The Airborne Toxic EventThe Airborne Toxic EventMusebox By Eileen Tilson When a band from Los Angeles comes along with a name like The Airborne Toxic Event, it makes sense to assume they are probably some dirty punk band, a product of their environment, but you would be wrong. Instead TATE, presents themselves as a society […]
Paul ThornA Long Way from TupeloPerpetual Obscurity Records By Al Kaufman Paul Thorn is a man's man. Back in 1988, he went six bloody rounds with the legendary Roberto Duran. But he is also sensitive enough that he hugged his idol both before the bout and after (when they were both in the emergency room […]
Tom GossBack to Love… By Al Kaufman As You Tube sensation Susan Boyle demonstrated, you can't judge a singer by his or her looks.

Though the group is new, these pros aren’t as delicate as the name suggests. Along with Ski […]

Here's a snippet: Jamie Dwyer and Iain Bluett were just a couple of indie music fans five years ago when they had a brainstorm that became a business. “We were constantly […]
New York Dolls ‘Cause I Sez So Atco By Noel Wurst It’s strange to compare the New York Dolls latest album, ‘Cause I Sez So, to the music of Randy Newman, but it’s pretty easy to do so. Both acts have been around a gazillion years, both have had really great songs, and they’ve both […]
About a year ago, local music fans in Atlanta were a-buzz with word about this new band, Missy Gossip and the Secret Keepers. Their mix of down-home country style mixed with the hipness of indie rock made them a huge draw for gigs at The EARL and Star Bar. But all has been quiet with […]
Ida MariaFortress 'Round My HeartMercury Records By Alexandra Edwards What is the fortress around Ida Maria's heart? Perhaps it's the frantically fun beat, the enjoyment of the night of with no thought of the morning after. The songs are stories of bars and boys, but with little sense of lament. Even on "Queen of the […]

Miniature TigersTell It to the VolcanoEpic By Alexandra Edwards In recent years, a particular subgenre of indie cinema has developed: cute and quirky films centered around offbeat, slightly strange boys who defy all previous tenants of masculinity.
