Just a few years ago, it seemed like iconic indie outfit Guided By Voices‘ prolific and improbable reunion had flamed out for good, and our chances of seeing them once more in Music City looked slim. To our pleasant surprise, however, it wasn’t long before frontman Robert Pollard once again willed the band back into existence, recruiting…

Springtime is here, and that means unpredictable spring weather.

Post-rock, post-jazz, indie pop Chicago icons The Sea and Cake have long been darlings of the underground scene, with nearly 25 years and 11 fantastic albums to their name.

For whatever reason, this has been a particularly packed week for fans of bands in the punk, emo, and indie sphere, and this weekend isn’t slowing down, with both a sold out Jimmy Eat World show at The Ryman, and another, slightly less on the radar tour that should be equally deserving of your…

With over 20 years of beloved and essential releases, few bands have been as important to the emo scene or have maintained as much breakout, immeasurable influence as Jimmy Eat World, who first rose to widespread recognition in the early ’00s (but made a big impact in the underground several years prior). While 1999’s Clarity, 2001’s Bleed…

Just over a year ago, now-local emo trailblazers Dashboard Confessional played a sold-out, very special five night residency at The Basement East (along with a surprise acoustic show at The Basement), featuring support from an exciting crop of up and coming local bands, before returning later in the summer for a bigger, more conventional Ascend Amphitheater outing.
