Local soul/r&b/pop outfit and friends of the site Alanna Royale recently announced that their long-awaited debut full-length will arrive Sept. 16 and will be called Achilles. As those who have been with us for awhile already know, we’ve been telling you about Alanna (which is a band, not a single performer) and singing their praises since basically day one,…

As we’ve told you on numerous occasions, Nashville electro-rockers Vinyl Thief are preparing to release their debut full-length, Fathoms, on July 22. A followup to this year’s fantastic Stop Motion EP, Fathoms will consist of ten tracks, and is, unequivocally, the group’s strongest effort to date (trust us, we’ve heard it)!

The Felice Brothers, Robert Ellis Mercy Lounge; Nashville, TN July 2, 2014 Review by Beth McAllister I showed up to the venue just ten minutes before the show began, and it almost seemed like an awkward middle school dance. Every table against the wall was taken, and no one was hanging out in the…

Ahead of the Aug. 19 release of their fifth studio album, Get Hurt, heartland punks The Gaslight Anthem have unveiled two new singles: “Rollin’ and Tumblin’” and “Get Hurt.” The former is an upbeat and anthemic track, akin to the group’s earlier work, and the latter is a somber, Killer-esque downtempo number.

Asheville (by way of Memphis) rocker Greg Cartwright is a legend in underground music if there ever was one. Though he’s been a part of many successful and largely under the radar groups over the years, the two most prominent, perhaps, are Reigning Sound and the Oblivians.
