On the latest episode of Long Live the Music, Kiel Hauck and Nadia Alves jump in the scene time machine to travel back to the heyday of Tooth & Nail Records, when the label was pumping out one hot new band after another.

Kiel and Nadia recount some of the label's best bands that never took off and examine what may have been the reason. The discussion includes bands like Jonezetta, Waking Ashland, Run Kid Run, Secret & Whisper, and much more. Lis ..read more

Kiel Hauck is joined by Kyle Schultz to look back on the past 10 years and discuss some of their favorite moments covering the bands they love and discuss how the music scene has evolved since 2013.

Taylor Swift has been at the epicenter of the pop culture zeitgeist for the entirety of the year (and more) and it appears that things won't be slowing down any time soon.

During the conversation, they seek to pinpoint key moments that have led to the ungodly success of the Eras Tour and discuss what comes next - namely, how long can Taylor ..read more
