5GB With The Whiskey Gentry; Playing Three Nights @ Smith’s Olde Bar, July 12-14th

I am proud to say that I have known The Whiskey Gentry’s lead singer, Lauren Staley (Morrow!) since we were just wee babes obsessed with England. After over more than a decade I have watched as this songbird played her first mini-gig to a bunch of drunken Germans, then drunken English, and now of course […]

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 […]

5GB With Paint Fumes; Playing The Earl Wednesday, July 11

By Jhoni Jackson If Troma Entertainment had wanted a band on retainer for its raunchier early ‘70s flicks, Paint Fumes would have easily been a go-to group. While they look a little glam at times—mostly because frontman Elijah Von Cramon often sports neck scarves, patterned blouses and other accoutrement excavated from the prettier aspects of […]

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 […]
