Song Premiere: The Airplanes

July 13, 2015 RayRay Leave a comment

ATH has long been a supporter of Josh Vest and his bedroom project known as The Airplanes. Over the years we have been treated to some truly incredible and all around delightful pop tunes. Today I’m pleased to premier this new single called “Where You Are Now”. Once again we are treated to some bright, sunny, and easy to get into pop music from a guy living in remote Arkansas who we all need to start paying attention too. Josh also tells me that he might be touring soon so we have even more to look forward to.

Introducing Tim Campbell

January 20, 2015 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Tim Campbell and I go way way back. We met long ago; fans of early emo and post-punk, but we both had a history of country and folk in our families, which is perhaps why we bonded so closely (that and a love for Sonic). So Tim’s just put up an EP of good times bedroom folk tunes, bolstered by his friends in the Fayetteville music scene (that he’s long been part of). I’ve quite enjoyed listening to this self-titled EP…and I hope you’ll spend a little time in your day to listen to his mini-album. And…if you feel so inclined please feel free to donate or pay what you want…we all need help from our friends to make music come true.

The Airplanes Are Back with Another Single

April 7, 2014 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Over the last few years, we’ve tried to acquaint ourselves (and encourage you to do the same) with The Airplanes. The group is mainly the project of Joshua Vest, who just seems to sit around and writing these undeniably wonderful pop songs. They’re straight-forward, with no need for kitschy hooks, demonstrating that he’s capable of writing great songs with little more than a good melody. He’s got a brand new single coming out on April 15th, and we’ve got the track for you to stream below. It’ll make your spirit smile.

New Bedroom Pop From The Airplanes

November 20, 2012 RayRay One comment

While perusing some of our music submissions via the site, I came across some tasty little pop numbers from Fayetteville, AR band The Airplanes. It was difficult to pick which song to post since the band has more than just one solid jam to choose from, but I finally settled on this one called “Paper Hearts”. Honestly, it almost reminds of like a lo-fi version of the Beach Boys, if that makes any sense at all… It’s a great song regardless of my inability to come up with a label for it. Interested parties should check out the band’s entire new self-titled EP available for stream over on Soundcloud.
