What will our last song be today?

Matt Derda’s “Life You Didn’t Know” strides with ragged Americana nerve at night. With gritty guitars and wounded wonder colliding, like Springsteen hitchhiking through alt-country twilight, chasing truth across every cracked mile of memory and regret. youtu.be/SXOBnZe0WqQ?...

Emma Swift’s “Nothing and Forever” shimmers like a ghost in the spotlight. A song with lush melancholy and crystalline vocals drifting through heartbreak, turning quiet devastation into something startlingly beautiful, fragile, and stubbornly luminous. youtu.be/R2oGSXRjd4U?...

The Old 97s’ “Oppenheimer” explodes like punk-infused country dynamite—razor-sharp guitars and Rhett Miller’s sardonic howl turn historical musings into a rollicking, wired anthem, smart, sneering, and gloriously uncontainable. youtu.be/VQlKjeTbcdg?...

Beth Bombara’s “Everything I Wanted” glows with heartfelt intimacy—warm vocals and lush instrumentation weave a tender, cinematic story, capturing longing, hope, and quiet strength in a way that lingers long after the song ends. youtu.be/SFj679IazCA?...

Big Mother Gig’s “The Underdog” (featuring Leah Wellbaum) stomps with indie-rock bravado—urgent guitars, punchy rhythms, and gritty vocals celebrate resilience and rebellion, turning every overlooked moment into an anthemic, heart-thumping triumph you can’t ignore. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fD-F...

Soccer Mommy’s “Circle The Drain” churns with moody pop-rock grit—dreamy melodies tangled in raw confessions, a confessional maelstrom of self-doubt and cool detachment that lingers like a late-night echo. youtu.be/DTc1w32Vbeo?...

Sara Radle’s cover of “Salome” slices Old 97s’ grit with polished bite—bright, punchy guitars and her lilting, smoky vocals turn outlaw country-rock into a sparkling, swaying and swaggering confession that hits even harder.

The Reivers’ “If I Had A Little Time Without You” charges forward with jangly, driving guitars—rocking energy propels wistful vocals, turning fleeting freedom into a bittersweet, foot-stomping ride you can’t shake. youtu.be/CNAkXUYJYlI?...

Shobsy’s cover of “Smalltown Boy” drips with lonely glamour—haunting synths and vulnerable vocals twist the classic into a nocturnal confession, aching yet defiant, a heartache reborn under flickering city lights. youtu.be/FibKk-inbMw?...

Tony Peters, Adam West and Dr. J in the studio! Such great guests!

Jobi Riccio’s “Buzzkill” snaps like neon sarcasm—snarky pop-rock riffs collide with sardonic vocals, a jittery cocktail of attitude and heartbreak that leaves you grinning through the sting. "Buzz Kill" (10/6/2024; Sweetwater Music Hall; Mill... youtu.be/QIdWd02PsDM?...

JOSEPH’s “Ready To Let You Down” crashes like a velvet wave running through you. Soulful harmonies drenched in heartbreak, cinematic swells of longing, every note teetering between surrender and defiant, shimmering catharsis. youtu.be/KA0ookoIAJM?...

The Steel Wheels’ “Go Back” rolls like gravel under a midnight train—rootsy grit meets aching harmonies, a bittersweet swirl of regret and longing that sticks to your boots and won’t let go. youtu.be/M-566TyPFRc?...

Bluhm’s “Touch Me” writhes with sleek, late-night tension—slick grooves and yearning vocals collide, a neon-lit seduction that’s equal parts ache and adrenaline, leaving your nerves tingling long after the last beat. youtu.be/FCs-vUDs-q8?...

Via Crowe’s “Chimney” drifts like midnight smoke through bruised skies, a lullaby scorched by regret—haunted folk-pop embers glowing under whispered confessions, flickering hope in the ashes of everything left unsaid. youtu.be/XKuwhYOIhU0?...

Teenage Bottlerocket’s “True to You” detonates like Ramones caffeine shots—hooky pop-punk devotion shouted through cracked amps, sincerity disguised as snotty speed, a love song pogo-sticking straight through your jaded head. youtu.be/ZorAeWbWjWg?...

Mercyland’s “Radio Thieves” hijacks the dial with ragged Southern grit—feedback-soaked rebellion, melodic enough to hum while everything burns, a glorious middle finger to corporate static and the ghosts of '80s college-rock past. youtu.be/R5qL-Y5HB2s?...

The Sunday Mourners’ “Careers in Acting” staggers like a back-alley torch song, fame-dreams collapsing in cigarette ash—melancholy swagger, ragged guitars, and a chorus sneering at every glittering lie we once believed. youtu.be/72G1Pj90Fps?...

Roxi Jane’s “I Love You… But” slinks through heartbreak with neon-synth bruises, twisting sugary pop into a venomous confession—love letter ripped mid-sentence, bleeding glitter and unapologetic emotional shrapnel today. youtu.be/lWxxgtJET30?...
