CD Review: No Doubt, Push and Shove, Released September 25th

By Molly Segers No Doubt’s Push and Shove actually sounds like a No Doubt record. 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.

Cahoone’s […]

Picture Book and Review: Ben Folds Five @ the Tabernacle Sept. 18th, 2012

Review and Photos by Codi Glancy It’s been 13 years since the last Ben Folds Five album and 12 since they last toured. Last night was the band’s first time back in Atlanta since 1998.
