As we mentioned in our August recap, local indie rockers and favorites of the site, COIN, inked a deal with StarTime Intl./Columbia Records, and are hard at work on their debut full-length, which is expected to arrive sometime next year. Things have been a little quiet on the local front for the guys, with their…

Sucré w/ The Honey Trees, Merriment 12th & Porter; Nashville, TN September 10, 2014 Review by Philip Obenschain (@pobenschain). Photos by Mary-Beth Blankenship. It’s always tricky when an artist whose identity is inextricably linked with a band, and a family band at that, pivots to a solo outlet, and, often, it can be received with mixed…

As we’ve previously mentioned, Nashville’s PUJOL is one of several local artists set to release a special cassette tape on this year’s Cassette Store Day on Sept. 27. What we didn’t tell you, is that the record will be a reimagining of the singer’s 2012 full-length debut, United States of Being, dubbed Reunited States of Being, honed and improved by Pujol’s…

With all of the nonstop touring, festival appearances, televised performances, chart topping success, baseball fandom, and live/special videos and releases, it’s easy to forget that Nashville rocker Jack White, has, so far, only released one official music video in support of his critically-accalaimed new sophomore album, Lazaretto.

Much like Free Throw, the group bring to…

New York post-punks Interpol, whose great fifth album, El Pintor, just dropped on Tuesday, stopped by the Late Show with David Letterman this week to perform their latest single, “All the Rage Back Home.” As we previously announced, the group are coming to Nashville’s own Marathon Music Works on Nov. 11, and tickets are available here, or as a special priced…

Nashville’s Free Throw are “emo revival” done right. Since first discovering them amidst Music City’s surprisingly strong and unsurprisingly communal underground punk scene, the group have remained a standout on our radar for their pure, unabashed love for ’90s emo, underground indie rock, and old school pop punk, juxtaposing raw, earnest vocals and emotional lyrics with…

Since reuniting a few short years ago, seminal indie rockers Guided By Voices have been nothing if not prolific. Releasing SIX studio albums over the span of a mere two years, the group have debuted two full-lengths, Motivational Jumpsuit and Cool Planet, already in 2014.

White Lung w/ Mormon Crosses, Idle Bloom The End; Nashville, TN September 9, 2014 Review by Philip Obenschain (@pobenschain). Photos by Mary-Beth Blankenship.
