancel due to visa…
Save for a local show here and there, things have seemed relatively quiet for Nashville hip hop artist Chancellor Warhol this year (don’t take that to mean he’s not working hard behind the scenes though; we’re told he has some huge stuff in store). After a few weeks of dropping hints, the artsy, alternative MC has…
It’s only been two months since this year’s Bonnaroo, but, per usual, the annual, Manchester, TN-based music and arts fest is already eying plans for next year, starting, of course, with officially announcing the dates. This shouldn’t come as much of a shock for ‘Roo diehards, since the fest has taken place the second weekend of…
Reviewing something that falls short of expectations is never a fun task, whether it’s a band you love having an off night, some new artist who can’t live up to their own hype, or, in this case, a full-fledged music and culture fest. Transported from the west coast to Nashville, last weekend’s Ink…
