Wild Nothing is back with their new album Indigo (Captured Tracks). The group will headline the Cedar Cultural Center on November 7th.

We saw the band in May 2016 and said, “Wild Nothing is the brainchild of Jack Tatum (Jack & the Whale/ Facepaint). Tatum is the founding member, songwriter and the sole performer on Wild Nothing's albums but he brings a group with him on the road. This adds a strange dynamic to the group because each member seems to interpret the songs differently which makes the music much deeper than you would think a group like this would be.”

Men I Trust to open. This all-girls group from Montreal, Canada, features Jessy on bass/guitar, Dragos on keyboards and Emma vocals/guitar.

DJ Jake Rudh to play music between sets.

All Them Witches

The Richmond band also announced a Winter tour with High On Fire and Kvelertak … Jex Thoth Seattle's Jex Thoth (formerly Totem), play a solid girl-fronted psychedelic doom. This is one of those CD's that just kind of came out of nowhere and surprised me with how good it is. …

We don't really run contests or promotions on W♥M, but since I already just tweeted you can win a pair of tickets to tomorrow (September 11th) show at the Triple Rock Social Club tomorrow to see Windhand, Jex Thoth and All Them Witches, I may as well mention this on the official website. Please email me [email protected] if you want to win a pair of tickets.

Since we've already previously written about Windhand and Jex Thoth, I will spotlight All Them Witches, the third band on the bill.

They quickly follow up with Lightning At The Door, which was recorded live in a matter of days with producer and engineer Andy Putnam. The record, according to Amazon, will be out next week, September 16th.

Four Hands

Read More Hands Hands, which hails from LA, wasn't too much of a disappointment if you listened to their most recent release, Synesthesia. The album is catchy and they do sound a bit reminiscent of Ned's Atomic Dustbin .…

HANDS
handssounds.com

Brand-spanking new indie band Hands will be playing in their hometown of Los Angeles next Wednesday, along with the Chicago-based trio On An On. Originally from Philly, Hands has been gaining massive recognition at festivals around the country, including SXSW and Echo Park Rising. Their uplifting alternative sound and Geoff Halliday’s smooth vocals are sure to bring down the house.

They are currently on a west coast tour and have been gaining massive attention from all across the media board, including ABC’s list of ‘7 Emerging Artists on the Rise’ and Time Magazine’s ’11 Bands You Don’t Know (but should)’. Their track ‘Warm Night Home’ from their EP Massive Context has been on repeat in my iTunes all week, and I’m also stoked to see On An On after covering two of their shows in Brighton at The Great Escape Festival. Go grab Hands’ latest album Synesthesia here on Bandcamp and stay tuned for their show review at The Satellite on September 11th.
