Even though we’ve been in the summer state of mind for awhile, the season’s official start has arrived, and, ironically, has been marked with a whole heap of fantastic fall show announcements. Don’t worry though, there’s plenty of summer fun left, and, if last week’s show previews and reviews didn’t tip you off, we’re…

Spoon just played here in Nashville at Marathon Music Works, Shaky Knees in Atlanta, and have an upcoming performace at Louisville’s Forecastle Festival later this summer. Needless to say, we’ve had a blast with the Austin, TX based indie rock idols this summer, and, all of this attention from Spoon begged the question, when is…

Earlier this week, Nashville rock trio The Wans premiered a new single, “I Can’t Fix You” (via The A.V. Club), which is set to appear on their hotly-antciciapted upcoming debut full-length, He Said, She Said, set to drop Sept. 9. A buzzy and integral part of the Nashville rock community, The Wans have been on our radar since…

It slipped by us amidst all of the pre-Bonnaroo madness, but Nashville synth rockers Wild Cub quietly released a new EP on iTunes, Letters Home from Far Away recently, which features covers, live recordings (“Thunder Clatter,” “Wishing Well”), an an unreleased track (“Shadows”). Of the three covers included, we’d previously heard the group tackle CHVRCHES’ “The Mother We…

OG Nashville resident, Americana aficionado, and occasional country outlaw Justin Townes Earle has announced his long-awaited fifth album, Single Mothers, which is slated for a Sept. 9 release on his new label home, Vagrant. A followup to 2012’s fantastic Nothing’s Gonna Change the Way You Feel About Me Now, Single Mothers adopts a more grownup and mature thematic perspective, a…

Nashville psychedelic rockers Sol Cat seem to morph with every new release (just look at the difference between their grungier, indie rock focused self-titled full-length, and the more synthed-out, moody Welcome to Cowabunga EP, both released last year). If their latest single (and its accompanying, summer-y video), “Bread on the Table,” is any indication, we’re getting…

It’s been a minute since we’ve chatted about Nashville melodic indie-rockers The Golden Sounds, but, with an interesting new album coming out, it’s time to pick up the proverbial bullhorn again. Last month around this time, the latest album, Waiting On The Birds, was released, and, interestingly, included an accompanying short story that was written…

Ahead of his June 24 show at The Ryman, Wilco frontman Jeff Tweedy has announced that his first-ever solo album will actually be a new project with his 18 year old son Spencer, simply called Tweedy. Their debut will be dubbed Sukierae, and has been tapped for a Sept. 16 release. Tweedy are on the road now, joined…

We’re back from another epic year of Bonnaroo, and working hard to catch up, bring you coverage of the fest, and return to our regularly scheduled content for the week. We might still have ‘Roo on the brain, but nothing is slowing down here in Music City, with summer performances still in full swing.…

It’s unlikely that anyone (outside of those really well versed in the late 90’s Vancouver, British Colombia pop scene) would have ever called The New Pornographers a super group. Fast forward almost 15 years since their founding, and you would be hard pressed to find anyone to say anything otherwise. This collective includes core…
