CD Review: Lazer/Wulf, “There Was A Hole” EP
Lazer/Wulf There Was A Hole Here, It’s Gone Now Self-Released By Stephanie Roman (www.stephanieroman.com) In my research prior to hearing Lazer/Wulf for the first time, I read a bio that described the band as “an evil funk group with thrash roots, or an aggro jazz trio with sludge issues,” cringed a bit, and edged the […]

CD Review: Efren — Write A New Song, Playing The Five Spot, April 26
Efren Write A New Song Slo Pro Records By Ellen Eldridge While the clichéd ideas in country music – losing a job, dog, and wife and so on – stick out as trite, mundane and self-pitying in a way that should be reserved for Goth music, Efren takes the simplicity of everyday life, love and […]
Live Review: Vonnegutt at Smith’s Olde Bar, April 13
By Justin Lyons; photo by Dale at NetFreqTV Fans were probably wondering if Vonnegutt could match the energetic opening performance from drummer/DJ duo ALIen last Friday night at Smith’s Olde Bar. Luckily, the four-piece outfit from Atlanta/Marietta still knew how to bring a raucous party with hits of new and old. Opening with a nod […]

CD Review: jENNiNGS — Take It or Leave; Playing Smith’s Olde Bar, April 17
jENNiNGS Take It or Leave Emerging Artists Music By Al Kaufman Singer/songwriter/pianist Mary Jennings is pretentious. A singer cannot use such a capitally-challenged moniker and not be thought so. She only enhances that perception on her live album, Take It or Leave. She includes an intro on every song because, you know, it’s like, important […]
CD Review: Tumbledown House — Fables and Falsehoods; Play Twain’s, April 19
Tumbledown House Fables and Falsehoods Silent Coyote Music By Al Kaufman Welcome to the Roaring ’20s, in all its sexy, boozy, violent glory. Montana’s Tumbledown House are so fresh and exciting because they do old so well. Vocalist Gillian Howe and jazz guitarist Tyler Ryan Miller have surrounded themselves with all sorts of cool cats, […]
Live Review: Red Hot Chili Peppers at The Arena at Gwinnett Center, April 10
By Stephanie Roman Trusting his senses, Anthony Kiedis scans the crowd and notes: “Everything feels good here tonight — looks right, smells right.” Rocking out since 1983, the Chili Peppers’ tribal beat goes on. The band’s longtime members Kiedis, Flea, and Chad Smith return to the road to support their latest record, I’m With You […]

CD Review: The District Attorneys — Slowburner; Playing The EARL, April 14
The District Attorneys Slowburner This Is American Music By Justin Lyons The District Attorneys’ Slowburner would be easy to describe as southern rock reminiscent of The Drive-By Truckers. Much like The Drive-By Truckers, the quintet hails from Athens, but their debut album is more akin to the diverse stylings of My Morning Jacket and Band […]
CD Review: Say Anything — Anarchy, My Dear
Say Anything Anarchy, My Dear Equal Vision Records By Al Kaufman First things first, these guys are nothing like the John Cusack movie. They are not going to play Peter Gabriel through their boom boxes up to their girlfriend’s window. No, their love songs have more of a Sid and Nancy feel to them. On […]
CD Review: Halestorm — The Strange Case Of…
Halestorm The Strange Case Of… Atlantic Records By Ellen Eldridge Hard-living, ass-kicking women who are also attractive and able to sing are just what this world needs more of, and this is exactly what Halestorm’s front woman, Lzzy Hale, brings to the table with The Strange Case Of…. The single, “Love Bites (And So Do […]
