For The Sake Of The Song: Rebecca Roubion, Hannah Miller, and Levi Weaver @ The High Watt Tonight.
•
I turned 30 on Friday. I was told by some friends that now, I’m supposed to hate loud music and embrace the fact that spicy food might aggravate my ulcers. Well, I still do like loud music. However, there comes a time when it’s not the volume that counts—it’s the quality of the song,…

I don’t even know why we are bothering to write this. Justin Bieber is in town, folks. I know that everyone who reads this little rag will be crammed into Bridgestone Arena on Friday night surrounded by shrieking teenage fans. This is one of the hardest tickets this town has ever tried to get. As…

I remember listening to NPR in my car while driving in Green Hills, and they were doing a music segment on neo-soul artist Kendra Morris. They played a clip of the song “Concrete Waves” off her latest record Banshee and it immediately caught my attention with its dark, psychedelic, guitar-driven intro that seemed to recall the mysterious…

The Delta Saints release Death Letter Jubilee & Grimey’s In-Store

Nashville’s The Delta Saints have been hard at work.

Bloc Party This Friday @ Cannery Ballroom! | 1.18.13
•
Brit rockers Bloc Party are set to perform in Nashville this Friday, January 18, at The Cannery Ballroom. I believe this marks the band’s first stop in town since 2007. Released late last summer, the band’s latest album, Four, found the post-punks’ triumphant return to form after a three year hiatus. Four takes the band’s signature danceable, Britpop-influenced indie rock and pushes it…
