If, somehow, you don’t know the name John Williams, you are, without a doubt, still familiar with his music. Arguably the best-known composer alive, and certainly the most influential film composer of all time, Williams’ staggering credits include scoring the likes of Star Wars, Harry Potter, Jaws, Indiana Jones, Superman, Jurassic Park, Home Alone, E.T., and countless other classic films, the sounds of which…

We recently came across a show listing for Fond Object “Downtown,” which, without being able to uncover any additional information, we shrugged off as a typo. It turns out, however, that our favorite Riverside Village neighborhood record shop, which first opened its doors back in 2013, is, in fact, plotting a second location, and it’ll be open…

Though his influence has certainly waned some in recent years (no pun intended), seminal rapper Lil Wayne is, nonetheless, one of the most important and prolific artists in modern hip hop.

Ahead of the April 21 release of their highly-anticipated debut full-length Guppy, and before their recently-announced April 29 headlining show at The High Watt, Brooklyn bubble-grunge outfit Charly Bliss have premiered a music video for their latest single, “Percolator.” Like their last track “Glitter,” the new tune feels more refined and self-aware, still hooking us in with the band’s unparalleled knack…

That new music came even quicker than expected, with the recent news that Earle’s eighth album, Kids in the Street, will arrive May 26 via New West…

It’s only been a year since thrash metal pioneers Slayer last played Nashville, but, after a more than 15 year gap before that, we certainly won’t say no to a return visit so soon. Set to hit the road this summer with Lamb of God and Behemoth, the legendary band are back July 30, this time in the larger Municipal Auditorium after a…

Leading up to the release of their 15th album Oczy Mlody, a trippy, psychedelic return to form, earlier this year, The Flaming Lips released an especially prolific string of videos, including “The Castle,” “How??,” “Sunrise (Eyes of The Young),” and “Nidgy Nie (Never No).” Now that the record is out, the group still show no signs of slowing down,…

Two of the ’80s greatest musical duos, Hall & Oates (who, nowadays, go by the more formal Daryl Hall & John Oates) and Tears for Fears are teaming up for a massive, nostalgic, North American summer tour, and the hitmakers are aiming high, with arenas booked all over the continent, including a May 24 outing at Nashville’s own Bridgestone Arena.…

After a busy, buzzy couple of years, things have been quiet lately for local alt rock outfit Moseley, whose debut full-length still has yet to materialize. That hasn’t slowed down frontwoman Suzie Chism, however, who, after announcing a new project a few months back, has finally given us a taste of what she sounds…
