Photos and Review by Chandler Mays After spending all day recovering from Friday night, I grabbed my keys and jetted back to East Atlanta Village for another killer line-up at the sixth annual Nophest festival. I was so distracted looking over the schedule that halfway there I realized I was wearing the same outfit from […]
Photos and Review by Chandler Mays Nophest is described as “a non-corporate, no-bullshit music festival thrown every year in Atlanta”.

“With its latest offering, Beyond the Lightless Sky, Brooklyn five-piece Hull occupies a dark musical terrain that lies somewhere between doom, crusty/sludgy metal, and post-hardcore.” –Creative Loafing.

Good morning Atlanta! We have had a slightly slow start to the week, but I kind of like weeks like this….Kind of let’s you just ease into things, you know? There is not much going on in the city today, but just to start things off right, listen to this track by Ball Park […]
By Jhoni Jackson Italian trio Sultan Bathery is ripping through the states on their first American tour, and Atlanta marks the final stop in that three-week bout. That means this brand-new band—they released their first EP, Fireworx, on Slovenly Recordings only two months ago—will likely have their set finely tuned for a furious blowout. Expect […]
By Jhoni Jackson The boundaries of country music are somewhat rigid. While the old-school outlaws like Haggard, Kristofferson and Coe are still kicking, these days it’s the shiny, bejeweled mainstream brand that serves as the genre’s spokesman. Alt-country staples like the Drive-by Truckers, Ryan Adams and Deer Tick, a band Fritz is pals with, shouldn’t […]

Here are some shows that you might enjoy…And if you are an artist or an accountant, I think we can all find something interesting in this interview with Leonard Cohen. -A lush array of […]
With a backstory as epic as their name, Order of the Owl brings some of Atlanta’s most die-hard musicians together in one growling beast of a band. Fronted by Zoroaster’s Brent Anderson, the sound is decidedly metal, but drummer Corey Pallon’s classic rock influence and guitarist Casey Yarbrough’s driving progressive chords give new life to […]
By Gini Strobel Photo of The N.E.C. Tell me if this happens to you! You’re out at a great show, the headliner is wrapping up their final song, the music stops, reality steps in, your buzz is teetering, and you’re left to figure out a couple of things. Naturally, this creates a debate with you […]
