By Jhoni Jackson If you’re at all familiar with Cory Branan, you won’t be too surprised by his answers to our 5GB series. The Memphis-based artist’s work follows the storytelling vein of classic country and folk, and his responses reflect how deeply that tendency is rooted within him. He doesn’t give many short answers—he can’t […]
The Postal Service teased us weeks ago with a single image on their site that simply said “The Postal Service 2013”. While we all knew a tour was in store, we patiently waited to see if Atlanta would be on the list. Who wouldn’t want to stop in our lovely city and play at the […]
By: Shelby Lum The UK has been churning out stars since The Beatles, from Adele to Arctic Monkeys to One Direction. The Maccabees hailing from Brighton, England rapidly garnered attention as the new, but different British band to follow. “I think the only similarity is that we play guitar and that we are from England,” […]
One of our favorite Atlanta venues, Vinyl, is turning 10 this weekend and to celebrate a successful decade they are throwing one hell of a party with performances by: The Quaildogs, Red Letter Agent, Rantings of Eva, The Best Brothers, The Revels, & Low (from Fervor)!

In less than a month, we’ll all be celebrating our favorite Green holiday, St. Patrick’s Day, and Fado Irish Pub & Restaurant in Atlanta is kicking things off with a week-long party that culminates into 2 days of serious festival fun (March 16-17). From bag pipes and Irish dancers to cover bands and perfect pints […]
Review by Ellen Eldridge Fans on the bus with Buckcherry know the band for its rock appeal; the down and dirty life one would expect from a fast-soloing, hard living group of guys. And I may have always been running behind the bus unsure if I wanted on or not. I’ve seen Buckcherry open for […]
Review by Ellen Eldridge A thick band of power chords grinds out early in the opening track, “Head Together,” on Big Wreck’s Albatross, effectively introducing the band’s first new album in ten years. For fans unfamiliar with Big Wreck, comparisons to Soundgarden and Led Zeppelin are fair considering Nick Raskulinecz (Foo Fighters, Rush, Alice […]
Review by Ellen Eldridge Atlas Genius managed to do what almost every band wants to do and what very few achieve: buzz. Before the release of the band’s debut full-length, with only an EP, Atlas Genius generated quite a bit of well-deserved buzz. “Like an invitation you weren’t expecting to get, Atlas Genius knocks on […]
Photos and Review by: Catrina Maxwell with CatMax Photography, LLC Imagine Dragon sold out the Tabernacle, but after seeing Nico Vega I think they had a part in selling out that venue as well. I had never heard of the band Nico Vega before and as I entered the press pit I wasn’t […]
Review by Ellen Eldridge I get nervous with my Puscifer CDs because I know I will want them around to comfort me when I need a pick me up song full of boldly layered lines and powerfully dynamic vocals. Many Tool fans assume Puscifer is frontman Maynard James Keenan’s bastard child; a joke band […]
By: Taylor Magill I first came across The Electric Sons when I found a copy of their self-titled EP in the box office of the venue where I work. From first listen, I was hooked. With electronic influences, ELS’ EP is high energy from start to finish. ELS was formed in 2011 when vocalist and […]
By: Shelby Lum From Boston to Austin, Texas Aaron Sinclair of Frank Smith has moved around the nation, and is returning to The Drunken Unicorn to play his second Atlanta show. But Frank Smith isn’t a person, it’s a band. The name came after a previous name change, because another band had the name. “I […]
Hey All You Shuckers! Steamhouse Lounge Oysterfest, one of our favorite Atlanta events, is just around the corner and offers up 2 days of serious fun on Saturday, February 23rd & Sunday, February 24th! This is the original and best Oysterfest in town (Midtown to be exact) and it has been happening every year for […]
Shelby Lum It’s Valentine’s weekend guys! Instead of sitting at the usual dinner for two at an overly expensive restaurant why not enjoy a little of the Atlanta music scene. Whether or not you have a man (or woman) to bring along, you can surely find friends to make the weekend something more than just […]
