The Weeks Debut New Lyric Video for Old Single, “Buttons”
While O.G. fans of Nashville (by way of Mississippi) southern rockers The Weeks might vividly remember “Buttons” as the breakout single that helped the group first nab national attention way back in ’08, with their full-length release of Comeback Cadillac, it stands to reason that the band may have won over many new fans with their subsequent…

Greg Cartwright to Play Free In-Store at Fond Object July 11; Mercy Lounge Show Nov. 2 with Reigning Sound
Asheville (by way of Memphis) rocker Greg Cartwright is a legend in underground music if there ever was one. Though he’s been a part of many successful and largely under the radar groups over the years, the two most prominent, perhaps, are Reigning Sound and the Oblivians. The latter, punk-leaning outfit, played Exit/In last fall; part…

Vinyl Thief Premiere “Compact” Ahead of July 22 Release of ‘Fathoms’
Earlier this year Vinyl Thief released Stop Motion, a fantastic followup to their 2012 debut EP, Rebel Hill, and something of an appetizer, a way to whet our palettes ahead of the main course: their upcoming debut full-length, Fathoms. While we still have to wait until July 22 to hear the whole thing, the band have begun building buzz…

Don’t Miss Swans w/ Xiu Xiu | TONIGHT @ Exit/In
Seminal no wave/noise rock pioneers Swans have been unstoppable since their 2010 reformation, producing what just might be a contender for their best (or at least most balanced) release ever, To Be Kind, last month. Led by enigmatic frontman and multi-instrumentlaist Michael Gira, Swans’ first run lasted from 1984-1997, with a break just as long until their…

The 2014 Live on the Green lineup has just been announced, and man is it a doozy.

Jack White, Eminem, Lana Del Rey, More Announced for Atlanta’s Music Midtown 2014
It seems like every year, a new crop of amazing music festivals pops up, and, being the conveniently centrally located city that Nashville is, even many of the out of town ones are pleasantly drivable. While it certainly isn’t new (it originally ran from 1994-2005), and it’s only one of several great fests nearby,…

Chromeo to Play Marathon Music Works Oct. 3 with Wave Racer
Canadian electro-funk duo Chromeo are having a great year. Their fourth album, White Women, has been met with nonstop critical praise, as well as the group’s highest chart performance to date, and their latest single, “Jealous (I Ain’t With It),” might just be their catchiest ever, and seems poised to become a smash summer anthem (watch its…
