It’s safe to say that one of my least favorite bands of all time is Nickelback. I can honestly say there is nothing I like about them. Not one single thing. Nothing. But here’s the problem. Nickelback has sold over thirty million albums over the past several years. Let me repeat that because I don’t […]
We just got word that the Cobra Starship show at Vinyl on August 19 is SOLD OUT! So sorry if you didn't get your tickets early enough this time around, there aren't any available. We'll let you know if any more are released.
We just got news that the Florez show at Smith's Olde Bar on September 15 CORRECTION August 18 has been canceled. No word yet on whether or not it will be rescheduled. UPDATE: Florez's September 15 show is still on. Tickets for that gig are available at Ticket Alternative.
We have a last-minute show announcement for The EARL. This Monday, Los Angeles hardcore legends Fear – who, along with Black Flag and Circle Jerks founded the movement – will play The EARL with fellow Californians Bloodhook. Tickets are on sale now at Ticket Alternative.
School of Seven Bells Alpinisms Vagrant By Beverly Bryan School of Seven Bells is a welcome refuge from all of the bland pop coming out now. The airy songs on Alpinisms, released last Octobeer, may melt on the tongue rather than stay with you, but they’re still far more than flavorless background noise. Electronic tribal […]
We just got word that merry jam rockers The Heavy Pets are coming to Atlanta on October 21, when they will play Vinyl. Tickets for the show will go on sale tomorrow, Friday, August 7 at noon at Ticket Alternative.
Seattle post-hardcore quartet These Arms Are Snakes are set to play Star Bar on October 1, along with darlings of the blogosphere DD/MM/YYYY, as well as Atlanta's own Whores and Hawks. We've popped a video of These Arms Are Snakes' rockin' "Red Line Season" so you can get a little taste of what they're all […]
We can't deny the awesomeness that will be this show. With our hometown boys Mastodon headlining with (sort of local boys) Adult Swim's fictional metal band Dethklok, as well as Converge and High On Fire, The Tabernacle is going to be a metal fan feast come November 5. Tickets are going on sale this Friday, […]

In gearing up to hit the road for a bit, I went to see several unsigned bands in Atlanta this past week. Some new, and some that have been around for a while (maybe too long?). It’s the latter of those two groups that have been on my mind lately. I’ve been thinking about bands who slug […]
The Delfields Ogres Independent By Chris Homer Listening to Ogres, the newest album from New Jersey’s The Delfields, it is difficult not to compare the band to The Shins. Right away, the group hits you with “A Slippery Slope,” a track that earns the aforementioned comparison with its sunny, psychedelic-tasting guitar riffs and heavily reverbed […]
Jeff MerchantCity Makes No Sound By Al Kaufman Imagine crystalline water flowing down a rocky waterfall surrounded by lush greenery on a blue-skied summer's day. Pretty, isn't it? So is Jeff Merchant's music. Merchant's sound is a mix of the Decemberists and Death Cab for Cutie after they've been listening to a lot of latter […]
We just some great announcements for Drunken Unicorn's fall shows. First up is the utterly delightful Chairlift, who will be coming to Atlanta with Micachu & the Shapes on September 9. Many of us know the band from their sweet-as-pie song "Bruises," which was used in the colorful iPod Nano commercial a little while back, […]
Bat for LashesTwo SunsAstralwerks By Micah McLain Natasha Khan used to love telling fairy tales to her students as a nursery-school teacher. Things have not changed much; now she simply goes by the name Bat for Lashes and tells her stories to a growing number of older kids, albeit with a wide range of musical […]
We've got three pretty rad announcements for The EARL. First up is Wavves, the notoriously notorious bunch of indie darlings who somewhat imploded on their last tour. Sounds like the cracks have been mended and this time around they'll be doing it right. Check them out at their Atlanta stop on October 4 to see […]
