Robin Daily is a Vancouver native but took Music Business & Production Emphasis in Nashville, Ten A Key. He made it quite clear with his first project that his sound was experimental and darker than the rest of the "Trap" that has been coming out in the past year. I personally wouldn't completely call him "Trap" but a experimental darker southern style of it. Four months ago he released his first project " optx " which had 2 great original pieces and 3 remixes including a very interesting take on Led Zeppelin's " No Quarter " & TI & Bun B's [...]
The Joy Of Painting 's newest, Tender Age , will be available to the masses on Tuesday, May 21st via South Division Records, but our friends over at No Country for New Nashville are doing us all a great service by streaming the album a week early. Clocking in right around the 20 minute mark, Tender Age 's only fault is that it doesn't go on forever. Just in time for summer weather and pool hangs, all of the teasers and hype surrounding the Joy Of Painting's latest [...]
Hot off an amazing performance earlier this month at Communion Nashville, Los Angeles-indie rockers The Lonely Wild are returning to Nashville next week on their [...]
Well damn, Nashville synth-pop outfit Future Unlimited calls on actor Shai Labeouf (who's also directed clips for Kid Cudi and Marilyn Manson) to direct the group's new visuals [...]
Dillon Hodges just released his debut full-length album, Rumspringa, but don't let that fool you into thinking he's the new kid on the block. A gifted guitar player, the singer/songwriter won 14 flat-picking competitions (some national) before he was old enough to vote. Hodges has a knack for story-telling as well, infusing raw energy and emotion into each song. His music's made quite an impact thus far: Hodges has shared the stage with The Civil Wars and Paste just listed him as on of the Top 12 [...]

A nude Mac Miller chosen as album artwork will likely leave the majority of teenage girls in a frenzy, but damn Mac... Miller is currently [...]
Maintaining the title of Most un-Southern Rock, Southern Rock Band, The Features shine as only they can with this eponymous release.
As preparation for the release of his forthcoming Rocksmith Clothing sponsored mixtape, #SykDuck, Nashville's Ducko McFli returns with the project's first single "Trill $hit" which features guest [...]
Last Friday, former Fleet Fox, J. (Josh) Tillman...or better known recently as the great Father John Misty, frolicked into town to perform a truly captivating [...]
The Scene just broke the news that Deerhunter (who just release the band's sixth album, Monomania, last week) will in fact open for The Breeders tonight [...]
R∆CHEL // Sorry EP I actually featured a track from this EP on PORTALS last week, but I’ve been listening to the EP a lot and decided that I might as well share it here too. Also I first want to say that, yes, I know that this band has a triangle in their name in place of an ‘A.’ But I’m going to ask that you forgive them this. I’m sure that they know that this is no longer 2011. The guys in Nashville band [...]
Two recent episodes of two of the major-network TV shows that I watch religiously (the just-renewed Nashville and the just-canceled Smash ) got me thinking: Either television has become way too predictable in its old age, or in mine, I spend so much time watching it (usually on my laptop) that it no longer has the capacity to catch me off guard. (Regarding Smash 's cancellation and Nashville 's renewal, both of which were announced on May 10, is there only room in prime-time for two musicals featuring original songs and dueling [...]
The highly entertaining and truly unique Har Mar Superstar reveals the official video for his 2013 standout single "Lady, You Shot Me," which we've had [...]
photo by Nick Duplessis With a name like brotherun , the relationship between the band's two members, Nicholas and Trevor James Tillery, seems like an obvious one. Hailing from Phoenix and residing now in Nashville, the duo's self-proclaimed "whatever-you-thinktronica" scales back on the bleep bloops generally associated with any genre ending in "-tronica" and instead opts for something a little more calm and clean. Their video for "Wishful Thinking," directed by Nick Duplessis, is a firm representation of the band's sound, flashing black-and-white images that waver between a Rorschach test and a virtual [...]
We've been excited about the forthcoming Kyle Andrews album that has been in the works for some time now, and it looks like the wait is about to pay off. Premiered today over at MTV Buzzworthy, "Way To Wonder" stays true to Andrews' indie-pop sound, complete with his signature bouncy cadence and sticky bubblegum melodies that make you want to get out of bed in a good mood, even on a Monday. Click over to stream "Way To Wonder" (caution: autoplay) and keep your ear to the ground for more about Kyle Andrews' [...]
Our favorite weekend of the season is upon us! Starting tonight at 9 pm, East Nashville Underground 's spring lineup hits the East Room for their last festival weekend in the two-story venue on Gallatin Road. Tonight starts strong with the Kicks and the Weeks headlining, and the weekend has no intention of slowing down, with Erin McCarley and Alyssa Bonagura headlining the Saturday day show and the Kingston Springs and Chancellor Warhol taking the big spots for the night show. In the past, we've spared no expense fawning over the Corders and their independent [...]
Former Murfreesboro native and current Nashvillianian T. Rust searched far and wide for the last remaining pay phone, where Taylor proceeds to use his remaining [...]
I came across the band Turbo Fruits for the first time in 2010, when they supported Band of Skulls , my favourite band. It was a very grey and cold day and the people in the audience were quite bored and not very happy. However, things changed, when Jonas Stein (vocals, guitar and former member of Be Your Own Pet ), Kingsley Brock (guitar, backing vocals), Dave McCowen (bass, backing vocals) and Matt Hearn (drums) suddenly went through the crowd to then get onto the stage. They might have come out of nowhere, but [...]
When Chelsea Handler takes her digs at daytime soap operas on her late-night E! talk show, I chuckle politely and call it satire. Although it's not the most original comic concept (and out of context, pretty much any TV show can be made to look like a complete joke), ha ha ha anyway. But when a publication like the New York Times , one with the reputation of being "the paper of record," jumps on that bandwagon and starts taking predictable swings at such an easy target, offering no fresh insight or depth of analysis, it's [...]
