Local H Share 'Hold That Thought' Tour Video
Alt-rock duo Local H have shared the live video for their recently released banger 'Hold That Thought.' Of that video, Scott Lucas says, 'Ryan got a GoPro for Christmas, so we decided to put it to use. It's a pretty good video representation of what that tour with Soul Asylum was like. The decision to start dressing like WHAM! and wear those 'CHOOSE LIFE' shirts seemed like a pretty obvious idea to me —our new record is called “LIFERS”— but I'm not sure people got it. I think some people thought we were making some kind of a pro-life statement. We were NOT making a pro-life statement.'

The Smoking Flowers' New Single Premieres At The Bluegrass Situation, Plus New LP Out 6/21
East Nashville underground pioneers The Smoking Flowers (Kim and Scott Collins) have unveiled 'Just Out Of Reach,' a new single from the band's forthcoming LP Snowball Out Of Hell, due out June 21st. The acoustic Snowball Out of Hell follows 2018's rock-oriented Let's Die Together; both albums will be released together as a deluxe double album digitally and on vinyl. Both albums were conceived during Kim's battle with, and later triumph over, an aggressive form of breast cancer; the cancer is in remission today--Kim only used holistic and alternative methods and adopted a raw food diet (no chemotherapy, no radiation, no hormones). In the wake of this journey, The pair took life by the reins and hit the road in their vintage Volvo 240 station wagon, touring across America and Canada for three years. With this life-altering experience to draw upon and years of intense touring under their belt, the couple then tapped even deeper into their raw rock, punk and folk roots in the composition of Let's Die Together and Snowball Out of Hell. The urgency present in these recordings is undeniable, a true story of love and triumph.
