Scene Spotlight: Athens Hip Hop

Posted on May 4, 2018May 14, 2018 by Harper Bridges

ATHENS, GA—The town renowned for cultivating R.E.M. and the B-52’s has long been a haven for indie rockers; the rent is cheap, the locals are always buzzing around concert venues, and starting a band is so easy that virtually everyone and their mother is in one. Over the decades, the outfits at the forefront of…

HINDS: ‘I Don’t Run’

Posted on April 6, 2018April 6, 2018 by Harper Bridges

Hinds is back with the release of their much-anticipated sophomore studio album I Don’t Run, and they haven’t strayed from their ultra-cool, garage-tinged rock. Despite Hinds hailing from Madrid, I Don’t Run sounds like it was recorded in an American garage by four dogged women who aren’t putting up with your shit – oh wait,…

Show Review: Japanese Breakfast at the 40 Watt Club

Posted on April 5, 2018May 23, 2018 by Harper Bridges

From the moment she stepped onto Athens’ 40 Watt stage, Michelle Zauner captivated with her easy, self-assured energy and verve.

Soccer Mommy: ‘Clean’

Posted on March 2, 2018March 2, 2018 by Harper Bridges

Soccer Mommy (aka Sophie Allison) hasn’t abandoned her lo-fi bedroom pop aesthetic in her latest album Clean, just dialed up the production value a notch and added some layers. Her coming-of-age, sometimes naïve, sometimes adolescently self-deprecating, sometimes wise lyrics still sit unassailably at the forefront of her songs, filling whatever space they’re listened in with…

Marlon Williams: ‘Make Way for Love’

Posted on February 19, 2018February 19, 2018 by Harper Bridges

Marlon Williams is only 27 years old, but unfailingly keeps proving that his musical maturity is a force to be reckoned with. With a crooning voice that upon first listen may be mistaken for Elvis’s, Marlon lulls into captivation anyone who’s listening in his second solo album, Make Way for Love, combining the styles of…

Born Ruffians: ‘Uncle, Duke & The Chief’

Posted on February 16, 2018February 16, 2018 by Harper Bridges

In their latest release, Uncle, Duke & the Chief, Born Ruffians continue to do exactly what is expected of them: yodel out jangly, catchy indie rock tunes. Whether or not you’re fatigued by the lack of substantial evolution from the band who released their first full-length album almost 10 years ago is for you to…
