On the Line with Zach Lind of Jimmy Eat World
It finally happened. I got the chance to interview Zach Lind from Jimmy Eat World. There is really no way for me to write as anything but an obsessive fan on this one, so I’m going to make it short and sweet. Those of you who have been long-time readers – or new readers who…
Catching Up with Sirah
So you all remember the interview with our girl Sirah back at SXSW in March? Yeah, well…lucky us, we got to catch up with her AGAIN for a quick phone chat to see what she’s been up to since then. Turns out, it’s a lot. Read below to learn about her new EP, her current…
Words with Andrew Cedermark
Andrew Cedermark has just released his sophomore album, Home Life, a follow-up to 2010’s major success Moon Deluxe. In celebration of his recent release (the album came out July 11), as well as his current tour, we decided to ask Andrew a couple of questions. Check out our conversation below! Vinyl Mag: Why did you…
Q&A with District Attorneys
The District Attorneys, a band comprised of Atlanta and Athens natives, have quickly established themselves in the Athens music scene and is undeniably a musical force to be reckoned with. Formed in 2009, these guys have made continuous strides in the right direction not only in making music that people want to hear, but also…
Phone Chat with Lemuria
After catching their set at SXSW, Lemuria stuck in my head and grew as an unshakable interest in my mind. Lemuria was formed in Buffalo, NY and have since spread themselves around the country. With the release of their newest album The Distance Is So Big, we figured now we would be a good time…

On the Lawn with pacificUV
We met up with pacificUV before their show at the 40 Watt in Athens, GA. Looking for a quiet place to interview, we ended up crashing the lawn of a frat house to talk about their new album, The Album Leaf remix, and upcoming tour. Enjoy!
In the Dark with Ryan Graveface
So I saw The Casket Girls at South by Southwest, and I kicked myself for not getting into them beforehand so that I could interview them there (dudes, you should see this band live. It’s quite an experience). Lucky for me, it wasn’t even two months later that they showed up in Athens to play…
Backstage with Deadstring Brothers
Listen up. I got to hang backstage with Nashville-by-way-of-Detroit-based Deadstring Brothers at their show at the 40 Watt, and now you get to listen in and pretend you were there. They’ve been compared to 70’s-era Rolling Stones. They have been called a country band. They’ve been called a blues band. Whatever they are – I’d…
