Listen to Wild Cub Cover Drake, CHVRCHES, More on New EP
It slipped by us amidst all of the pre-Bonnaroo madness, but Nashville synth rockers Wild Cub quietly released a new EP on iTunes, Letters Home from Far Away recently, which features covers, live recordings (“Thunder Clatter,” “Wishing Well”), an an unreleased track (“Shadows”).

mewithoutYou ‘Catch Us for the Foxes’ 10 Year Tour Comes to Cannery Ballroom Oct. 8
As excited as we were for indie/experimental rockers mewithoutYou‘s recent winter stop at Exit/In, we’re even more indescribably elated that they’re extended the 10 year anniversary tour for their beloved 2004 album, Catch Us for the Foxes, to our neck of the woods, with an Oct. 8 stop planned for Cannery Ballroom. Foxes holds a special, nostalgic place in our hearts,…

Sol Cat Premiere Video for New Single, “Bread on the Table”
Nashville psychedelic rockers Sol Cat seem to morph with every new release (just look at the difference between their grungier, indie rock focused self-titled full-length, and the more synthed-out, moody Welcome to Cowabunga EP, both released last year). If their latest single (and its accompanying, summer-y video), “Bread on the Table,” is any indication, we’re getting…

Pokey LaFarge to Play Mercy Lounge Sept. 13
American musical traditionalist/revivalist Pokey LaFarge has been a favorite of ours since we caught him last year at his label home, Third Man Records, as well as last winter at Mercy Lounge.

Watch Diarrhea Planet’s Epic Full Bonnaroo Set
We already posted some thoughts and photos from Diarrhea Planet‘s epic Bonnaroo debut over the weekend, but, now you can see the rowdy, rocked out, and rambunctious performance for yourself in its entirety, thanks to YouTube user TompDogg. Bonnaroo’s New Music On Tap Lounge could barely contain the Nashville rockers’ energy or antics, and, as…

Patrick Sweany Debuts “Every Night Every Day” Music Video
It seems like it’s been a bit since we brought you news about local blues rocker Patrick Sweany, but, if you’ve been with us for awhile, you’ve certainly seen us talk about the talented singer-songwriter on numerous occasions. His latest full-length, last year’s Close to the Floor, is fantastic, and not dissimilar to his Nashville by…

First Aid Kit to Play The Ryman Oct. 29
It’s no secret that we LOVED Swedish sister act First Aid Kit over the weekend at Bonnaroo, so, understandably, we were ecstatic to learn that the duo are set to make their debut at The Ryman this fall, Oct. 29. Johanna and Klara Söderberg have worked their way up the ranks of Nashville venues since exploding onto the scene in 2010,…
