Just like the prolific Lund’s subjects run the gamut, so […]

By: Taylor Magill I first met Dylan Michael completely by chance in September at a coffee shop on 10th Street while he was pinning his latest EP, Afterlove, to the community cork board. A self-proclaimed “bumpkin from Marietta”, Dylan made this album in his own home and it sounds just as professional as anything I’ve […]
By Scott Roberts Way back in the twentieth century—the 1980s to be exact—in a large, sunny town called Los Angeles, there were several bands who were influenced by the music, clothes, and attitudes of another time two decades earlier. Bands like the Dream Syndicate, Bangles, Three O’Clock, and Long Ryders lived, played, and rocked together […]
By: Shelby Lum Between 1993 and today, a good deal of things have happened. Back in ‘93 Russia finally left Poland. The PLO leader and Israeli prime minister shook hands. The Dallas Cowboys won the Super Bowl. And Collective Soul was just a child in the music world. It has been over two decades since […]

Aaron Bruno of AWOLNATION talked with us at AMG before his performance at the third week of Winter Wonder Jam at Atlantic Station. The electronic rock band is signed with Red Bull Records, meaning their performance will be anything but low energy. Their music has been featured on Sons of Anarchy and Vampire Diaries, and […]
Atlanta natives who make up The Quaildogs took some time to talk with us at AMG. The folk-pop band brings a slight country edge, courtesy of their southern roots. And really, who wouldn’t want to see someone playing the electric mandolin? Check out what they had to say before their show at Smiths Olde Bar […]
By Al Kaufman The one thing a music writer does more than anything else is hit the “delete” button. In the time it took me to write that last sentence, three press releases appeared in my in-box. A press release is like a resume given to a major conglomerate; it needs something to make it […]
Ringing in their new sound, Sugar & The Hi Lows are bringing back the era of feel good music, the days when one take as enough and an auto-tune was a thing you did to your ’55 Chevy. Brought to life by experienced songwriter/performers Trent Dabbs and Amy Stroup, Sugar & The Hi Lows is […]
