*SPOILER ALERT if you’re not caught up. Don’t get pissed. I warned you.* [youtube id=”6ckzE5vT0wc” width=”600″ height=”350″] June 30th is the night. And it’s going to happen again and again, every Sunday until September 15th. It will all be over soon. Dexter’s fate will finally be unmasked, and viewers will see the series for what…
REVIEW: Look Alive’s ‘Mistakes and Milestones’
Look Alive, an up-and-coming band straight out of Atlanta, Georgia, is kind of like a manifestation of all of your favorite pop-punk bands from 2004. Intrigued? Well, rightfully so. These guys have been at it in some form or fashion for over 10 years now, and now the time has come for them to release…
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…
Phone Chat with Flobots
Flobots emcee and vocalist Jamie Laurie recently agreed to spend a little phone time with me to talk about their new release, their tour, and their plans to record. I’ve generously embedded the video for the track below so that you can listen while you read our interview. Immerse yourself and enjoy. VM: Where are…
Pre-show Chat with Pretty & Nice
I was recently hanging out with Pretty & Nice before their show at Flicker Bar in Athens, GA. And because I love you guys, I recorded our conversation. Go ahead and listen to us talk about their current album, their awesome merch, and their future plans. And then go ahead and listen to their newest…
REVIEW: David Lynch and Lykke Li’s “I’m Waiting Here”
Two years since David Lynch’s “Pinky’s Dream,” the release of his upcoming album, The Big Dream, is creeping along quite nicely, with Lykke Li’s whispered hint of a far sexier and more surreal theme of an album that may indeed be much bigger and better than its predecessor. “I’m Waiting Here,” the Lykke Li/David Lynch…
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!
REVIEW: Heard In The Mountains’ Will To Well
In 2011, Vancouver-based band Heard In The Mountains got together and began shattering the windows of a local church – metaphorically speaking, that is. As their casual jam sessions began to morph into the beginnings of an actual band, their sound transformed into a rock-meets-pop-meets-indie powerhouse, and frankly, we’re surprised they didn’t blow that church’s…
REVIEW: “Palm Reader” by Sonny and the Sunsets
Sonny and the Sunsets’ follow-up to Longtime Companion is entitled Antenna to the Afterworld, and like many indie artists to go before them, Sonny Smith and his band are ripe to tackle death and its aftermath. The band suffered the loss of a close friend, and that tragic experience has led them produce songs like…
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…
