  • Dad Hats

    Alternative Rock

    Meet Dad Hats, a four-piece rock outfit from Nashville, Tennessee, whose music oozes "indie rock charm mixed with the grit of upbeat pop-punk" (thepoppunkdad.com). Their sophomore release, Spill, comes complete with earworm guitar riffs, locomotor rhythms, and lyrics that are equal parts poignant and self-depricating.

    Tyler Coleman (guitar), Joe Halberstadt (drums), Nate Sorg (guitar), and Craig Turner (vocals/bass) harness the sound of parties you barely remember and embarrassing memories you kinda wish you could forget.

    FFO: The Wonder Years, The Menzingers, PUP, early Fall Out Boy

  • Ghost Town Remedy

    Ghost Town Remedy

    Alternative Rock

    Nashville’s Party Punker Shredders Ghost Town Remedy wouldn’t know how to stop adding Guitarmonies even if they tried and it's becoming a serious problem. They are constantly late to weddings, family gatherings, the birth of their firstborn sons, and work at their lame ass day jobs due to adding just ONE MORE guitar part. Loved ones have tried time and time again to intervene but their efforts have only added fuel to the fire or whatever the fuck Metallica was singing about.

    If you come to a GTR show thinking you’re going to hear only one guitar playing the Grammy Award Winning 1999 hit SMOOTH by Santana feat. Rob Thomas of Matchbox Twenty off the Multi-Platinum Album Supernatural, THINK AGAIN!

    FFO: Guitarmonies, NOT standing at the back of the show with your arms crossed, having fun in spite of our increasingly not fun world, and more guitarmonies!

They’ve released two EPs, “Extra Better” in 2013, and then “Light of Day” in 2014.Through relentless touring, they’ve become mainstays of the Midwest Americana scene.

The new album is a gritty, upbeat collection of songs, full of characters who were developed while staring over the dash of a beat up Ford van cruising through towns in the South and Midwest, whose better days are behind them. The Sawdusters will be on the road in 2016 and beyond. For fans of The Band, Little Feat, and the Turnpike Troubadours.

  • Hussy Fit

    Hussy Fit

    Alternative

    Hussy Fit is a four-piece band from Nashville, TN, blending raw energy and candid lyricism into their self-described "bubblegrunge synthpunk riot" sound. Gritty yet infectious, their music fuses grunge’s heavy textures with catchy pop melodies.

    Since their formation, Hussy Fit has become a staple in Nashville's music scene through their high-energy performances and thought-provoking themes, tackling mental health, self-empowerment, and societal expectations. 

    Their breakout single, Over It, is an anthem for anyone who’s ever felt stuck, unheard, or lost. With biting guitar riffs, pounding drums, and vocals that teeter between defiance and desperation, Hussy Fit channels the kind of unfiltered energy that turns restlessness into rebellion. The lyrics cut through like a sharp-tongued conversation with yourself, confronting cycles of exhaustion and the need to finally step away, let go, and move on. 

    Rooted in the DIY ethos, they prioritize community and inclusion, making every show feel like a shared experience rather than just a performance. Whether it’s in a packed venue or a sweaty basement, they bring the same intensity, the same honesty, and the same unshakable belief that music is meant to connect. 

    This is Hussy Church – no doctrine, no judgement, just a reminder that you are enough and you belong. Believe in yourself, love freely, and take up space.
