5 GB With The Trews; Playing Smith’s Olde Bar Nov. 17

By Eileen Tilson / @tktalt_tn Did you know that by law in Canada, 35% of all music played on Canadian radio stations must be from Canadian bands? Which, I must say is a pretty great rule and allows for amazing bands like, The Trews, who since 2003, have had twelve Top 10 rock radio singles […]

CD Review: Nickelback — Here and Now

Nickelback Here and Now Roadrunner By Ellen Eldridge Nickelback surprises me with how controversial they’ve become lately. The protest against their scheduled Thanksgiving Day performance in Detroit seems far too overdramatic for what I always considered a pretty decent pop rock band. Front man Chad Kroeger and the rest of the band have not responded […]

CD Review: Sarah Siskind — Novel; Playing Eddie’s Attic, November 16

Sarah Siskind Novel Red Request Records By Al Kaufman It would be easy to write Sarah Siskind off as just another hippie chick.

CD Review: Bombadil — All That the Rain Promises

Bombadil All That the Rain Promises Ramseur Records By Leila Regan-Porter North Carolina’s Bombadil started out with a lot going for them. Signed to Ramseur Records as The Avett Brothers took off, they could pass as the Avett’s scrappy, just-as-breathtaking little brothers, and were quickly gaining well-earned attention with their own brand of genre-crossing powerful […]

CD Review: Childish Gambino — Camp

Childish Gambino Camp Glassnote Records By Justin Lyons Childish Gambino’s (aka Stone Mountain native Donald Glover) underground works often stressed being different from the rest of the rap world. Camp, his first proper album, finds Childish Gambino in a class of upper echelon emcees and manages to balance influence with individualism.
