We’ve spoken at length about the new wave of emo and pop punk bands that have been brewing at the underground level, and about how much fresh life and relevance they’ve been bringing to the scene. No group better exemplifies this movement than Michigan (by way of New Jersey) duo Dads. Perhaps lesser buzzed about…

Hot on the heels of the release of their debut full-length album, He Said, She Said, Nashville rock trio The Wans have premiered a new music video (via CMJ), for lead single “Never Win.” Directed by Jason Denton (of local band Tesla Rossa) and Steve Voss, the video shows off the band’s more humorous, self-deprecating side.

Last night, Nashville blues rock duo The Black Keys took a break from their North American tour and stopped by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to perform “Gotta Get Away,” the latest single from the group’s eighth full-length, Turn Blue.

Nashville psych/grunge duo JEFF the Brotherhood have a new EP of covers, Dig the Classics, due out Sept. 30 via Warner Bros., and we’re finally getting an early taste in the form of a fairly straightforward but appropriately fuzzy cover of the Pixies’ classic “Gouge Away.” The record will also include covers of Beck, My Bloody Valentine,…

Photo via Wondering Sound. It appears that it will take not one, but two new vocalists to replace late GWAR frontman and founding member Oderus Urungus (a.k.a. Dave Brockie), who died of an accidental heroin overdose earlier this year. After taking several months to regroup, the part-band part-performance art collective brought former member Mike Bishop (who,…

A lot can happen in a week, apparently. We literally just told you that seminal indie rockers Guided By Voices were set to return to Nashville on Oct. 24 for a date at Mercy Lounge, but, as announced yesterday, that show will no longer be happening, nor will any other scheduled performance, because, once again, Guided By Voices have called it…
