independent thoughts on indie rock, alternative, and indie pop music
Rocknite transformed JBJ’s into a multi-stage rock festival during CMA Fest, drawing packed crowds across multiple floors for a full day of music. From early standouts like Pressure Heaven, Kitty Coen, and Common People to evening highlights from Wynton Existing, Dexter and the Moonrocks, and Cage The Elephant, the event delivered discoveries, surprises, and nonstop energy from start to finish.
Los Angeles indie rock band Common People return with “Blue Eyes,” a fuzzy new single produced by Cage The Elephant co-founder Brad Shultz. The track arrives as the band continues expanding its touring profile with festival appearances, support dates with Young The Giant, and an upcoming free performance at the rocknite takeover of JBJ's on June 5 in Nashville.
