By: Taylor Magill I first came across The Electric Sons when I found a copy of their self-titled EP in the box office of the venue where I work. From first listen, I was hooked. With electronic influences, ELS’ EP is high energy from start to finish. ELS was formed in 2011 when vocalist and […]
By: Shelby Lum From Boston to Austin, Texas Aaron Sinclair of Frank Smith has moved around the nation, and is returning to The Drunken Unicorn to play his second Atlanta show. But Frank Smith isn’t a person, it’s a band. The name came after a previous name change, because another band had the name. “I […]
Like a dramatic slow clap excitedly gaining momentum, Clap for Daylight began as a cavalier suggestion in an Atlanta dive in 2007 and has since originated a powerful album with a dramatic sound uniquely their own. As Nashville roommates, fellow music students Greg Vilines and Alex Arnett discovered they shared more than milk and the […]
Goth girls to survivalists, bovines to bibles, antique pistols to vintage motorcycles: Alberta-born honky-tonker Corb Lund’s songcraft covers it all. From a rustic retreat deep in the Rocky Mountain forest, Cabin Fever, Lund’s enthralling new album, evolved from a period of introspection and hard traveling. Just like the prolific Lund’s subjects run the gamut, so […]

Through studying vocal dynamics and guitars, Ware developed a musical dream of his own. His interests as a country music singer began at the age of 14, when […]
By: Taylor Magill I first met Dylan Michael completely by chance in September at a coffee shop on 10th Street while he was pinning his latest EP, Afterlove, to the community cork board. A self-proclaimed “bumpkin from Marietta”, Dylan made this album in his own home and it sounds just as professional as anything I’ve […]
By Scott Roberts Way back in the twentieth century—the 1980s to be exact—in a large, sunny town called Los Angeles, there were several bands who were influenced by the music, clothes, and attitudes of another time two decades earlier. Bands like the Dream Syndicate, Bangles, Three O’Clock, and Long Ryders lived, played, and rocked together […]
By: Shelby Lum Between 1993 and today, a good deal of things have happened. Back in ‘93 Russia finally left Poland. The PLO leader and Israeli prime minister shook hands. The Dallas Cowboys won the Super Bowl. And Collective Soul was just a child in the music world. It has been over two decades since […]

Aaron Bruno of AWOLNATION talked with us at AMG before his performance at the third week of Winter Wonder Jam at Atlantic Station. The electronic rock band is signed with Red Bull Records, meaning their performance will be anything but low energy. Their music has been featured on Sons of Anarchy and Vampire Diaries, and […]
Atlanta natives who make up The Quaildogs took some time to talk with us at AMG. The folk-pop band brings a slight country edge, courtesy of their southern roots. And really, who wouldn’t want to see someone playing the electric mandolin? Check out what they had to say before their show at Smiths Olde Bar […]
