By: Shelby Lum Many bands find it difficult to cross the threshold of genre. Atlanta based, O’Brother, don’t. Their album, “Disillusion,” brings in seemingly different forces of music to blend and contour a specifically niche sound. The album opens with “Come Into the Divide,” leading the record with peaceful vocals and a howling background. The […]
By: Shelby Lum The forecast might be rainy, but that doesn’t have to get you down! The music docket is filled with not only great acts, but pretty much any genre you want. Atlanta has it all. Whether you want to enjoy a relaxing night in the Atlanta Botanical Garden, or hang out with a […]
By: Shelby Lum Look no further for plans, Atlanta, we know what your doing (and it’s probably something on this list!). Whether you are wanting to make the most of your time with a trip to the Atlanta Botanical Gardens paired with some fantastic music, or looking for something a little different in the electronic […]
By: Shelby Lum Alright Atlanta, now every weekend is an exciting one, but this one might be just a little better than usual! In the mood for R&B? Check out R&B master K-Ci & Jojo at the Wolf Creek Amphitheater on Saturday night. Feeling like a jam band kind of day? Head to Jerry Day […]
By: Shelby Lum Pop Crash King’s Dark of the Daylight album into your car and let it spin for awhile (or mp3 if that’s how your roll). It doesn’t take long for it to become clear this isn’t the same band that debuted in 2009. The LA based rock band seems to have gone classic rock […]
By: Shelby Lum Quiet guitars strumming, amps pushed out of the way, and a performance mostly without the electric guitars that brought Anberlin to popularity will fill the Florida rockers’ show at The Loft. For their summer tour, Anberlin will be playing a stripped down show, reminiscent of sessions of MTV Unplugged, and fans can hear “Paperthin Hymn,” “Feel […]
By: Shelby Lum The guys from The Maine have been busy since their 2008 release “Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop,” including releasing their latest album a few weeks ago on June 4th. Singer, John O’Callaghan, took some time to chat with Atlanta Music Guide about The Maine’s newest album, and their upcoming show in Atlanta at The […]
By: Shelby Lum Soft. Soft is how lead singer, Will Fussell, came to describe Mood Rings‘ style. Most groups are reluctant or resistant to confining their music to a simple genre of word, but when put into a phrase, soft is an apt descriptor for the five-piece Atlanta band. “It’s meant to listen to in […]
By: Shelby Lum These Texans have come a long way, from playing for beer money to playing for house parties to signing a label to releasing their latest album with Sub Pop records. The Baptist Generals, an indie band out of Denton, Texas have taken ten years to create their most recent album “Jackleg Devotional […]
By: Shelby Lum Kane Stewart doesn’t own a car, and since moving to Nashville from California, skateboards around town, coffee in hand while making music with cousin Brad Shultz of Cage the Elephant. Having family in an already established rock band can make things easier for newcomer Kane, but he said that Plastic Visions, a semi-offshoot of […]
By: Shelby Lum Fronted by Australian Dion Nania, New York based Free Time has started to carve out a niche for itself in the music industry. Atlanta Music Guide got a chance to catch up with Jonah Maurer and talk about their friendly competition with Gotye, what they like to travel with, and what’s most played on their own stereo. […]
By: Shelby Lum Jerry Castle isn’t concerned with churning out pop hit after pop hit, or even country hits for that matter. He’s working for something a little bit more for himself. Nashville based Castle said that the way artists try and create popular songs today just isn’t conducive to an artist mentality. So he began to […]
By: Shelby Lum Both Double Dagger and Future Island were staples of the Baltimore music scene, yet Peals, the band that members Bruce Willen and William Cashion formed, is a vast departure from the punk roots of their previous bands. Peals has a sense of serenity to it, the kind of instrumental music you would play […]
By: Shelby Lum This weekend officially begins June, and that means hotter days, brighter sun, and even better music. Atlanta Music Guide has been kicking off the summer with festivals, huge concerts, and other musical treats, and this weekend is packed as well. Looking for local rockers? Head to The EARL for O’Brother. Even if […]
By: Shelby Lum Find that last bit of energy saved from the week, because this weekend is going to be filled with musical talent.
