Common Knowledge: Weekend Playlist By Todd Herrington

|

Topics: , , , , , , ,

Every Friday night, RVA Mag drops a hell of a playlist curated by influential artists, musicians, and institutions.

This week’s installment is brought to us by Todd Herrington, bassist extraordinaire and man-about-town. You might recognize him from his work in a variety of local groups, including Mekong Xpress & the Get Fresh Horns, The Big Payback, and the Cris Jacobs Band (to name a few), as well as his excellent solo work. Herrington wields his bass to create a variety of different sounds and genres of music, and his playlist reflects his eclectic palette, showcasing everything from soul jazz and postpunk to old time folk and classic 70s rock. All of it is sure to get you through a cold, rainy weekend with a sunny smile on your face.

Tune in, Virginia.

Love Like Blood: Weekend Playlist By Unmaker

Topics: , , , , , , ,

Every Friday night, RVA Mag drops a hell of a playlist curated by influential artists, musicians, and institutions.

This week’s installment is brought to us by Unmaker, the up-and-coming local goth-metal outfit. They just released their debut album, Firmament, back in October on Seeing Red Records, and if you dig this playlist, which is loaded with dark and menacing postpunk, goth, and metal ragers from the past several decades, you’ll certainly want to pick that album up. Until then, spend a snowy weekend haunting shadowy rooms to this ominous soundtrack.

Jam on, Virginia.

When we interviewed them last year, just before the release of their first EP, Episode IV, we called them “punk-funk.” That made sense at the time, in light of the clear influences from bands like Gang Of Four, The Rapture, and Moving Units that shone through on their debut EP.
