The Head atlanta Mike and Jack Shaw brothers Jacob Morrell millipedes it ain't easy

Comprised of Jacob Morrell (guitarist), Mike Shaw (vocals and bass) and Mike’s brother Jack (drums), the Atlanta-based indie rock trio The Head can trace their origins to when the members of the band were in high school. “We formed in high school during our freshman year,” frontman Mike Shaw explains in press notes. “Jack and I were looking for someone to play some songs with—we met Jacob and he ended up becoming one of our best friends.” And although the members of the band are in their early 20s, the band has developed a reputation both locally and nationally for a sound that draws from early 80s post-punk, New Wave and 90s alt rock; in fact, as a result a number of legendary and beloved artists have championed the trio and taken them under their wing including Big Star‘s Jody Stephens, producer Mitch Easter, best known for his work with R.E.M. and Pavement, John Vanderslice andGuided by Voices‘ Doug Gillard.

Trend-setting Los Angeles radio station KCRW has just premiered the video for Jet Trash’s new single “What They Want,” from the California garage rockers’ recent self-titled debut EP.

Jet Trash know what it means to be a quintessential West Coast band. They proudly carry the torch of their predecessors The Sonics and The Ventures, joining the ranks of Bay Area contemporaries Ty Segall and Thee Oh Sees in cranking out modern indie-rock updates on classic ’60s garage-surf. Armed with vintage Fenders and reverb-soaked tube amps, the band’s energetic lo-fi anthems have a youthful immediacy, their massive hooks curling like breaking waves. It’s a sound that has already won the hearts of Jet Trash’s hometown, The Deli SF voting them one of the best up-and-coming bands of 2014 and The Bay Bridged dubbing them “the cream of the crop” of San Francisco locals.

As we have for the past few years, we have ranked all of our collective favorite records of 2015 from both a National and Nashville perspective. To come up with a list, our staff nominated their top local records, and then we had a vote to rank the results.

If you saw our Best National Records of 2015 post, then you know that Jason Isbell and Kacey Musgraves are included in that list, so they were excluded from this Nashville poll to add more variety. Even after removing votes for those records, we still had 43 album submissions to tally.

Below, have a look at top 10 (11 because of ties) Nashville albums of 2015 to find out where all of our tastes overlap. If you need to play catchup, or you’re in the mood to revisit the best of last year, we’ve provided links to Spotify. Stay tuned for our favorite live shows of 2015 coming this week. READ MORE…

Immersive Atlanta features The Head’s new video for “Raincoats”

The Head atlanta Mike and Jack Shaw brothers Jacob Morrell millipedes it ain't easy

Simple music videos never go out of style, especially when matched with jaunty pop rock like the Head’s “Raincoats.” The new video, filmed and directed by Rebecca Arrowsmith, is the second released in support of the band’s 2015 EP Millipedes, and features the trio wandering around various locales in downtown and East Atlanta.

Since the release of their EP and their recent tour of the East Coast, the Head have continued to receive positive press, including recently being named one of Pure Volume’s top 10 unsigned artists of 2015. If 2015 is any gauge of the future, the Head should prepare for national recognition, and the video for “Raincoats” demonstrates that lead singer Mike Shaw is already comfortable playing the role of rock and roll frontman. The modelesque footage of him in the bathtub seems taken from the rock-god era ’70s, and the casual outro displays the Head at their most nonchalant — unaware or at least unimpressed by their own popularity.
