Interview with Atlas Genius’ Keith Jeffrey

By: Shelby Lum The Aussie indie rockers, Atlas Genius, aren’t really your standard quartet considering three quarters of the band are brothers. Keith Jeffrey, Michael Jeffrey, Steven Jeffrey, and friend Darren Sell make up the group, but little sibling rivalry seems to exist between the brothers. They actually see it as an advantage to be touring with […]

Picture Book & Live Review: Flogging Molly w/ David Hause & Skinny Lister @ Tabernacle 2/9

Photos & Review by Hillery Terenzi Flogging Molly is a band that I’ve been wanting to see for many years now. I had extremely high expectations for Saturday’s sold out performance at the Tabernacle and they filled them all plus more. The crowd was a mixture of young and old with kilts and flat caps. […]

AMG’s Ones to Watch: Tir Asleen

By: Taylor Magill In a world where every high school kid has access to a guitar, the music industry is full of  hundreds of bands restricting themselves to some sort of popular sub-genre and the fleeting hope of cornering some portion of an over saturated market. This is not the case  with Calhoun’s experimental post-hardcore […]

CD Review: Pissed Jeans – Honeys

By Ellen Eldridge Punk rock and glam metal drove two divergent paths into the forest of music, so, when I hear about a band with a name like Pissed Jeans coming out of Allentown, Pennsylvania, with ‘80s hardcore punk influences I wonder if this is a group of basement dwelling geeks or a project to […]

Q&A with The Jompson Brothers; Playing @ Smith’s Olde Bar Saturday, Feb. 9th!

The Jompson Brothers were born in a garage in Nashville, TN as a result of late-night jam sessions between former SteelDrivers frontman Chris Stapleton (vocals, guitar) and Greg McKee (guitar).

Founded in Los Angeles in 1997, Flogging Molly has always defied categorization. The infectious originality of their songs is a badge of honor and key to the band’s creativity, their urgency. They infuse punk rock with Celtic instruments—violin, mandolin and the accordion—and they merge blues progressions with grinding guitars and traditional Irish music, the music […]

Q&A with Misery Loves Chachi, Playing at Vinyl, Saturday, February 9th

The brainchild of musician Nathan Sadler, Misery Loves Chachi is one of ATL’s most intriguing new bands. A blue collar synthesis of Belle and Sebastian and Steely Dan, the band mixes a diverse array of complex lo-fi keyboard textures–with ambient, dreamy electric guitar riffs–layered above dynamic and energetic drums and bass. Rich and subtle harmonies […]

As Nashville roommates, fellow music students Greg Vilines and Alex Arnett discovered they shared more than milk and the […]

Q&A with Corb Lund; Playing at Smith’s Olde Bar Tonight (Feb. 6)

Goth girls to survivalists, bovines to bibles, antique pistols to vintage motorcycles: Alberta-born honky-tonker Corb Lund’s songcraft covers it all. From a rustic retreat deep in the Rocky Mountain forest, Cabin Fever, Lund’s enthralling new album, evolved from a period of introspection and hard traveling. Just like the prolific Lund’s subjects run the gamut, so […]

Q&A with Bo Bice; Playing @ Mill Town Music Hall, Friday, Feb. 8th
