Interview with Buffi Aguero from the Subsonics; Playing 529 tonight (Sept. 27)

Talk about tried and true: Atlanta’s Subsonics have been on the garage-punk grind since the early ‘90s.

This may seem like a ridiculous observation, but considering it’s been just shy of 11 years since they put out a record, it was a completely reasonable concern for long time fans. I certainly breathed a sigh of relief. It […]
