"Across the Cumberland River from Music City, the burgeoning neighborhood of East Nashville has become a haven for artists, songwriters, and other creatives. One such songwriter is Andrew Adkins, who has been a part of the Nashville community for over a decade. As the city expands and modernizes while preserving its heritage, so too does Andrew’s music.

Early in his career, Adkins co-founded two dynamic groups which served as introductions to the music business. He toured with his blues-infused power trio, Mellow Down Easy, for eight years. His gritty-rock band, Lions for Real, made waves amongst the music industry before catching the attention of Werewolf Heart Records, the indie-label fronted by actor Ryan Gosling. The band imploded almost as quickly as it surfaced, leaving Adkins uncertain of his musical future.

After years of collaborating in bands, Andrew decided to step away and develop his own distinct sound. His solo work resulted in the song “I’m Indestructible” which was featured on film trailers and television. Subsequently, his song “Fire & Brimstone” was used in the trailer for the Colin Hanks-helmed All Things Must Pass: The Rise and Fall of Tower Records. In 2015, Andrew released Glass Castles, a roots-centric album which garnered acclaim from critics and music fans. A more experimental EP, Monsters + Ghosts, followed in 2016.

Adkins’ latest album To Become Immortal Then Die is a compilation of new songs mixed with highlights from previously released solo projects. The aforementioned “I’m Indestructible” and “Fire and Brimstone” exemplify Andrew’s cinematic style, which has been influenced by filmmakers such as Sergio Leone, Harmony Korine, and Quentin Tarantino. The title of the album is a nod to the 1960 Jean-Luc Godard film Breathless. This retrospective collection demonstrates Andrew’s ability to blend a broad range of styles and instrumentation. He succeeds in merging electronic and retro-pop sounds with lush pedal steel guitar courtesy of Tim Rogers. The new album is woven together by a common thread: unpretentious, honest, roots-influenced American music."

Lola Montez sounded. Inga Rudin, the band's vocalist, is so pretty that it takes a second to focus on what is happening, to be quite honest. However, this is not a band that relies on this fact, as the guitarist, Blake Scopino, for this Nashville-based band showed with a sound that was original in much the same way that Rage Against The Machine's Tom Morello is.

Like Morello, his chops were not only on point all set long, but his breaks were not easy to play and highly technical in some places. Though not a glam band, their showmanship was not lacking, with Rudin even venturing into the crowd, dancing erotically on tables, and high-fiving the crowd while on a wireless mic.

Their fill-in bassist, Sebastian Baltes, is the son of Peter Baltes, bassist for metal pioneers, Accept. This explains how he learned such complicated parts in less than a week! "He [his dad] has been doing it since the 70's," Baltes said proudly of his father. Andy Sneap, now of Judas Priest, produced Accept's latest offering as well as others, and he voiced his praise for Sneap's fortune during our interview. "That is right up his alley. We were all so very happy for him when we heard that he got the gig in Priest [VIDEO].

As for the Rudin, her voice is reminiscent of Janet Napolitano (Concrete Blonde), Jefferson Airplane (who they cover with an almost fusion funk bass line via "White Rabbit," their closer) or the under-rated Motels. Songs like "Monster" were powerful, intricate, and delivered concisely. This track began a bit like Pink Floyd's "Run Like Hell" and only went crazier from there.
