Left Lane CruiserAll You Can EatAlive By Al Kaufman Left Lane Cruiser is called a lot of different things. Most say it's a blues band, but they are also a hard rock band with a lot of Southern fried attitude. They are their own category. Call them Industrial Redneck, or Country Thrash. Backed by Brenn […]
I spent the weekend in Nashville attending the Next Big Nashville Music Conference. I saw several great bands from that fine city, but the two that stood out the most were from here in Atlanta. It’s always good to see a band from my town playing in another city because there’s a much different energy […]

By Sam Parvin Asher Roth, famous for his beer-guzzling, bongalicious tune “College”, joined the Blink-182 Reunion Tour just a few weeks prior to their Wednesday show at Lakewood. And, while Roth’s style is certainly not punk-rocker like Blink’s, the combination is complementary. Roth sings about his “glory days,” as a 20-something (currently) with two years […]
By Scott Roberts The idea of a phone interview with Fran Healy scared me. For two reasons. One, having the opportunity to talk to one of my honest-to-goodness musical heroes – the angel-voiced, principal songwriter of Travis, a band who has created some of the most consistently melodic and engaging pop-rock of the last 12 […]
'60s pop flavored indie rockers The Dutchess and the Duke will be returning to Atlanta for a show at The EARL on December 16. We'll be welcoming them back with warm arms, as they certainly do well in this city. As delightful proof, we've offered up this video of them performing at a Criminal Records […]

Built to SpillThere Is No EnemyWarner Brothers By Al Kaufman The good news is that Built to Spill, the godfathers of the indie rock scene, are back in fighting form after a few meandering missteps. The bad news is that few seem to care. It's been about 10 years since Built to Spill put out […]
Erin McKeownHundreds of LionsRighteous Babe By Al Kaufman "You can't deny me my kingdom" asserts Erin McKeown on "You, Sailor," a hushed ballad that recalls early Suzanne Vega. And while the song deals in more of a maritime theme, one can't help think that the line serves as a metaphor for McKeown's musical career; as […]
