When Caroline Rose first came onto our radar, with the release of her 2014 debut LP I Will Not Be Afraid, we counted her as a promising, albeit fairly conventional, alt-country and Americana rocker. But with her incredible, breakout sophomore LP, 2018’s LONER, Rose bucked everything she previously established, and reinvented herself as a sarcastic, ambitious, self-assured, quirky,…
We’ve written about breakout local act Alanna Royale more times than we can count at this point (since literally their first show), and for good reason- they’re one of the absolute best bands to emerge from Music City in recent years. After moving from Boston in the summer of 2012, frontwoman Alanna Quinn-Broadus and guitarist Jared Colby quickly and organically formed…

Since first coming together as a full band (and, for a few years prior, a solo project) around a decade ago, Boston formed and, more recently, partially Nashville based, genre-bending indie, post-punk, and noise rock outfit Pile have become something of critical darlings, DIY icons, and a band other bands love to love, all while hovering…
As regular readers know, we’ve been obsessing over local duo Sad Baxter for years now, who, with their grungy riffs, pop accessibility, and personal and melancholy themes craft typically sad, sarcastic songs which are delightfully juxtaposed with singalong worthy hooks, making them an essential rising act in Nashville’s flourishing underground rock scene. Their debut LP, Weirdy, arrived in 2016, and since then…
One of our favorite rising rock acts (and the headliners of, without a doubt, the craziest Acme show we ever hosted), Louisville’s White Reaper are out in support of their awesome, anthemic, critically acclaimed new major label debut, You Deserve Love, on a run that’ll bring them back to Nashville tonight, Dec. 19, once again…
Still riding high on the buzz from last year’s stellar fifth album ATW, as well as celebrating an excellent recent single, “1X1,” beloved local rockers All Them Witches are helping wind down the year once again at Exit/In, this time with an impressive three consecutive nights of shows!
