Hey All You Shuckers! Steamhouse Lounge Oysterfest, one of our favorite Atlanta events, is just around the corner and offers up 2 days of serious fun on Saturday, February 23rd & Sunday, February 24th! This is the original and best Oysterfest in town (Midtown to be exact) and it has been happening every year for […]
Shelby Lum It’s Valentine’s weekend guys! Instead of sitting at the usual dinner for two at an overly expensive restaurant why not enjoy a little of the Atlanta music scene. Whether or not you have a man (or woman) to bring along, you can surely find friends to make the weekend something more than just […]

By Jhoni Jackson I just knew Michael Nau and Whitney McGraw of Maryland-bred indie-folk act Cotton Jones were coupled up. Back in 2010, I reviewed a Dutchess and the Duke show for which Cotton Jones opened. (For AMG and at the same venue, no less.) Their vocal exchanges were so adorable, so intimate. I mentioned […]
By Ellen Eldridge Like watercolor mixed with wine, Sandra McCracken’s smooth voice resonates like an artist’s paintbrush pulling color through grey on a canvas. “Fire cannot burn the same place twice,” in the first track’s chorus confirms that sensory detail introduces and collates the songs on Desire Like Dynamic. “Go” is one of three sneak […]
Photos and Review by Chandler Mays Rosco Bandana is a little bit of folk, a little bit of soul, a little bit o’ blues, and a lot of rock ‘n’ roll! Their spirited performance at Smith’s Olde Bar on friday was a rollicking good time, and the perfect way to start the weekend. Hailing from […]
By Jhoni Jackson The bill at the EARL this Thursday is practically a sonic rejection of Valentine’s Day traditions. None of these bands are going to croon the soundtrack to your candlelit, arm-entwined sip of wine. More likely they’ll score your evening of white-knuckled can-crushing and drunken ex-bashing. The anti-cupid sentiment will abound—or at least […]
Atlanta based, internationally touring singer/songwriter Doria Roberts has lived on the road since performing at the original Lilith Fair in 1999 where she was plucked from the side stage to perform solos with Sarah McLachlan and the Indigo Girls. She quit her day job the next morning and since then has performed nearly 150 shows […]
Review by Ellen Eldridge The cover art for Holy Fire stands out like a battle call for a new British invasion. The third Foals album follows two gold releases and solidifies the group in a similar fashion to a small business that outlives its first few years. Truth be told, I haven’t heard the band’s […]
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 […]
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. […]
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 […]
Bosnian Rainbows is an American alternative rock band from El Paso, Texas, formed in 2012. The band consists of The Mars Volta members, Omar Rodriguez Lopez (guitar, backing vocals, keys) and Deantoni Parks (drums, keys), alongside the enigmatic Le Butcherettes vocalist Teri Gender Bender (vocals) and Nicci Kasper (keyboards, synths). Initially billed as a variation […]
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 […]
Let’s face it if you’re anything like us, concerts and events can add up and there are days when we’ll gladly eat a PBJ in order to save $$ & afford tickets to see our favorite bands! It’s really awesome when festivals understand that our love for music is endless, but our funds are not. […]
