Are you really going to place your shiny new sleek iPad 2 in an ugly rubber or plastic case? I suggest something more deserving of this magical device. Something that will protect with simplicity but stand out as a handsome eye-catching case. The elegant Autum Turncoat ($144) is handcrafted in the USA from a single cut of 6 oz, domestically tanned black leather and accommodates your iPad 1 and iPad 2 with or without a smart cover. Four hand fastened duty snaps securely hold everything in place and allow for quick access [...]
Cory Mon & The Starlight Gospel manage to mix Americana and Country influences with Folk, Rock & Blues to create something all their own!
Turncoats , the sophomore release by Cory Mon & The Starlight Gospel, will be released March 31st. A fantastic mix of gentle bluegrass instrumentation and simmering Western blues, the album is at times reminiscent of The Felice Brothers . Strangely, the only true weakness to be found on Turncoats is in lead singer-songwriter Cory Mon's voice. Though by no means bad, his vocals seem lackluster compared to - and occasionally sound strained keeping up with - the excellent arrangements on the album. The [...]

Not really a holiday song I suppose, but since I spent the bulk of yesterday digging out from under the big east coast blizzard, here's one in honor of the snow day many people experienced yesterday or today The Turncoats - Snowday Previous [ 1 ][ 2 ][ 3 ][ 4 ][ 5 ][ 6 ][ 7 ][ 8 ][ 9 ][ 10 ][ 11 ][ 12 ][ 13 ][ 14 ][ 15 ][ 16 ][ 17 ][ 18 ][ 19 ]
One day, 90's Indie music is going to be rediscovered by a new and enthusiastic set of youthful scavengers, and we'll be plunged back into a world of Union Jack guitars, grand, empty choruses and second albums with lots of orchestration. For now, the memory of Britpop's eventual excesses is still too raw, and any hint of a Britpop re-imagining is accompanied by fearful shudders and nightmares of Kula Shaker reunions. But there are shoots of 90's endeavour emerging - and just look at Turncoat 's 90's-scented list of influences. Ride, [...]

Brighton band Turncoat [Adrian Imms (lead vocals, guitar, and keyboard), Chaz Newman (guitar, keyboard, backing vocals), Luke Ellis (bass), and Alex Hobden (drums)] this week released "Wasted On You", the new single from the Regal Singles Club. It's a very catchy Britpop gem, rather like the 90s-era of Britpop, think Mighty Lemon Drops, Hurricane #1, and Inspiral Carpets. "Wasted On You" was released on a 7" limited edition vinyl. Sales of the vinyl are limited to 500 copies, but there are no limits on sales of the digital download. You can hear "Wasted On You", and [...]
Is everyone having a great Labor Day? Hope you're chowing down on burgers, drinking some beer, and planning out your schedule for this week's Next Big Nashville . It starts in only two days and you have more than 130 bands to choose from, so I'm here to offer another batch of 10 mp3s from arists playing the festival. But before I get started, the winner from my Next Big Nashville giveaway is Jeff H . Congrats Jeff - check your email and I'll see you at the [...]
As if you couldn't guess this entire week of 24 Hour Party Pooper is dedicated to the Athens PopFest . Why? Because it's my favorite annual event in Athens (our annual Christmas parade notwithstanding). So, that being the case along with the fact that I'll be attending at least 85% of all these shows, there really seems nothing else more important to write about music-wise this week. (Oh, for a neat little story about PopFest and organizer Mike Turner, who is a dear and close friend of mine, check out Paste Magazine's feature .) [...]
Get ready for another special edition of Out the Other - tonight I'm going to have Murfreesboro's very own Turncoats hanging out in the station. The band has two great shows lined up this week - first up, they'll be playing tomorrow night at Exit/In at Some Kind of Weird Pink Breakfast Candles , a John Hughes movie soundtrack tribute and local band extravaganza that's taking place as a part of the Nashville Film Festival (poster after the jump). Then on Friday they're playing at Casa Burrito in Murfreesboro, which I [...]
