Merry Christmas from Tragic Kingdom with Andy Davis
Over the past couple of months, I’ve hinted at some big things coming to Tragic Kingdom in 2013. One new improvement is the addition of the live acoustic series from my favorite new artists. But, in the spirit of the holiday season, you don’t have to wait until you ring in the New Year to see the first of the series. Consider this my way of saying Merry Christmas to all my readers – You guys have made 2012 my biggest year yet! I’ll have more from Nashville based crooner Andy Davis in January, but here’s what you need to know right now: he’s super talented, he’s cool (and wears equally…

First Listen: Ryan Adams New Single
It’s been a hot second (and here in Nashville, I mean that a bit more literally than I had hoped) since I’ve updated you with some new tunes and the latest and greatest from the music scene. I promise when you see what’s to come you’re going to see it’s been well worth the wait. But, I still feel like I’ve left you to face this hot summer without any new music to cool you off. So as we start to dream of cooler times and the crisp air that fall is to bring, I bring you a glimpse of what’s to come with a first listen of Ryan Adams‘ new…

Tragic Kingdom Presents: The Pretty Reckless Videography
From jaw-dropping goth rock to over-synthed pop beats and honky tonk country crooning to piano-driven rock hooks, it’s no secret that my musical influences have ranged all over the map this year.

Much like the inspiration for this blog, Light Me Up is an inspirational album from front to back. With Taylor Momsen leading the charge, the band delivers one of the most relevant albums of the year. But the question remains, why hasn’t America – the place where Momsen holds a lead spot on one of…

STREAM: "Camo" by The CO
As April kicked off, Tragic Kingdom introduced you to the latest crop of talent added to our growing list of featured artists. The CO is one of the most promising new talents featured since Neon Trees appeared on the site around this time last year. And if following in the same footsteps, it could be an exciting year for these pop-rockers. In the coming weeks, the band will be releasing a special packaged version of their new single “Camo”, which will include the original track, an acoustic version, a remixed take, and a brand new video to accompany the song. To close out the month, the band is giving Tragic…

Exclusive: Tragic Kingdom Presents
Happy St. Patrick’s day! Today is a special day for Tragic Kingdom and not just because I have a special place in my heart for anything green. As you know, I designed Tragic Kingdom with the intent to expose exceptional new talent and create a place to discuss the industry’s biggest stars. Our latest artist featured, Michael Shoup, was excited to take part in a new project, I’m calling Tragic Kingdom Presents, that joins our featured new talent with those more well-recognized, but still tragically adored. This week also marks the 25th anniversary for the SXSW Music & Media Conference in Austin, Texas. As you might remember, it last year…
