Cd Review: Serg Tankian – Harakiri

  Review by Ellen Eldridge Generally speaking, I don’t choose to spend my time listening to others bitch about religious freedom or political injustice. I delete those friends on Facebook who spread horrible pictures of abused animals and children, not because I am insensitive but because that’s the last thing I need upsetting me during […]

Picture Book & Live Review: Zach Deputy @ Eddie’s Attic – July 6th, 2012

Photos and Review by Chandler Mays Zach Deputy’s solo-acoustic set at Eddie’s Attic was the perfect way to start my Friday evening. The show was intimate, reverent, and strangely hilarious. Instead of live entertainment at a venue, it seemed more like Zach was a close friend who whipped out his guitar for an impromptu performance […]

Picture Book & Live Review: Lazer/Wulf @ The Earl – July 7th

Photos and Review by Chandler Mays Anyone who tries to spread the word about Lazer/Wulf always runs into the same problem: Explaining their sound. People throw around genre catchwords such as metal, jazz fusion, thrash, sludge, mathcore, aggressive, progressive, symphonic, melodic, evil-funk, avant-metal… the list goes on. Personally, I prefer to use the phrase “groove […]

Live Review: One wild night with Baby Baby , Dumbfoundead, and Watsky

Live Review: One wild night with Baby Baby , Dumbfoundead, and Watsky

By Vince Bailey Hip hop is universal.  The demographics surrounding the music can never be identified within a simple box stating, “this kind of person is the typical hip hop fan or artist”. Watsky and Dumbfoundead proved that Friday night with a sold out concert at the Drunken Unicorn in their Atlanta leg of the […]

CD Review: Everest — Ownerless

Everest Ownerless ATO Records By Al Kaufman Success in the rock world is a crap shoot. For every Coldplay and Linkin Park that make it big, there are thousands of bands that have more talent but never make it. Is Everest a great rock band? No, but they’re just as good as any of these […]

Picture Book and Live Review: Nada Surf @Vinyl – July 3

Review By Codi Glancy, Photos courtesy of Hillery Terenzi There shouldn’t be any argument if someone said that Nada Surf is one of the best Indie bands ever. They’ve been a force to reckon with since the late 90s and are still pumping out great records to this day. They’ve been one of my favorite […]

Live Review: Lower Dens @ The Earl – June 22

By Margaret Price Texas-born Jana Hunter has been all over the musical map. In addition to being a classically-trained violinist and the first person to release an album on Gnomonsong, a record label run by Devendra Banhart and Vetiver’s Andy Cabic (her 2005 solo debut album Blank Unstaring Heirs of Doom), over the years she […]

Picture Book & Live Review: These United States @ The Earl – June 30

Photos and Review By Chandler Mays When These United States began their show at the Earl, they got right down to business, and buddy, business was a-boomin’! The room was only half full, and many were still ordering drinks at the bar, discussing methods on enduring the summer heat, but by the end of the […]

CD Review: Tab Benoit — Legacy: The Best of; Playing Smith’s July 4th

Tab Benoit Legacy: The Best of Telarc By Al Kaufman Tab Benoit is old school. In the world of the blues he may still be considered a newcomer, but there is a reason he won the B.B. King Entertainer of the Year award at the 2012 Blues Music Awards. Benoit plays fat and juicy licks, […]
