Electronic folk duo Foreign Fields have been on our radar for quite sometime, and, while we loved the group’s impromptu live EP release, Tuscaloosa, last year, we’ve been eagerly anticipating the followup to their 2012 full-length debut, Anywhere But Where I Am. The Nashville transplants have been hard at work on that forthcoming record, which has yet to…

New York post-punks Interpol, whose great fifth album, El Pintor, just dropped on Tuesday, stopped by the Late Show with David Letterman this week to perform their latest single, “All the Rage Back Home.” As we previously announced, the group are coming to Nashville’s own Marathon Music Works on Nov. 11, and tickets are available here, or as a special priced…
Since reuniting a few short years ago, seminal indie rockers Guided By Voices have been nothing if not prolific. Releasing SIX studio albums over the span of a mere two years, the group have debuted two full-lengths, Motivational Jumpsuit and Cool Planet, already in 2014. And, while there doesn’t seem to be any danger of GBV calling it…

My one and only prior experience with White Lung was at Bonnaroo, in the summer of 2013. Out of place and under-appreciated, the Canadian punk outfit played on the tiniest of stages, Cafe Where,…
Tonight brings together a wealth of music from Literature, Forwards Edwards and Daddy Issues. The somewhat angst-ridden but definitely pop/dance worthy music that the three bands are seeking to bring to you fine folks will be played at Betty’s Bar and Grill at 9 p.m. with a cover charge of $5 at the door. Two of the groups have recently released…
You’re probably bummed that today is only Thursday and you still have one more day until the weekend, but here’s something that might cheer you up: Communion Nashville continues its stint at Mercy Lounge tonight with a killer lineup that features Jessica Lea Mayfield, Crash, Ruston Kelly, and Anderson East. And better yet, tickets…
