By Ellen Eldridge I actually Googled “Baddest Blues” to see if the song of the same title was originally written by blues singer Billie Holiday or maybe Nina Simone, but Beth Hart simply drew from these great inspirations and then some (according to her own list of artists to whom she dedicated Bang Bang Boom […]
Brewhouse Music and Grill in Rome filled up quickly Thursday night with fans in cowboy boots and plaid shirts anxiously waiting for country boys Channing Wilson, Canaan Smith and Love and Theft to take the stage. What a perfect line-up, all three sets were amazing and so much fun! I had the privilege of catching up […]

Live Review by: Molly Free Photos by: Taylor Magill I was really looking forward to heading down to the Earl on a chilly Tuesday night to catch the Mowgli’s and Family of the Year play. I saw Family of the Year play last year, and I was looking forward to seeing them again, but I […]
Live Review by: Molly Free A cozy night at Eddie’s Attic listening to the storytelling talents of Eliot Bronson and his band Yonder Orphans seemed like the perfect plans for a rainy Friday evening. An Atlanta favorite and Open Mic Shootout alum, Eliot created an intimate environment that those who flock to the Attic crave. […]
Review by: Al Kaufman Led by bands such as Mumford and Sons and The Lumineers, folk-rock is enjoying a revival. People keep coming back to the earthiness of the music. The songs are pretty and melodic, with lots of harmonies and enough hooks to stay wedged between your ears for a few days, or at […]
Review by Ellen Eldridge On the one hand, hearing that Suicidal Tendencies releases its first new album in 13 years makes me reminisce on the bands that plowed me through the ‘90s; on the other hand, a nagging voice asks, “Really?” because didn’t Megadeth just release an album called 13 in 2011? But Suicidal announces […]
Despite a weekend full of stormy weather, hundreds of people of all ages came out to Kennesaw’s Fifth Third Bank Stadium to see American Idol Season 11 Champion, Phillip Phillips. The lawn was filled with blankets, umbrellas and chairs, with even more people in the stadium seats, as Denver five-piece band, Churchill opened for Phillips […]
Review by Ellen Eldridge Black Out the Sun is the ninth release by Atlanta natives Sevendust since 1997; this release also marks the first time the band has taken more than two years to release an album as Cold Day Memory came out in 2010. The guys must have taken the extra year to nail […]

Review and photos by Ellen Eldridge Fans who caught St. Lucia opening for Ellie Goulding at The Tabernacle in January returned to the Vinyl last night to catch them headlining a show, with Haerts supporting. Both acts stood out for their vocalists, who each maintained a fun atmosphere of rhythm and dancing. St. Lucia singer […]

Review by Ellen Eldridge The Descendents’ influence on Colleen Green extends through fuzzy guitars, growling amps and quietly melodious vocals on her full-length Sock it to Me (3/19 Hardly Art Records). She has been described as “long hair and getting high,” by Joe Bernardi, and if that doesn’t speak to the theme and the undercurrent […]
Review by Ellen Eldridge The word Intronaut makes me think of a spacesuit-clad band destined only to open for bigger bands, spiraling out musically while standing still on stage. After listening to Habitual Levitations, I feel quite certain that Intronaut will break out of its well-earned slot opening for bands including Tool and Meshuggah. Maybe […]
