I’ve definitely written my fair share about pop punk on the site before, but I don’t think I’ve ever delved much into the neon wave of the late ’00s (mainly because I don’t much care for it, and it was the culmination of the genere’s slow decline). Here, for the uninitiated, is my very brief…
A few weeks ago, we brought you news of the Pioneers, Nashville’s official basketball team (by default). Word of the hoopsters seemed to create quite a stir, and left folks with more questions than answers: What’s the team all about? When/where is the first game? Why do these handsome lads look so familiar? What’s up…
In 2001, the modern wave of pop punk was in its heyday (and I, as an impressionable teen, couldn’t get enough of it). Blink-182 were multi-platinum artists. Jimmy Eat World, Sum 41, and New Found Glory were all over MTV (and wow, MTV still kind of played some videos). Carryovers from ’90s success like Green Day and The…
I was flipping through Songkick yesterday looking for upcoming shows to write about, and found the listing for Natural Child, Fly Golden Eagle, Thunderbitch, James Wallace & The Naked Light playing on Saturday at an unknown venue.

As I’m sure you’re all aware, the Grammy Nominations took place live at Bridgestone Arena last night in Nashville. Included among this year’s nominees are several Nashville locals (and transplants). Obviously Nashville cornered the market on country nominations, as Music City is wont to do, along with other expected nods in Christian, bluegrass, and…
It’s no secret that every single night in Music City we have an infinite amount of live music at our disposal. Tonight especially, there are several great shows on my radar so instead of just picking one to focus on, I’m going to bring you a quick rundown on all of them. It’s a…
Here’s part 2 of our my release coverage for the past week. Sorry for the delay (holidays, releases from bands I needed to spend more time with because I’m not as familiar with them, yadda yadda yadda). I realize it’s already new release day for the current week and I’ll shoot to have this week’s recap…
