Ha the Unclear: ‘Bacterium, Look At Your Motor Go’
New Zealand shares yet another refreshing sound with Ha the Unclear’s newest album Bacterium, Look At Your Motor Go, which was released in the U.S. September 30th (yes, we are a little late to the game, but this was too good to pass up talking about). Michael Cathro leads the four-piece band in this vibrant…
Cold War Kids: ‘Hold My Home’
Cold War Kids released their fifth album on Oct. 21. Sadly, none of the band’s albums have lived up to the high praises of their debut, Robbers & Cowards. With the exit of their lead guitarist in 2012 and drummer in 2013, the band has faced some of the most devastating obstacles within a group. In a…
Little Big Town: ‘Pain Killer’
Little Big Town released their much-anticipated album, Pain Killer, on Oct. 21. The group has been paying their dues since 1998 and just recently became a household name with their first Top 10 song, “Little White Church,” in 2010. They didn’t earn the title of a No. 1 song until 2012 with the infamous “Pontoon.” The same…
Kacey Musgraves at the Georgia Theatre on October 17
Kacey Musgraves visited Athens for a sold-out debut performance at the Georgia Theatre on Oct. 17. Before she emerged from the curtain, the lights dimmed and allowed for the audience to get a good look at the multiple neon cacti and her signature arrows adorning the stage. Her all-male band members filed out, each wearing…
Gwen Stefani: “Baby Don’t Lie”
Gwen Stefani released her first solo song in 8 years on Oct. 19. Stefani returned to her band No Doubt after promoting her second solo album, The Sweet Escape, which was released in 2006. Since then, she has toured and released an album with the band that is currently on a hiatus. Stefani has resumed her…
Florida Georgia Line: ‘Anything Goes’
Florida Georgia Line released their second installment to their discography Anything Goes on Oct. 14. Since the duo released their first single “Cruise” in 2012, their career has exploded. Every single released since then has reached No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs and Country Airplay charts. Their debut album Here’s to the Good Times…
Lia Ices at Tabernacle on October 14
[tps_header] How many pop stars do you know from Westport, Connecticut? Didn’t think so. Allow me to introduce Lia Ices, the experimental pop songstress you may not yet be familiar with, but will be soon enough. Having just released her third full-length album (second for Jagjaguwar) and currently touring with Phantogram, it won’t be too long before Lia Ices is a more…
Weezer: ‘Everything Will Be Alright in the End’
Weezer released their ninth studio album, Everything Will Be Alright in the End, on October 7. With only one single and various song leaks released from the new album just a few months prior, the band accumulated intense buzz, especially since they haven’t released an album since 2010’s Hurley. Much to fans’ approval, the band reunited with…
Hozier: ‘Hozier’
With his first single gaining momentum on the top charts, Hozier released his debut studio album October 7. While the name may point to a band, Andrew Hozier-Byrne acts all on his own. The Irish musician released two EP’s previous to the studio album, one in 2013 and another earlier this year. What set the…
CHVRCHES at Buckhead Theatre on October 8
[tps_header] You know you love a band when you have only three songs in the pit to get photos you need for an article, yet you’re still barely able to control yourself from dancing and jumping in front of the stage. I say barely…when the lights would cut out completely for a couple of seconds…
