By Eileen Tilson Indie rockers, Grouplove, have been very busy this year. Having toured with the likes of Florence & the Machine, the band released their first full length album, Never Trust a Happy Song, in September, and have been touring the country in support. They joined us for our 5GB series, before their show […]
Before I tell you about all the awesome happenings in Atlanta tonight, please forgive me for the inconsistency of posts!

Well Mr. Cabrera is far from the days of being Ashley Simpson’s main squeeze, and he is physically taking on the part of being a serious musician as well. Ryan (aka every teenager’s heartthrob) joined us for our 5GB series before […]
Happy Tuesday Everyone! Yesterday I found out that Paul McCartney gets married on John Lennon‘s birthday, former Weezer bassist prophetically tweets about his own death, and a woman drove into Tin Lizzy’s! I know it is a full moon, but this is a bit much! Here are some things to do tonight, just make sure […]
By Scott Roberts Beloved Athens band R.E.M. announced, with little fanfare and on a Wednesday, that after 31 years they had decided to call it a day.
