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. And, while there doesn’t seem to be any danger of GBV calling it…

Are you a fan of dreamy, layered indie rock and pop, chock full of harmonies, haunting arrangements, and unparalleled melodies? We thought so. And, if you are, you will DEFINITELY want to head to 12th & Porter TONIGHT for Eisley-offshoot Sucré, along with The Honey Trees and Merriment.
We’re not sure if it was something in the water, but the music industry seems to have collectively deemed today worthy of unleashing countless great albums. Amidst a surprise U2 release, a new instant classic from Ryan Adams, and new singles from Fall Out Boy and Weezer, several great artists whose upcoming Nashville dates…
We’ve been raving about White Lung since first catching them at Bonnaroo (an unlikely place, to be sure) in the summer 2013, and TONIGHT at The End, we’re thrilled to have a chance to check them out again in a more properly intimate, punk-approproaite space. While we’re not entirely sure, this appears to be the Canadian punk/hardcore group’s first-ever Nashville performance,…
Less than a week after delivering one hell of a Live on the Green performance, and participating in the latest DCXV “Shop Session,” Nashville indie rockers Daniel Ellsworth & The Great Lakes have premiered a brand new music video for “Phantoms,” the latest single from the group’s sophomore full-length, Kid Tiger. The video premiered though Conan‘s website, so,…
