By Jhoni Jackson Now on his second LP, Mikal Cronin has fully escaped the confines of being simply “Ty Segall’s bandmate.” He’s been at it for a few years now, but MCII solidifies Cronin as a luminary crooner in the garage-pop realm. The album is contemplative and compelling, replete with energetic jams like “Change” and […]
What started as an open mic project for a shy, young Shannon Shaw (vocals, bass), to try out some tunes ended with the Clams’ meeting and forming a band, Shannon and the Clams, comprised of Shaw, Cody Blanchard (vocals, guitar) and Ian Amberson (drums, vocals). Haunting yet beautiful growls emanate from the band’s two lead […]

Psychedelic Brooklyn septet NYMPH is coming to Atlanta just two days before the release of their second LP, New Millenium Prayer and we got a chance to talk to Matty McDermott about the band’s expanded lineup, collaborative recording and bombastic live shows.

By: Lindsey Borders Nashville transplant musician, Jameson Elder, who hails from Georgia began his music career as a young child. He started out with piano then gravitated towards guitar and hasn’t put one down since. Ever since he left his hometown of Atlanta to take his music career to the next level in Nashville, Jameson […]
Small Black just released their 2nd LP, Limits of Desire, on Jagjaguwar. It’s a lush, purposeful album that the band feels is a full realization of their sound. The band’s heading to Atlanta now, and we got a chance to talk to lead singer Josh Kolenik about secret gallery shows, crews of raccoons and swamp boats. […]
