DANCE LIKE NO OTHER
Quichenight is the moniker of Brett Rosenberg and in the last four years he’s released multiple cassettes that have some how floated under our radar. The albums are filled with splendid powepop songs reminiscent of Emitt Rhodes, Todd Rundgren and Big Star. If the dude above looks familiar, you’ve probably seen him playing guitar in the latest lineup of…
NOTS & NOTS AGAIN
Memphis punks - NOTS - are hitting America’s highways this summer and their first stop is Nashville! The last time they graced us with their presence was in January of 2013 with Parquet Courts at The Owl Farm. They’re back tho and performing with Nashville’s own D.

Ivy is one of the younger groups associated with New York’s recent punk rock renaissance (Hank Wood, Crazy Spirit, etc), peddling a kind of schizophrenic rock and roll combined…
Ashin Out the Details
Every once in a while when we’re hangin out at the house, we’ll scroll through and Google our favorite bands, friends, family, (and sometimes ourselves), and most the time it comes back with a new tour or photo, but nothing really surprises too much. But then, there’s a week like this which proved to be a rare exception….
Dripping With Looks
Drumrooooooll please. From the same team that brought you the Big Star “Third” album set and the first proper Townes Van Zandt reissues (both more than worth your hard-earned money) comes a full catalog reissue of 80s LA DIY poppers Game Theory. Although sadly restrained to regional popularity, Game Theory managed to nail the sweet spot between new…
