Impediment have long been a staple of Nashville’s DIY scene, spanning punk, jangle pop, shoegaze, and a vast variety of other genres over their career. They’ll be playing a free show at the East Room on Thursday, March 19th at 7:30pm to end their US tour.

This interview has been edited for clarity and length.
