REVIEW: Lockn – Day Four
The last day of a four day festival is always that day when you know you are completely exhausted and perhaps just totally burned out, but any fatigue is suppressed by the notion that there are great music and vibes to bask in for just one last day. Although “Sunday Funday” was about to commence…
Austra: Feel It, Live
I didn’t tear up during Austra’s heart-wrenching “Home,” with Katie Stelmanis’ opera-trained vocals and strong repetitive keyboard transitioning into upbeat —but still terribly lonely— electro-pop. I wasn’t alone in my car this time; I was at a dive-bar and venue in East Atlanta called The Earl, staring at Stelmanis’ knee-length culottes and platform shoes, the…
of Montreal: Lousy with Sylvianbriar
If you have ever listened to of Montreal, you are aware of the psychedelic journey their tunes can take you on. A fitting album cover photo, perhaps, for Lousy with Sylvianbriar, since you may find yourself ready to hop on that bike and ride off into lands of trippy new colors and skies. With the…
REVIEW: Lockn Festival – Day Three
It was another beautiful day at Lockn’ and day three opened with a fusion of ‘80s and bluegrass. Yes you read that correctly.

REVIEW: Lockn Festival – Day Two
Friday was a brand new day in the world of Lockn’ with all the hiccups of yesterday behind us.The sun was shining, the sky was blue, and the beautiful oak tree in the middle of Oak Ridge Estate greeted us as we made our trek to the festival area. This second day of music started off…
REVIEW: Lockn Festival – Day One
With the car in park and the engine turned off we got out of the car, grabbed some chairs, cracked open some beers and found some respite from the beating sun in the shade of a neighboring parked RV. Our collective group of friends was among many who had arrived at Oak Ridge Estate on…
Visc: The Original Rebels
Original Rebels is the fifth and most current product of Dylan Fellows’ solo project, Visc. This particular album is composed of songs themed for his childhood fears: werewolves, villains, and “Chupey”. At such an innocent age, the absurdity of our imaginations dominates our perception of reality, and even Goosebumps seems plausible. In retrospect, we see…
