Since springing back to life just a few years ago after a near decade-long split, Massachusetts alt/emo outfit Piebald have been keeping intermittently active, undertaking a small run of festival and tour dates, where they’ve been met with enthusiasm and nostalgia for their criminally underrated original run from the late ’90s to late ’00s, which saw…
Individually acclaimed for their respective decades of fantastic individual work, folk and Tex-Mex infused indie rock duo Calexico and indie folk troubadour Iron & Wine first teamed up for a collective release way back in ’05, a fan-favorite EP called In the Reins. Though they remained friendly and occasionally guested on each other’s work in the ensuing years, their…
As we move forward into not only a new year, but a new decade, there is, inevitably, a period of reflection of the last- a sometimes strange and fast moving era for music, that saw indie rock begin at the absolute height of critical consciousness, before fading in buzz in more recent years. Of…
It’s been over five years since reunited, seminal west coast hardcore outfit Black Flag last played Nashville, and a whopping 35 years since their last show before that. Formed in their youth way back in the ’70s, the group, who had a ton of members in their initial decade-long run, commanding a cult following in their…
If you’re still getting into the 2020 groove, and looking to ease back into showgoing with some quality local tunes, we have a stacked local lineup to recommend for Sunday, Jan. 19 at The Basement East!

Still riding high on the buzz from last year’s stellar fifth album ATW, as well as celebrating an excellent recent single, “1X1,” beloved local rockers All Them Witches are helping wind down the year once again at Exit/In, this time with an impressive three consecutive nights of shows! Though not New Year’s Eve happenings, the Dec. 27, 28, & 29 outings are a…
Since first coming together as a full band (and, for a few years prior, a solo project) around a decade ago, Boston formed and, more recently, partially Nashville based, genre-bending indie, post-punk, and noise rock outfit Pile have become something of critical darlings, DIY icons, and a band other bands love to love, all while hovering…
One of our favorite rising rock acts (and the headliners of, without a doubt, the craziest Acme show we ever hosted), Louisville’s White Reaper are out in support of their awesome, anthemic, critically acclaimed new major label debut, You Deserve Love, on a run that’ll bring them back to Nashville Dec. 19, once again at The Basement…
For a few years running, seminal Dallas psychobilly outfit Reverend Horton Heat have marked the holidays with a special string of Horton’s Holiday Hayride shows, getting into the spirit with a stacked lineup just as acclaimed and complimentary to their punk roots. The band are set to bring the tour back to Music City Dec. 18 for a stop…
