CD Review: Sorry No Ferrari — Ternary; Playing The Drunken Unicorn, October 23
Sorry No Ferrari Ternary Stickfigure Recordings By Eric Chavez In case you create a band that uses absolutely no lyrics or vocals, period, in your records, there is only one thing to do: create an instrumental album to rock the senses.

Bits and Bobs: Cornershop, Sade, Daft Punk, Deerhunter and More
– We’ve missed having Cornershop around. With their disco-plus-Asian sounds mixed in with the hip indie rock of the day, they have always been refreshing and eager to please. So we’re glad to hear they are releasing more music following 2009’s Judy Sucks A Lemon For Breakfast on November 2 (The Battle of New Orleans […]
Live Review: The National at The Fox Theatre, October 5
By David Courtright For one who has never seen a band like The National live, the pre-show speculation can be vast and sundry. How can a band who makes music like they do pull it off live? What works with their sound is their slow, pleading malaise. They craft slow-burn songs out of a deep […]
CD Review: Weapons of Audio — Bipolar; Playing Star Bar, October 21
Weapons of Audio Bipolar Unsigned By Eric Chavez If there is one thing you cannot do, it’s define what kind of sound that Weapons of Audio have created for their album Bipolar.

CD Review: The Vampire Diaries Original TV Soundtrack
The Vampire Diaries Original TV Soundtrack Virgin Records By Ellen Eldridge “Love Sucks” emanates from within layered musical images as the soundtrack for “Vampire Diaries” plays. The idea of pale, bloodsucking walkers of the night is so reminiscent of high school; the torments of pressure to live on even after you feel the cold acceptance […]
Live Review: Dead Confederate at The Masquerade, October 4
Review and photos by Ellen Eldridge The light sifted through heavy fog as Dead Confederate quietly took the stage. No dramatic rush on stage; the men just walked on, picked up their instruments and started playing. Quietly. The effect on the audience was the same as the attention brought on by whispering in a crowded […]
CD Review: The Sword — Warp Riders; Playing The Masquerade, October 12 — CANCELED!
The Sword Warp Riders Kemado Records By Al Kaufman There’s something about metal and fantasy. Gods, Norsemen, and epic battles seem to be the perfect stories to tell in front of crunching guitars.
Live Review: The Electric Six at The EARL, October 2
The Electric Six stopped in to play at The EARL last Saturday as part of their tour with The Constellations. The Constellations always draw well in Atlanta, and this night was no exception. Their enthusiastic hometown crowd was augmented by all those Atlanta area Youtube junkies that just can’t stop queuing up Electric Six videos. […]
