Dialup Ghost Release Transphobes and Fascists Hate Our Guts (So What)

Leave a comment

I really just want to post this Dialup Ghost song so folks can soak in the message; it’s a vital piece of pop rock coming from the heart of the current fight on trans rights. I figure if you’re one of the folks that visit our site, you’re likely running right along side the band here, as we are. Musically, it’s a little garage-meets-psych folk-pop tune, focusing on the message and camaraderie of the band (and humanity). Don’t really need to say much else, now do I? Just listen. Please.

Mythical Motors Offer Up New Single

Leave a comment

There’s a massive catalog of music coming from Mythical Motors, though it feels like its super easy to indulge when the project releases a great new single, like “Replacement City.” When the guitars rode into the show here, there was this satisfying vibrancy, like I was playing in a ball pit as melody rained down. Then the vocals kick in, embracing this almost arena power rock vibe, though they hide in a bit of obscurity, always maintaining their earnestness. It all circles back, then the latter half rushes forward forcefully, almost hitting you in the face with those big old pop hooks. You definitely can’t go wrong with this jam today!

New Double Single From Trash Man

Leave a comment

With a band name like Trash Man, it’s going to be hard to drum up much information other than the sparse release details and whatnot via bandcamp pages and internet searches. In reality though, who needs information and silly details when you’re releasing songs like this new one “Are You Glad I’m Gone?”. It’s a very last 90s brand of indie rock for fans of early Weezer or even a more straightforward version of Pavement. The rocker A-side also comes with a B-side featuring a more indie pop ballad which plays nicely off of the focus track. Stay tuned for more from Trash Man out of Nashville, TN.

For now, check out several more jams on the Trash Man bandcamp page.

Keeps Share Brand New Single

Leave a comment

Years ago, we befriended Tennessee’s Keeps; we even had them play one of our SXSW parties (before we got priced out of fun). So, recently they reached out to let us know they had this delicious new tune we might want to check out. I was hooked immediately, as they employ this shattering guitar wall, woven in the track’s natural melodic fabric, keeping the heavy pop vibe. In the verses, you get something that definitely feels akin to a lot of modern acts, something you might find on a Good Morning or Hovvdy single too. We just really love the way that chorus kind of rides through your speakers, and we hope you’ll feel the same.

Check Out Body Origami

Leave a comment

Body Origami is a fairly new band from Nashville, TN who I suggest you check out on this fine hump day. The band just sent over this new song called “Sun Pry” which shows tons of creativity and a unique take on the indie shoegaze movement. I’m reminded of some the slower, dancier songs of Broncho or even locals She Sir. It definitely makes me want to sway and bounce along to the tightness of the song.

Body Origami will drop Bright and Only Mine on September 22nd via Broken Circles.

Album Premiere: Mythical Motors

Leave a comment

Mythical Motors - Selections lo-resIt’s not a typical thing for us to premiere an entire album stream on our website, but when it’s full of quality like this Mythical Motors album, we’re down for whatever. So basically what we have here is a career spanning compilation of singles entitled Selections From the Psychics Museum which features 22 songs spanning the Chattanooga based bands entire career. With so many songs for you to dive into, it may seem overwhelming at first for those unacquainted with the band. I say to you, patience my friends, I’m sure everyone can find something to enjoy and take with them. After a few spins, “Full Breathing Costume”, is a favorite of mine. This one is for fans of bands like Guided by Voices, Times New Viking, or even a local band like The Midgetmen. Check it out below.

Fall Break Records will release a limited run of cassettes as a physical release on May 27th.

Don Trip does it again

Leave a comment

Memphis-native Don Trip has been making a name for himself in underground hip-hop for a number of years, however his most notable contributions to the genre have come from his Step Brothers collaborations with fellow Tennessean Starlito. Don Trip had one noticeable blip on the radar back in 2011 but ultimately has not been able to get much attention beyond that. I would entirely attribute that to how brutally honest and baggage-filled his music has always been. Don Trip’s newest offering, God Speed, continues to match the criteria. It’s a great album from beginning to end, including the song “Medicine“, a somber and moving tale about getting caught being unfaithful. It may also be the most beautiful hip-hop song of 2015. God Speed can be picked up on iTunes or Google Play, and “Medicine” can be heard below.
