It’s been about three years since beloved Christian post-hardcore outfit Underoath announced they were reuniting with their They’re Only Chasing Safety era lineup, embarking in 2016 on their first tour with that incarnation of the band in over half a decade, which returned the Florida group to Nashville for a chaotic show at Rocketown, where they performed the aforementioned 2004 effort Safety and…

Over the past few years, New York synth pop project Porches, helmed by eclectic artist Aaron Maine, has become a critically beloved fixture in the indie scene, especially since breaking out on a wider scale with soaring 2015 sophomore effort, Pool, which Maine followed up earlier this year with gloriously synthy, layered, and masterful new album The House.…

After bringing both alt metal titans Tool and weirder alt/experimental project Puscifer to town in recent years, and appearing solo at City Winery in support of his memoir, eclectic (and incredibly busy) rocker Maynard James Keenan is back tonight, Nov. 2 at Bridgestone Arena with his alt/hard rock supergroup A Perfect Circle for the second year in a row, a continuation of…

Combining elements of early…

Over the years we’ve seen artsy, adventurous Canadian hardcore band Fucked Up at a variety of spots around town like Exit/In and Third Man Records, but when they return Nov. 13 in support of their first proper album in four years, the brand new Dose Your Dreams, it’s to headline The High Watt for the first time- a pretty inspired choice, as…

Last summer, we first introduced you to exciting new local project Smart Objects, when we premiered their debut single “The Autumn Man.” Since then, we’ve seen the band grow to become a regular live fixture in the local scene, amass lots of positive press, and further the buzz around their first single with a great video…

What initially began as a solo vehicle for frontman Ben Schneider, LA indie folk outfit Lord Huron quickly generated buzz for their early work and debut full band album, Lonesome Dreams, in 2012. Envisioned as a sort of artsy, wistful, urban cowboy aesthetic (a motif they’ve evolved beyond), the band have always meticulously matched their image…

Breakout Dutch DJ, producer, and multi-instrumentalist San Holo only released his debut full-length, album1, a few months ago, but after a few years of swiftly rising buzz, attention throughout the blogosphere, charting singles, stellar EPs, and a live show informed by a rock and roll background, he’s far from a newcomer at this point. Out on the…

With news that Nintendo’s retro box the NES Classic managed to outsell flashier current-generation video game consoles over the summer, it’s clear that video game nostalgia is all the rage. If that love for old Nintendo games has hooked you as well, then you’re going to want to meet Athens group Bit Brigade. Adopting conventional…
