‘Tuned In’ review: Rowdy Rye Rye goes, pops, bangs

Story by Chuck Campbell

As the title implies, Rye Rye’s new “Go! Pop! Bang!” is sensory overload, a full-throttle fusion of rap, dance and electronica that can be mesmerizing or off-putting. Or both, if you’re a moody sort.

It hasn't gotten a whole lot of press, and it's easy to miss if you're just casually driving by (to the extent that anyone drives casually on Kingston Pike).

Powell BBQ joint boasts fine food, friendly folks

Story by Matt Ward

North Knoxville is not filled with watering holes, bars, pubs, lounges, public houses, tap rooms, saloons or gastropubs. It has lots of parks and a good amount of restaurants, some of which are locally owned, iconic and indescribably delicious. In my occasional search of new business licenses in Knox County I found a place in the Powell community of North Knoxville called Corvette's Bar-B-Que and Catering.
