All Poets & Heroes Want You to Make Something of Your Life

A good friend can be the guiding force which leads us toward self-improvement.

All Poets & Heroes explore an unconventional version of this dynamic on their new tune, “Singlehanded.” Influenced by the slacker rock of the 90s and early 2000s, the band tells the story of a person with untapped potential, and the loyal stoner friend who witnesses him wasting away into oblivion.

“Centered around a bad day — and seemingly a wasted life — a person who was told they were ‘good as gold’ is finding that life isn’t turning out the way they had hoped,” said lead vocalist Rob McCall. “He visits his stoner friend and pisses away another day. However, it’s the stoner friend, who narrates the story, that sees this person clearly and is attempting to snap them out of there woes, urging them to claim their dignity by accepting that life is hard, and trying to get them to work at bettering themselves.”

“And for fun, there’s a reference to masturbation.”

Want even more reason for excitement? All Poets & Heroes will be a part of ARREIS’ and Local Nation’s Battle of the Bands, taking place June 12 at The End. Learn more about that here!

WATCH: Gloom Girl MFG Get Away with the Perfect ‘Crimes’

Between Nashville’s established status as a country music mecca, and Music City’s ever-growing pop and hip hop ecosystem, the city’s rock scene often doesn’t get enough love here in 2024.

Gloom Girl MFG might be the band who changes that.

The high-powered punk quartet calls Nashville home, and they’re getting ready to release their EP, Polycrisis, on May 3. The lead single, “Crimes,” is out now — and it gets the whole thing off to an explosive start!

“Crimes” features relentless guitar riffs accompanied by a tight, swaggering rhythm section — calling to mind the edgy alt-punk heyday of bands like The Vines and The Hives. Meanwhile, the charismatic Paige MacKinnon establishes her undeniable presence, as she illustrates the raw complexities of our human experience.

“‘Crimes’ is about someone who’s right in the middle of an emotional explosion,” MacKinnon said. “They’re fed up trying to play the game of love as they see it. And through that we’re speaking to a truth about how intertwined our human experiences in the world are with the way we show love to one another. It can be messy and it can be beautiful too.”

WATCH: Fame and Fiction Embraces the Self-Acceptance Journey with ‘Enough’

The journey for self-acceptance is a difficult one for many in the LGBTQ+ community, who often find themselves up against a society that still preaches heteronormativity.

To celebrate Pride month, Nashville-based queer rock band Fame and Fiction is here to lend a voice to those overcoming these challenges with their new music video for their 2019 single, “Enough.”

Live from the 615: Monte Mader, Lombardy, and The Night Shifts

Fresh off the release of her latest single, “Muddy River,” rock and roll songstress Monte Mader brings her heartfelt songwriting and unique style and attitude to the Helping Our Music Evolve stage.

Joining Monte on this special night of rock and roll with soul will be Lombardy. The Nashville-based four-piece are rising stars among Music City’s rock scene, with their new single, “Hurricane,” hitting land this month.

Brett “Shred” Landry is a native guitarist of the Oklahoma rock scene, and his style reflects it. A versatile player grounded by a passion for hard rock and blues, Shred has played for a number of touring Midwest bands since 2017. In addition to touring and recording with other bands, he also started “Brett Landry and the Night Shifts” in 2018 and later on dropped “Brett Landry” out of the name. With his unyielding drive to become a legendary guitarist, he brings a high-energy show every single time. As the man says himself, “If I can’t play music then I’d rather be dead.”
