Local electro rock duo Cherub have had one hell of a year, including a spot at Bonnaroo, television appearances, and the release of a fantastic sophomore album, Year of the Caprese.

Between the almost daily show previews, reviews, announcements, and ticket giveaways, we hope you’ve discovered some great new bands to check out, or have had the chance to re-visit some old favorites.

Ahead of the Nov. 11 release of their sophomore EP, Prefer You, Nashville’s TWICEYOUNG, who we first told you about earlier this month, have premiered a new music video for lead single “Uncover” (via Noisey). We’re really digging the trio’s sound, and this cinematic, Roland Bingaman directed video only helps enhance the track. Watch below!
