By: Taylor Magill When you grow up in a small town like Chatsworth, Georgia, sometimes the only thing there is to do is start a band. After playing in different groups and working to find themselves musically, Gold Plated Gold came together in January of 2011. Self described as “three men bounded by the hand […]
Featuring Gringo Grande, Modern Skirts, Back City Woods, Moon Taxi, Dirty Sound Professors, Drivin’ N Cryin’, Drive-By Truckers By Leila Regan-Porter The Hummingbird Stage and Taproom has been a pretty good solid outlet for live music in Macon, increasingly so in the past couple of years, bringing in enough rockin’ touring acts and alt-country locals […]
By: Shelby Lum March is just around the corner, meaning spring is on the way! Boots and scarves have been fun, but I for one am ready for the sun to shine, and bluer skies. We can embrace the last weekend in February with some great music and an awesome festival! Here are Atlanta Music […]
By: Shelby Lum It’s not everyday a venue celebrates a full decade in the business, and Vinyl is celebrating in style with some of the city’s best acts. The Quaildogs are among some of the bands playing for the venue’s big bash. The band has played at Vinyl twice, said Lee Berg, vocalist and bassist. […]
Sol Driven Train Underdog By Al Kaufman Sol Driven Train is made up of a bunch of happy guys from Charleston, SC who love making music and probably listened to a lot of Jimmy Buffett as kids.

By Jhoni Jackson If you’re at all familiar with Cory Branan, you won’t be too surprised by his answers to our 5GB series. The Memphis-based artist’s work follows the storytelling vein of classic country and folk, and his responses reflect how deeply that tendency is rooted within him. He doesn’t give many short answers—he can’t […]
The Postal Service teased us weeks ago with a single image on their site that simply said “The Postal Service 2013”. While we all knew a tour was in store, we patiently waited to see if Atlanta would be on the list. Who wouldn’t want to stop in our lovely city and play at the […]
By: Shelby Lum The UK has been churning out stars since The Beatles, from Adele to Arctic Monkeys to One Direction. The Maccabees hailing from Brighton, England rapidly garnered attention as the new, but different British band to follow. “I think the only similarity is that we play guitar and that we are from England,” […]

Review by Ellen Eldridge Fans on the bus with Buckcherry know the band for its rock appeal; the down and dirty life one would expect from a fast-soloing, hard living group of guys. And I may have always been running behind the bus unsure if I wanted on or not. I’ve seen Buckcherry open for […]
Review by Ellen Eldridge A thick band of power chords grinds out early in the opening track, “Head Together,” on Big Wreck’s Albatross, effectively introducing the band’s first new album in ten years. For fans unfamiliar with Big Wreck, comparisons to Soundgarden and Led Zeppelin are fair considering Nick Raskulinecz (Foo Fighters, Rush, Alice […]
Review by Ellen Eldridge Atlas Genius managed to do what almost every band wants to do and what very few achieve: buzz. Before the release of the band’s debut full-length, with only an EP, Atlas Genius generated quite a bit of well-deserved buzz. “Like an invitation you weren’t expecting to get, Atlas Genius knocks on […]
Photos and Review by: Catrina Maxwell with CatMax Photography, LLC Imagine Dragon sold out the Tabernacle, but after seeing Nico Vega I think they had a part in selling out that venue as well. I had never heard of the band Nico Vega before and as I entered the press pit I wasn’t […]
