Andy Bookwalter – Why is Diarrhea Planet so damn good? Why does such a great band have such a terrifically terrible name? Did two pretty good bands merge into one Nashville superband? And what’s with all those guitars? These are questions I asked myself the last time I saw Diarrhea Planet.
Travis Trautt – I’d heard a couple of songs from heralded UK post-punk band Shame and was intrigued, so when I heard they were playing Barboza with support from Seattle’s great Monsterwatch (#41for2017). I had to get myself out on a Tuesday night.
Cameron Deuel – Bandcamp is the single greatest music discovery platform in existence because it grants you instant access to an ecosystem of music in virtually every genre from artists around the world. Here are a few outstanding releases from February and March.
Sam Hardy – Imagine you’re sitting there with Ian Parton in his parents’ kitchen in Brighton, way back in 2004, watching him piece together what would become his band’s debut album, Thunder, Lightning, Strike.
Gary Horn – Teenage Candy is an alternative rock band from Boise that makes music for every emotional, teen-punk, Twitter-pated loser out there. Their songs are filled with angst, classic rock power chords, and shoegaze-like vocals, which somehow turns out to sound like a cross between Angel Olsen and Beach House…. which puts them square in the middle of NadaMucho.com’s wheelhouse.
