I first came across Aoede on ReverbNation a while back. She had a voice that really intrigued me, whether singing light-hearted love ditties or darker sounds like on her “I Lost You Win,” she has a unique phrasing and sense of pitch that makes her stand out like a magnolia in a field of mesquite.

Rumman by Daniel Grin and the Dandy Løve Band (review)
Passion and Power set against an amazing soundscape is what you get from Daniel Grin and the Dandy Løve Band on their new Rumman EP. I hear Irish folk music spending a night in the desert with Nick Cave. I hear Radiohead – a little brighter. I hear Coldplay, but I like it – a lot […]

Scheduled for release 09 July 2012 “Night & Day,” the latest (or up-coming) release from Suite 709 hit my in-box last week, and it rocks! I could just end this review right there, but this isn’t Twitter… One of the things that I dig about what I do is the fact that I get to […]
Full Breathing Costume by Mythical Motors (album review)
Mythical Motors is a powerpop quintet from Chattanooga Tennessee. They are self described as sometimes rock, sometimes punk, always pop, always drunk. Recently I had the privelege of seeing them at the MusicTree Fest and their live show does not disappoint. Afterwards Mid TN Music got ahold of their release Full Breathing Costume. The feel […]
Local Spotlight – Joy of Painting
Asterisk from Joy of Painting may be one of my favorite EP’s of this young summer. Joy of Painting is self-described as a two car garage pop quintet out of Nashville, TN and if Asterisk is any indication there is a long stream of great music coming our way from these guys. Starting with “Old […]
