The Ginger EnvelopeInvitation Air One Percent By Eileen Tilson Athens-based Ginger Envelope returns with its second full-length, Invitation Air (One Percent). Recorded to a 16-track analog tape, this album turns up the twang factor, showcasing Matt Stoessel’s pedal steel and Patrick Carey’s delicate, lazy, Bob Dylan-esque voice.
Review and photos by Julia Reidy If there had been wires running from the instruments Megafaun (pictured below) and Bowerbirds (three shots, above) played onstage, from their faces and hands to the eyes and ears of everyone in the crowd, you would’ve seen bursts of green light, energy snapping and crackling along the lines all […]

fun.Aim & IgniteNettwerk by Micah McLain Fans of The Format were no doubt devastated when the band announced a hiatus in early 2008. The Phoenix, Ariz. band is known for some of the most melodious, harmonious and downright happy indie pop ever made. Well, it's time to turn that frown upside down, because Nate Ruess […]
Review and photos by Micah Mclain The Drive-By Truckers brought the rock show to the Capital Theatre in Macon Thursday night. Opener Tift Merritt played a great set, although her acoustic-leaning alt-country tunes struggled to find the volume necessary to drown out the loud, rowdy (and borderline rude) crowd that DBT shows have become known […]

After extensive touring with the likes of Spoon, The Walkmen and Tokyo Police Club, and festival stops at Lollapalooza, Glastonbury, Sasquatch, and signing with TBD Records (U.S. home to Radiohead, Other Lives and Hatcham Social) the Brooklyn based six-piece returned to […]
The Fiery FurnacesI'm Going AwayThrill Jockey By Ben Grad What do The Fiery Furnaces play on I'm Going Away? They play a lot that you've heard on their previous albums, but dulled, continuing the progression towards a more accessible, less challenging, sound that they began with Bitter Tea in 2006. Within minutes, you're reintroduced to […]
Sister Hazel ReleaseRock Ridge Music By Eileen Tilson It has been a decade since Sister Hazel was “happy, happy;” from divorce, to birth and death, every member of the band seems to have dealt with some sort of personal tragedy in the past few years.

The Antlers Hospice Frenchkiss Records By Julia Reidy Pete Silberman’s warbling voice exposes a beautiful but deep-rooted anger throughout Hospice, the breakthrough full-length from Brooklyn’s The Antlers. After a wildly successful self-release earlier in the year, the record is getting a proper reissue August 18 via Frenchkiss records, home of other heavyweights like Les Savy […]
Fun-maker extraordinaire Dan Deacon will be returning to Atlanta to play Eyedrum on October 2.

We're expecting another huge turnout for the show this time, […]
