April already? The first quarter of 2013 has flown by! Over the past few monts, we’ve launched our new site, hosted our first show as No Country Presents, covered some great events like SXSW and East Nashville Underground, continued our great local and national news and reviews, and we’ve had our best three months…
Last month, Odd Future bandleader Tyler, the Creator announced that his highly-anticipated new album, Wolf, would finally drop on April 2. Along with the announcement, Tyler released the video for first single “Domo 23.” On Friday, Tyler debuted his second video, for “IFHY” featuring Pharrell, which transitions into part of a track called “Jamba” featuring fellow OFWGKA…
Patty Griffin kills me. As a die-hard music lover with absolutely no musical ability of my own (despite what T-Bone Burnett may say about all girls being able to sing – I offer myself as disproof of his theory) – I’ve often shared with my more talented friends that I want to sing like…
It TMZ is to be believed, New Orleans rapper Lil’ Wayne was nearly on his death bed last week after an alleged codeine overdose due to his penchant for abusing the drink sizzurp. The site went so far as to declare that Wayne had been read his last rites, a statement it later backed away from.…
If you’ve been keeping tabs, you’ll remember that back in January we reported on rumors of influential pop punk/pop rock band Fall Out Boy‘s plans to reunite. Shortly after, we were the first news source to announce the specific details and date of the band’s official reunion announcement. Along with that announcement, the band premiered a 2Chainz-starring video…
Yes, Ravello may be referred to as a feel-good, straight-ahead Nashville hard rock act, and that description may serve them well, but it doesn’t do them justice. As proven by the newest record Nostalgia, they are the Nashville balladeers: a band that does the ballad the right way, again and again. And again. They hit…
Nashville (well, Franklin- but we’ll claim ’em) band Paramore are about to have a really, really big year. Back in January, the group announced that their highly anticipated new self-titled album would finally drop April 9. Along with that announcement, the band premiered a new track called “Now,” followed by the release of a video for the…
Back in January, The Strokes dropped a teaser track (but not an official single) and announced their new album Comedown Machine. That track, “One Way Trigger,” was followed in February by the release of proper first single “All the Time” (which the band also just debuted a brand new video for). Those two tracks lay out a…
It’s been a long time coming, but indie rockers Vampire Weekend are finally releasing their new album, Modern Vampires of the City, on May 6. We previously brought you the art and track listing, and told you about their clever announcement of the details. Now, right after debuting some new tunes at SXSW, we’ve FINALLY…
You probably already know that Justin Timberlake‘s upcoming release, The 20/20 Experience, is one of our most anticipated of the spring. He killed it with “Suit & Tie” and its brilliant David Fincer-directed video. His performance at the Grammys (where he premiered new track “Mirrors”) was top-notch. Justin also just nailed his fifth hosting gig at Saturday…
