PREMIERES

The World of Captain Beefheart, out November 10th via Knitting Factory Records, is a comprehensive overview of the man also known as Don Van Vliet’s towering legacy, re-imagined and infused with new blood by vocalist extraordinaire Nona Hendryx and avant-guitar legend Gary Lucas. This isn’t the pair’s first tribute to the eccentric artist, having starred […]

Gill Landry is sometimes known by the stage name of Frank Lemon and is perhaps best known as a former member of Old Crow Medicine Show and a founding member of The Kitchen Syncopators. Hailing from Lake Charles, LA, the singer-songwriter and guitarist has enjoyed a flourishing career as a solo artist in recent years. […]

I was not particularly surprised when Amber Cross turned out to be a soft-spoken person. Savage on the Downhill, her first wide release solo album, is the rewarding result of time spent reflecting on quiet places and people. The music isn’t particularly sparse or underdone; Cross sings out confidently during hunting scenes, awkward silences in […]

The members of Austin, Texas band Fastball have been chugging along for over two decades, and even though the days of their hit 90s tunes “The Way” and “Out Of My Head” have long since passed, they have continued to crank out catchy pop-laden rock tunes. Earlier this year Fastball released their sixth studio album Step […]

MERCH is the recording monicker of Joe Medina, who creates richly grand cinematic vocal music. On the new MERCH LP Amour Bohemian, which out November 3rd, is an immense project featuring contributions from 65 different artists, including the 30-piece Prague FILMharmonic, who have collaborated with everyone from Werner Herzog and Quentin Tarantino to the Arcade […]

One of the best thrills to come from the Internet music revolution is the ability to find extremely rare music with great ease. But even with such vast archives to draw from, quite a lot of great songs have gone undiscovered for nearly half a century, particularly in genres that historically lacked hifalutin arty pretense. […]

On October 27, Dopapod will release their fifth studio album, MEGAGEM, simultaneously their most focused and thematically ambitious affair to date. The release of MEGAGEM will coincide with a cross-country tour for Dopapod, spreading their blisteringly progressive, good-time grooves and ending with a New Year’s Eve show in Boston, where they started out. Then, the band will take a year off to […]

Gonzo songwriter Johnny Dango’s music is a confluence of country and rock, with a hefty sense of self-satire. His sound ranges all of tornado alley, from the folky roots of Stillwater to the gospel soul of Tulsa. Acoustic social critiques, intellectual southern and psychedelic country have become his trademarks. He’s shared the stage with greats like Wayne Kramer of MC5, Jerry Jeff […]

A hard-working band in an era where most groups are fleeting assemblages, Butcher Brown’s organic coherence emerges from long collaboration as a group of equals. Dedicated to innovation, informed by a love of the past, the quintet’s modernistic fusion is aptly described as “hip-hop Mahavishnu.” Impressive as they are individually, together they are something increasingly […]

With four double platinum albums, a slew of top ten singles sold out arenas and a legion of devoted fans behind them, The Coronas have earned their title as one of Ireland’s best-loved and hardest working bands. This year, 2017, The Coronas released their fifth studio album Trust The Wire revealing their most refined and […]

Lady luck had introduced singer songwriter Jay Nash and singer and drummer Josh Day in Los Angeles over a decade ago when they bonded over a shared love of The Band, roots music, and a sacred admiration for the great American songbook. As their paths continued to cross over the years, collaboration, they concluded, would […]

Robert Francis is a multi-instrumentalist, Americana singer-songwriter from Los Angeles, California. As the youngest member of a music-filled household, Robert benefited from a diverse musical climate thanks to his late pianist/producer father, his songwriting sister Juliette Commagere, and his Mexican mother, who sang native ranchera songs around the house. This musical upbringing eventually led to […]

Emily Herring is the embodiment of true Texas music. Witness Gliding, Herring’s fourth record, produced by legendary instrumentalist Steve Fishell and releasing October 27 on Austin-based Eight 30 Records, delivers all raw emotion with a voice branded at birth for honky tonks. The daytime auto mechanic and nighttime singer-songwriter effortlessly infuses her new collection with equal […]

Fox and Bones is a conceptual folk collaboration between American songwriters Sarah Vitort and Scott Gilmore based in Portland, Oregon. The internationally touring folk duo combines lush harmonies and a complex, heartwarming lyrical landscape with soft-spoken yet rich musical accompaniment. Glide is proud to premiere the video for “Love Me Like a River” that reflects […]

Spearheaded by partner duo and former Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad members Matt O’Brian (drums, vocals) and Rachel Orke (keys), Thunder Body has a wide range of influences from dub and dancehall, to soul and beyond. With a three-piece horn section the band is able to pack a strong sonic punch that is similar to the […]

“Live and learn” goes the old cliché. And while that may seem hopelessly simplistic and dated, it’s obvious that Muscle Shoals born and bred singer-songwriter Rhyal Knight has done his share of both preceding the release of his debut solo EP In Quotations, which is out November 10th. Years of bouncing around through various bands and lineups—including […]

Shuggy Mtn Breakdown,  the debut full-length from Northampton, MA quintet Sun Parade (October 13, 2017) is a full-wrought artistic statement, road-tested in basement shows and packed houses along Route 9 in the band’s home territory of Western Massachusetts. Chris Marlon Jennings grew up in Northampton, Massachusetts, busking on the streets. He met Jeff Lewis in 2008 […]

Toronto-based trio Little Coyote formed in 2015 and they’ve already come a long way. Their debut album The Trouble With Teeth was funded by a Canada Council for the Arts grant, showing that they clearly were onto something. The band’s sound and aesthetic draws influence from Whitehorse, YT, the birthplace of lead singer Teagan Johnston, who […]

Masontown is a young band but you’d hardly know it from listening to their enchanting sound that feels like the band members have been playing together for years. Hailing from the hotbed of the Colorado roots music scene, Masontown’s sound is an exciting and eclectic take on the American acoustic tradition. At once fresh and familiar, […]

On October 19, 2016, tragedy struck on on I-95 in North Carolina when beloved Americana artist, Chris Porter, and his bandmate Mitchell Vandenberg, were killed in a van crash on their way to play a show in Baltimore. Long before his budding solo career, Porter had been an adored staple of the Americana scene, touring […]
