The last time Quiet Slang– the stripped down, desconstructed configuration of Philadelphia punk group Beach Slang- played Nashville, it was out of necessity. Shortly before a national tour, the band shed several members, and singer James Alex was forced either to drop off or carry on, opting for the later, reworking Beach Slang’s material…

Returning to headline The High Watt on June 26, after passing through last fall to co-headline a show with !!!, Atlanta’s Algiers are a profoundly artistic, socially urgent, refreshing and genre-bending project that should be on everyone’s radar.

Few musical reinventions have been as stunning or as gratifyingly well-executed as Caroline Rose‘s turn from alt-Americana up and comer to full-fledged synth-punk-pop-feminist rock badass with her stellar new sophomore effort LONER. Quirky, darkly funny, self-assured, and unique, Caroline Rose has never seemed more in tune with her own artistic self-expression, and when she returns to…
