It’s a relatively light weekend for my music picks, but here you go. We’ve already told you about The Black Angels, Night Beats, Paperhead show over at Exit/In, but there are some other options that you should think about. Glossary & Jasmin Kaset are going to be ripping it up on Friday night at…

The announcement of My Morning Jacket as headliner of Soundland on October 6th has them a bit more on the radar for us than usual. So, it is fitting that they just leaked a track from the upcoming EP Outta My System: Remixez Y Friendz. The leaked track is a super vibey chillwavey version…

Maybe you guys know about them already, but they are new to me. I just stumbled upon Chattanooga noise popsters Moonlight Bride a couple of weeks ago, and I wanted to throw up a couple of players for ya. They don’t have any tour dates on their website right now, but I’m sure they…
