Steph: “I Know!” Swapmeet
“I Know!” by Swapmeet is Steph’s DJ Pick this week! Hailing from Australia, Swapmeet have made a name for themselves internationally. The four-piece band met while they were all playing for different bands.

The song came about spontaneously, according to the band, and has some rockin’ guitar throughout. In classic indie style, the lyrics hit home and rotate around the instrumentation, making it a great addition to any chill playlist. Preorder/presave their debut album Mount Zero, out July 17th!

Casey: “Last American Waltz” OCMS ft. Molly Tuttle
This week, “Last American Waltz” by Old Crow Medicine Show ft. Molly Tuttle is Casey’s DJ Pick of the Week. Old Crow Medicine Show is based here in Nashville and has been recording since the late 1990s. The band was inducted into the Grand Ole Opry in 2013, and if that doesn’t show their lasting impact on Americana music, maybe their 2014 Grammy win does. “Last American Waltz” reminisces about the end of a dance, with lyrics that urge listeners to pull their loved ones closer in the time they have left. Like any old soulful song, it brings together beautiful instrumentation and vocals. Old Crow Medicine Show’s new album Union Made is out June 5th, so preorder/presave now! Check out these May 27th and June 6th Tennessee dates for their current tour, too!

Rev. Keith: “In The Stars” The Rolling Stones
Rev. Keith’s Pick of the Week is “In The Stars” by The Rolling Stones! That’s right, they’re back! The rock and roll band that pioneered the iconic hard rock sound is back to releasing music. The Rolling Stones have been active for over six decades and have written their names in the history books. “In The Stars” is one of the two singles released from their upcoming album. It first starts as an 80s pop-rock song, but Mick Jagger’s vocals, lyrics, and the background vocals give listeners a taste of the new Stones sound. There are recognizable parts of the song that bring back memories of older Stones music, but “In The Stars” marks a new era for the rock band. Preorder/presave their new album, Foreign Tongues, out July 10th!
