Josh Ritter
Ritter preaches us stories in the style of, “messianic oracular honky-tonk.” Upbeat rock, haunting songs of murderers, promiscuous teens, and sinners abound. It’s an adventurous, folk-rock album with a shiny veneer that hides behind it darker almost apocalyptic feelings with a humorous tone. Buy, Stream, Download now. * Reminds us
Son Little
The first thing you notice on Son Little’s “Lay Down,” is a golden, buttery smooth vocals pairing with harmony that’s just as sweet. The song just seems to exist on another plane, it breezes by before you know it, a fleeting intimate moment between two lovers. The vocals,
Big Scary
Hardly a band to be nailed down by style, Australia’s Big Scary duo of Tom Iansek and Jo Syme crafted this quirky pop song, Organism, that’s got a dance vibe with little stabs from the deep end of a saxophone. In my head it’s reminiscent of a
Yuck
As soon as you press play, and the distortion kicks in, the fuzz blows into your ears, there’s a pop connection on this new track from Brit rockers, Yuck. I don’t think Yuck is being held back at all from losing their former frontman, “Hold Me Closer,” is
The Afternoon Edition
Really really loving the sounds coming from New York’s The Afternoon Edition, and their new single “Canyon Lights.” The band consists of brothers, Connor and Shane Noetzel, and friend Bryan Gallio, who are modernizing a sound honed from Americana forebears The Byrds or the Band, and rolling in more
Rayland Baxter
Although this tune debuted on NPR last week, it caught my ears again and I felt like I had to share it. It may be one of the best songs we hear this year, with it’s songwriting wit, it’s honeyed melodies, and its ability to slow down time
tyler lyle
Georgia born singer songwriter and pal of ours, Tyler Lyle has been on a mission as of late. He got his new record funded on pledge music, has been churning out content to keep us all interested and now has finally dropped the first single from his upcoming record, The
Barna Howard
Through semblances of Townes Van Zandt, Barna Howard seems to be finding himself embedded into a time and place that isn’t 2015 and frankly I’m enjoying it a ton. His small-town folk sensibility seems to be a creative driving force behind his upcoming record, Quite a Feelin’. On
Marian Hill
A few months ago, I was cleaning my apartment while an internet radio station was on in the background. One song came on that made me stop what I was doing and pay attention to what I was hearing. This song had soulful yet wispy vocals laced by deep synth
The Wooden Sky

585
Photos by Boston Concert Photography Tuesday night was rife with anticipation. It’d be a few years since we saw the sass factory that is Father John Misty, and we all here at Music Savage are particularly fond of his catalog of music, his stage dancing, and his banter. Settling
Fort Frances
I’ve been bringing music from Chicago’s Fort Frances since 2011 and I’ve really enjoyed seeing the band continue to record and progress over those years. The band is excitedly preparing a new EP, No One Needs to Know Our Name, for a May 12th release. For the
