Photos by Hieu Nguyen and Review by Vincent Bailey Being the son of a radio DJ, I used to think my ear was always listening to the latest and greatest hip hop circulating the streets. Boy was I wrong. Around 2003 a high school friend told me that I may have known the hits on […]
Photos and Review by Chandler Mays Ever since the late 90s, it has seemed to me that the neo-soul trend, started by greats such as Prince and Sade, has steadily declined over the years. While that may be true, the recent Ava Luna show in East Atlanta’s Restaurant and Lounge reminded me that the genre […]
Photos and Review by Amanda Miles The Allman Brothers Band breezily took the stage on August 1, 2012 in the sweltering Atlanta heat. The Chastain crowd was jubilant, happy for the chance to reunite with the legendary band. The Allman Brothers Band are embraced as locals due to strong ties in Macon, Georgia. ABB were […]
Photos Courtesy of Codi Glancy, Review by Gini Strobel As a fan of Local Natives and Beach House, I instantly gravitated towards the debut, self-titled album from Milo Greene (released last week). I invited a friend to join me at the Drunken Unicorn and was pleasantly surprised when several other friends wanted to tag along to […]

Photos and Review by Chandler Mays At The Earl this past friday, Jungol unleashed a slew of new songs they’ve written over the past months, and I, along with a packed house, reveled in every single moment of their set. On my way to the show, I realized that I didn’t care what songs they […]
Photos and Review by Codi Glancy The ATL Collective has continuously brought us wonderful renditions of classic albums once a month since 2009. Taking place at Eddie’s Attic and composed by a plethora of musicians from our great city, the collective captures the essence of each interpreted album from start to finish while adding a […]
Photos and Review by Chandler Mays Zach Deputy’s solo-acoustic set at Eddie’s Attic was the perfect way to start my Friday evening. The show was intimate, reverent, and strangely hilarious. Instead of live entertainment at a venue, it seemed more like Zach was a close friend who whipped out his guitar for an impromptu performance […]
Photos and Review by Chandler Mays Anyone who tries to spread the word about Lazer/Wulf always runs into the same problem: Explaining their sound. People throw around genre catchwords such as metal, jazz fusion, thrash, sludge, mathcore, aggressive, progressive, symphonic, melodic, evil-funk, avant-metal… the list goes on.

They’ve been a force to reckon with since the late 90s and are still pumping out great records to this day. They’ve been one of my favorite […]
By Margaret Price Texas-born Jana Hunter has been all over the musical map. In addition to being a classically-trained violinist and the first person to release an album on Gnomonsong, a record label run by Devendra Banhart and Vetiver’s Andy Cabic (her 2005 solo debut album Blank Unstaring Heirs of Doom), over the years she […]
Photos and Review By Chandler Mays When These United States began their show at the Earl, they got right down to business, and buddy, business was a-boomin’! The room was only half full, and many were still ordering drinks at the bar, discussing methods on enduring the summer heat, but by the end of the […]
