Video: The Features - LIONS

The Features , a Nashville group whose live show is "explosive, with elements of psychedelia, krautrock, and indie," are touring in support of their new album Wilderness, which comes out  May 7th via Serpents and Snakes, Kings of Leon's record label. They'll be making a stop at Rock and Roll Hotel on Wednesday (4/4) along with Baltimore's J Roddy Walston and The Business , and we have a chance for you to win a pair of tickets . [...]

Yes, this video's a year old now, but I'll use it to reinforce a familiar Buzz Bands mantra: early arrival recommended. If you are subjecting yourself to the overwrought strains of Kings of Leon tonight at the Hollywood Bowl (or if you're there for indie-rock veterans Built to Spill ), get to the amphitheater early for Nashville quartet the Features , whose 2009 album "Some Kind of Salvation" remains a house favorite at Buzz Bands HQ.

I'd seen the Dexateens at Outback back in 2008 and left that show with my ears ringing and my brain buzzing. So understandably I was pretty psyched for Round 2 at C'ville's iS Venue .

Here's a new video by The Features for the song "Lions," off the newly re-released album Some Kind of Salvation. It's pretty rangy, in terms of styles--from back alley film noir to outer space j... Continue reading "New Video by The Features, 'Lions'" >

We really had no idea that Kings Of Leon had gotten their own label imprint ( 429 Records ), much less that they had signed HAD faves The Features. But, all things being equal, we're not actually surprised. Obviously the Kings have been blowing up as of lately, so the fact that the label is giving them a little creative reign is no surprise. What's more, the first time we saw The Features was opening for the Kings at Slim's! It was a fantastic show, and we have to say, it seems that The [...]
