This one managed to slip by us last weekend (shout out to Nylon for the premiere), but Nashville’s Tristen has premiered a new music video for “Catalyst.” The track is one of our faves from the singer’s amazing new album, C A V E S, which we’ve been raving about for months, and even named one of the Best…

As we told you last week, Nashville-born Miley Cyrus aired her very own MTV Unplugged last night, Jan. 29, ahead of her upcoming Bangerz tour, which makes a stop at Bridgestone Arena on April 18. Between her Disney ties, recent affinity for club jams, and top 40 over-production, it’s easy to forget that, at her core, Cyrus was raised in…

UK trio White Lies have played Nashville exactly one time, in 2009, at Bridgestone Arena (then the Sommet Center) with two local acts: Kings of Leon and Mother/Father. Performing in a hard environment to make a first impression and supporting a band that’s a little out of their wheelhouse, it’s hard to say that White Lies have…

We headed down to Legends on Broadway to ol’ Fortune Teller Willie Nelson and he told us “The Skins are about to blow the F up.” Since forming in 2012, Brooklyn, NY’s The Skins have played two sold out tours supporting UK band The Heavy and have crushed at Afropunk Fest, CMJ & SXSW.…

We brought you the album stream of Freaks from The Hawk In Paris back in November, and now the Nashville trio has a video for the title track of that release. The video officially premiered on RyanSeacrest.com (are we behind the times that we didn’t know that existed), and was directed by Nashville-based videographer, Grant…

Nashville rockers Feedback Revival just dropped the first video from their self-titled sophomore album for the track “Carry On”. The emotive alt-rock ballad is beautifully portrayed in the video, compliments of Joshua Mendez, David McKay, and Dan Fenton. Leading lady Stefani Paige Elrod isn’t too hard on the eyes either. If you dig what…

Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros are making their way to Music City in support of their 2013 self-titled album. Excited, much? We are. Drawing from the sounds of the late sixties and early seventies, Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros not only create a psychedelic vibe but they create a sound that has…

Photo by Sean Marshall Nashville, by way of Kentucky, rockers Switchmen have dropped a new single, “Around Town”, and it’s what those of you out there that revel in americana inspired rock n’ roll have been clamoring for. The tune was produced in Nashville by Rafe Van Hoy, who wrote a plethora of #1’s in the…

Ah, the lost “art” of the music video. While there are some notable contemporary exceptions (such as ∆, Bat For Lashes, Arcade Fire, Fiona Apple still going strong, etc) — it feels like nobody’s wasting any time on these things in the straight-to-Youtube-just-before-forgotten-time of RIGHT NOW. And that’s partly what makes this week’s Diversion…
