Suite 709 “Night & Day” Soul Party
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 […]
United States of Being by Pujol
I am ashamed to say I am late to the proverbial party when it comes to the Nashville rock sensation that is Pujol. So what to do when you’re late to the party? Immerse yourself in it as quickly as possible. I have read many articles and listened to as many songs as my phone […]

A Labyrinth in music by Sergey Rybytskyy
On to other Worlds Once in a long while, I can be found at a loss for words. I’ve been stuck there for a bit, and when you here this selection, you may begin to understand why. I’ve been listening to Ukranian composer Sergey Rybytskyy’s “In Labyrinths of the Soul” and getting lost in it. It […]

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 […]

Between Perception and Regret by Transcend the Fallen (review)
Review By L.White “Do you Transcend?” That is the question put forth by Nashville, Tennessee’s 5-piece Melodic Hard Rock band Transcend the Fallen. I received TTF’s debut full-length CD “Between Perception and Regret” having only been offered that one sentence about the band. So I set out to find an answer to the ambiguous question. […]
