Song We Like: Creation Bound by The Flesh Panthers
The most groovy laid-back singer in the underground music scene. This is such a pretty piece of county – maybe even jam-band influenced. Goddamn.

Song We Like: Blood Baby by Shaken Nature
This song is wrapped around a wonderful driving beat, like a train-robbing gang hurtling through a wild pass during a lightning storm.
Band Management: Blog 49: Label Mates
This year I am managing “Band A” and the single “Pipe” by The Styrofoam Turtles.
While the mainstream doesn’t even know we exist and the corporate music universe pays us no attention – here in the darkness and cold damp the mold and fungus is growing, the first one-celled organisms are crawling out of the primordial swamp.
Song We Like: Yer Nature’s Kind by The Cannonball Jars
The Cannonball Jars were part of a wave of bands that changed the Asheville underground music sound forever (ahem Kitty Tsunami, Thee Sidewalk Surfers…)
Song We Like: Calling by the Booji Boys
They are called the best punk rock band – and here things get a little fuzzy – The best punk rock band now? The best punk rock band now? The best punk rock band of Nova Scotia?
Song We Like: Fetish by Peachy
These guys combine wonderful post-punk with straight up rebel grrrl – riot grrrl.
Song We Like: She’s On My Mind by The Oh Balters
First and foremost – these guys are fun. This is a little tongue-in-cheek, a little lounge singer indie rocker, with a beautiful fuzzed out groovy guitar and a swing in the bass and drums.
Song We Like: Uncontrollably by Paige Beller
Quiet often we trip over artists who should be national stars – and Paige Beller is the prime example of this type of artist.
Band Management: Blog 48: Screwing It Down
I am managing “Band A” for a year. (I’m also managing the release of “Pipe” by The Styrofoam Turtles on Holy Crap Records – hey Josh and Tristen I just sent out the single to a second round of radio stations and I’ll send it it to a first round of media next week – I attached the music file directly to the email and we’ll see if that makes a difference.)
