Cold War Kids Loyalty to Loyalty Downtown Records by Noel Wurst Argh, damn Cold War Kids.

I wanna hear the band! […]
Various Artists Official Music Featured on Gossip Girl Atlantic Records by Noel Wurst The whole TV show soundtrack genre is a tricky one. No one is going to purchase an album of songs from a show that they don’t watch, and I can only assume that a devoted viewer of a program would not only […]
I listen to a lot of crappy music. Not intentionally of course, it’s just the nature of my job. Doing what I do requires me to sift through the mountains of CDs, MP3s, and Myspace links that I receive on a daily basis. The hope obviously is that I’ll find that one band whose songs […]
In a recent interview in Q Magazine, Liam proclaimed himself the Salmon King, on account of his new favourite food. (apparently he was told it helps him live longer, so much so that if Yoko were to turn up at his house he’d probably even make her a salmon stir-fry… read the interview.. it’s great). […]
Calling David Ford an edgy emotional singer-songwriter is far too generic of a description. His sophomore album, Songs For the Road is a beautifully crafted piece that explores personal demons and relationships gone bad, and beautiful guitar and piano lines do permeate, but Ford is so much more than the stereotype. Seeing him live makes […]

This city never ceases to amaze me. When it comes to music, Atlanta seems to turn out more good music lately, then any other city. Just when I think the well is dry, someone pops their creative head above the sand and screams "listen to me, I’m good", and lately they’ve been right. I already […]

Another Atlantis Music Conference has come and gone. Hard to believe its been 11 years since the first one. Say what you will about it, but I have fun every year. Doing what I do for a living, I’m out at the venues a lot throughout the year, but it’s nice having a 3 day/night […]
The BittersweetsGoodnight, San FranciscoCompass Records by Al Kaufman Hannah Prater’s voice evokes emotions that most people never even knew existed before they heard her.
