Check out the latest video from Nashville rockers The Pink Spiders

June 15, 2023

Another great new band that you have to know! Nashville power rockers The Pink Spiders have released a video for their third single, Let’s Go Home, off their first album in 5 years, “Freakazoid,” that’s due out July 7th from Pure Noise Records. Frontman Matt Friction comments about the new song, “’Let’s Go Home’ is the first Pink Spiders song to celebrate the low-key joy of skipping the party and the bad decisions and just kickin it at home with the ones you love. It’s a bit out of character, but we felt like it was time for an anthem to taking care of yourself and not waking up with regrets. This sign of maturity will likely resonate with fans and critics alike.”  Check out the video here:   You can pre-order the new album, Freakazoid”   HERE.

Little Stranger at BottleRock Napa 2023

June 13, 2023

  Born and raised in Philly, crash landed in Charleston, Kevin and John Shields are breaking into previously uncharted waters with their quirky indie hip-hop group, Little Stranger. More about Little Stranger: Between John’s melodic singer-songwriter magnetism, Kevin’s in-your-face delivery, and an overall undeniable groove, this duo is sure to get any audience up and moving. Stylistically reminiscent of Gorillaz and Odelay-era Beck, Little Stranger delivers a fresh take on melodic hip-hop. Every track brings the uniqueness and strangeness that their name implies. For the past few years, the duo has perfected their live performance by playing over 100 shows per year prior to the coronavirus shutdown. The group also puts a big focus on creating arresting visual experiences through their music videos, their own eccentric television program (LSTV), and in-house graphics. Between their out-of-the-box creative endeavors and an ever-increasing arsenal of new tunes, Little Stranger is poised to make 2022 another slam dunk. Check out photos from their set by our Rockin Ryan: Little Stranger is currently out on tour. Check out the tour [Read More]
