Atlanta rock doc. to finally see the light of day
L.A.'s drunk-punk scene wouldn't be the same without Blaque Chris, and since everybody else and their dad is opining about their favorite albums of the decade on our site, we figured, hey, why not Chris?

Now in its sixth year, Los Angeles' F Yeah Fest has evolved into yet another incarnation. Created in 2004 by 18-year-old Sean Carlson, the event has been everything from a multi-day affair to a traveling tour. For its '09 edition, Carleson and co-curator Keith Morris (of Black Flag) have decided to make F Yeah Fest a one day extravaganza of up-and-comers and hidden gems, all amidst a backdrop of raising awareness for the possible closure of up to 100 California State Parks. The Black Lips, Tim & Eric, Lightning Bolt, The Thermals, and Lucero will head [...]

The Burn to Shine Atlanta house at 54 Moreland Ave. finally came crashing down this morning at 9 a.m.
Carbonas perform at B Jay Womack's funeral benefit.
Le 1er juillet dernier , Bobby Ubangi s'éteignait à l'age de 34 ans. C'est aujourd'hui que le pilier de la scène garage d'Atlanta est célébré. BJ Womack avait largement contribué a faire émerger ces dix dernières années toute la scène garage-punk de son bled. Pote de la première heure des Black Lips, de King Khan et membre des Gaye Blades, Lids et Carbonas, Bobby souffrait depuis un bout de temps d'un foutu cancer. Il ne s'était pas pas résigné à arrêter la musique, ni à jouer l'impresario et pour tout dire, il n'avait même jamais [...]
Atlanta five-piece the Stolen Hearts are a sultry, girly punk-rock band that revels in a damaged, Phil Spector punk vibe, churning out simple, ballad-esque rock and roll songs that the hone primitive, melodic instincts, sweet crooning and hooks that are as innocent as they are on fire. For their show tonight (Sat., June 6) at [...]
G. G. King talks about writing Carbonas songs, moving on and celebrating the prospects of what happens when good musicians make bad decisions.
Song: Typical Jerkoff Artist: The Carbonas Album: The Carbonas LP Comments: Most people think of The Black Lips when they think of ATL. There is a time an place for flower punk. You want to rock? Well, the Carbonas punk is the right formula. A great kick in the pants for a lazy Sunday. Song: You Suck Artist: Consolidated Album: here and now Comments: Song: Lies Artist: The Delmonas Album: Dangerous Charms Comments: Everyone remembers this as a Beatles [...]

Atlanta institutions such as Rob's House Records, Die Slaughterhaus Records, Douschemaster Records, and Triple D's are teaming up to put together a festival called Atlanta Mess-Around going down in a couple of weeks. I'm not the biggest fan of garage/punk rock in the world, but there is no denying that many of these bands are very good. Also, every event I've attended put on by these folks have been a ton of fun. Paste did an interview with the heads of all three labels that you should check out . The full schedule goes like this: [...]

Carbonas' MySpace page is completely stripped down and to the point, just like the song "Hate You," a classic power-pop head-rush from the band's newest album. If you desperately want to break up with your girlfriend or boyfriend and you're are too much of a wuss to tell them, or there is someone in your life that just doesn't "get" the fact that you aren't interested in them, make them a mixtape with this as the lead-off track. Chances are...they'll get it right away. Their album is great all the way through. Listen to more songs [...]
