New East Nashville Co-op Record Label Releases Darrin Bradbury’s Elmwood Park

September 21, 2016

(East Nashville, TN) “Our love is like the meth lab in your mother’s basement, crudely born from jugs far too willing to explode…” That is the opening line and a perfect set up for songwriter, Darrin Bradbury’s latest release aptly titled Elmwood Park: A Slightly Melodic Audiobook. Featured this year in Rolling Stones’ 10 New Country Artists You Need to Know,Bradbury’s narrative style and quick witted punchlines draw frequent comparisons to the great John Prine, which is fair, but there are also sonic nods to the slouched nonchalance of indie rock luminaries Pavement or Silver Jews. His spin on storytelling is a hard pill to swallow for the faint of heart as his stories dig deep into the groundlings at the bottom of humanity, however, something most people despite their level of class, can be moved by. Recorded at Eastside Manor Studios in East Nashville, TN, and produced by Gabe Masterson, Bradbury is backed by a master band of artists and musicians deep in the EN scene: Laur Joamets (Sturgill Simpson) on electric guitar and organ, Meghan Palmer [Read More]

Mariana Vega’s “Cámara Lenta” slows us down to enjoy life, love and music.

September 21, 2016

(Los Angeles) Have you ever wished you could slow down, take the time to think, contemplate, and understand life while you are living it? Most of us have – I do often. So I was ready for Mariana Vega and her new single “Cámara Lenta” – “Slow Motion” — to slow me down and make me listen and think. The experience was simultaneously exhilarating and calming, and very, very enjoyable. With “Cámara Lenta” now at the top of my playlist, the feeling ofslowing down may just happen to me every day. “Cámara Lenta” is a new release by the two-time Latin Grammy nominee Mariana Vega, who won the 2014 Grammy for Best New Artist. The song is true American Latino Music – it mixes electronic and acoustic sounds with USA pop flourishes. And it also references Latin American folklore in its use of the 6/8 charcatera rhythm and minor note forms of the Argentine countryside. But in any language, “Cámara Lenta” soothes, entices, seduces and carries you along in the here and now. Vega’s hometown [Read More]

SHOW REVIEW: Coheed & Cambria @ Ace of Spades in Sacramento, CA 9/16/16. By Ben Mitchell

September 20, 2016

This week I had the special opportunity to see rockers Coheed & Cambria at the Ace of Spades in Sacramento, CA. This was my third time seeing the band live; once at a large indoor venue, and once acoustically in an outdoor amphitheater. Knowing that the band regularly play at larger venues, I was shocked to hear they were playing at the considerably smaller Ace of Spades. Needless to say, tickets SOLD OUT not long after they went on sale. Simply labeled as their “North American 2016 Tour”, this was just the third stop on the 23-date saga. Polyphia and Saves The Day played solid sets and did their jobs getting the crowd hyped up for the main event. From the beginning of the night, constant shouts of “COHEED! COHEED!” rang through the building and only grew louder after each band finished their respective set. As the lights went dark, I was thoroughly ready to have my mind blown with electric guitars and Claudio Sanchez’s signature hair flying everywhere. The lights come on and Claudio [Read More]

Concert Review – Moose Blood w. Luca Brasi and PUP in Munich. Contributed by Alex Bock

September 20, 2016

Munich, Strom, 09/16/2016 One day before the world famous Octoberfest opened its gates in Munich, Moose Blood came to town. It was the 4th stop on their current tour through Mainland Europe. They brought Australian band Luca Brasi and PUP from Toronto, ON along. Both bands punk influenced had the crowd going from the get go. Lots ‘n lots of stage diving and loud singing to their songs. What’s fascinating about Moose Blood is that they can get a crowd going nuts without a massive stage appearance. It’s just four guys, playing their instruments, no great amount of jumping around, no big light show, but nevertheless everyone went wild and crazy. There was no stopping the fans from stage diving and constantly pushing and shoving while screaming their hearts out to songs like ‘Bukowski’, ‘Pups’, ‘Swim Down’ and ‘Knuckles’. Here are a few impressions: Lucas Brasi PUP Moose Blood Keep updated on further tours and music releases via the band’s social media Moose Blood https://www.facebook.com/MooseBlood/ http://mooseblooduk.com/ https://twitter.com/mooseblooduk https://www.instagram.com/mooseblooduk/ PUP https://www.instagram.com/mooseblooduk/ http://www.puptheband.com/ https://twitter.com/puptheband https://www.instagram.com/puptheband/ Luca [Read More]
