By: Taylor Magill I first met Dylan Michael completely by chance in September at a coffee shop on 10th Street while he was pinning his latest EP, Afterlove, to the community cork board. A self-proclaimed “bumpkin from Marietta”, Dylan made this album in his own home and it sounds just as professional as anything I’ve […]

On stage and in the studio, Jon Spencer has destroyed and rebuilt American roots music with such ferocity and wild abandon, that it’s hard to believe there is anything left.
