Heavy metal legend and shock rock pioneer Alice Cooper just played Nashville in the fall of 2014, opening for Mötley Crüe, but it’s been awhile since he last made his way to Music City with top billing.

Grammy nominated Brooklyn hard rock trio Highly Suspect stopped by Conan last night to perform “Bloodfeather,” the latest single from their critically acclaimed 2015 album Mister Asylum. Capitalizing on the platform, singer Johnny Stevens took a moment to urge America to vote for “anybody but Trump,” before launching into the song.

Seattle-based surf-tinged poppy punk outfit Tacocat fell onto our radar in 2014, with the release of their criminally underrated sophomore album NVM, and subsequent tour that brought them to The Stone Fox.
