By Alec Wooden Sad songs aren’t for everyone. Some musicians don’t like to write them; some find they simply can’t. Greg Laswell doesn’t fit either description. Laswell, a West Coast-born multi-instrumentalist now based in New York, thrives on them, producing ever-pleasant piano/guitar pop-rock from often dark origins (by the way, don’t make “sad” synonymous with […]

By Alec Wooden Born in Bermuda and raised largely on his parents sailboat, reggae-folk rocker Mishka‘s music career began by chance when a record executive heard a rough demo in the mid ’90s and quickly signed him to UK label Creation Records for a relationship that lasted two records and garnered a substantial buzz within […]

Athens indie-pop princes Modern Skirts and Nashville psych-pop madmen The Features are joining forces at the EARL on Saturday, June 19 for a full night of pure unadulterated pop music. Both bands are hugely popular in Atlanta, and because of that we suspect this show will sell out. Get your tickets today, thank us June 19. Modern […]
British electro-pop band La Roux are coming across the pond with one mission – to make you dance! It’s definitely no mission impossible: five seconds into La Roux’s “Bullet Proof” and feet began tapping all over the AMG office; 10 seconds into the song heads were nodding and before the minute mark a disco ball […]

We’re especially excited about New Zealanders Crowded House – a supremely underrated band that doesn’t make it over to this neck of the woods often enough. Here’s what’s in store: 50 Cent – June […]
“Free Energy” from Free Energy on Vimeo. Maybe it’s just a good idea, but there is something about the name Free Energy that just makes you feel good. That good feeling only gets better once you start listening to their music. A retro-pop bag full of cheer, the songs are seriously happy. We actually like what we’ve heard […]
