While we were having some fun under the sun at Americanafest all weekend, Nashville alt-rockers and future Quinn Spinn guests EverSōl were unveiling their latest heavy, soulful masterpiece.
Hear Monday’s Daily Spinn
As an Army veteran, A.T. Branch has experienced life from a perspective different from most of us. As a child of a musical family, the Detroit native paints from a sonic palette that encompasses formative influences like gospel, R&B, and jazz; intense shades of rock; the polish of modern pop; and a hushed, yet powerful vocal tone that has drawn comparisons to Britney Spears.
Everything we just mentioned shows up on A.T.’s debut single, “Ready 4 War,” which releases to the world on Friday, September 20.

With Underground Music Collective’s first-ever Underground Writers Round fast approaching, we thought we’d start dedicating some of these Daily Spinn features to the six songwriters set to accompany us on our maiden voyage.
Hear Wednesday’s Daily Spinn
It’s a busy week here at UMC. There’s a new episode of The Quinn Spinn out. We have tons of submissions to catch up on from vacation (and even before). Oh, and it’s Americanafest in Nashville this week, and we’re going out to get us some of that, starting tonight.
When will we sleep? We don’t know!
Listen to UMC20
Word to the wise, before you listen to Talia Stewart’s new album, Confessional: get ready to feel strong emotions. Between the topics explored via Stewart’s jazzy, sultry alto and the album’s hard-hitting and robust soundscapes, you’ll come out having experienced a no-holds-barred exploration of human expression.
Listen to ‘Confessional’
We’re back!
Vacation was fun, and we do have a pile of emails to dig through upon our return. Not to mention, we have some other features and reviews hanging out there that we plan to get to this week.
In the meantime — and before we completely, willingly say goodbye to summer — we want to re-visit August one last time with some of the most popular tracks that comprised our UMC20 playlists throughout the month. Give yourself a listen to these while we take a chance to catch up!

It’s only been a few weeks since we’ve heard something new from TIOGA. As it turns out, the Philly new wave revivalists had one more trick up their sleeves in the summer of 2019.
Hear the Single
The quest for love is a recurring theme in Moonroof’s music. Some of the band’s recent efforts reflect this search, and the tricks played on our minds by the fear of loneliness.
Their newest single, for its bright soundscape, is another one for the hopeless romantic.
Hear ‘Trojans’
Northern California alt-rock trio Of The Wild is preparing to release their Banshee & Hope EP on October 25.
Judging from the first taste, you should be very excited.
Hear ‘Animals’
On Saturday night, the party was on at Nashville’s EXIT/IN.
The occasion? The Hip Abduction was in town, making a stop on their tour to celebrate their fourth full-length independent release, To the Ends of the Earth.
