Most of the time in this city, bands rise and fall based on who they know and how exciting they are live. But for this list, I've considered only what is contained on their recordings. Over the course of the year I've given roughly 75 records from inside the perimeter a spin, and these are the essential twenty that I recommend listening to most. There are actually many records that I really liked that just missed the cut, so this was very tough to piece together, especially the final spots. Looking at this list and comparing it [...]
Photo by Kevin Griggs The Rain has been causing death and destruction across Atlanta for nearly two weeks now, and it tried its hardest to dampen the fun at The Other Sound Festival last Saturday. I got to Little Five Points early enough to get some grub and catch Today The Moon, Tomorrow The Sun kick off the event, but unfortunately the outdoor stage they were slated to play on got rained out for the day. It was quite unfortunate that the weather washed out so many great acts on the lineup, but there was still [...]

The Orphins were one of the very first bands to get me interested in Atlanta's music scene. They were really the first band where I thought, I would get into this act even if they weren't local. When I picked up their 2004 full-length release, Drowning Cupid , I listened to it non-stop for months. I had been anxiously awaiting a follow up for 5 years now, and just as I had begun to lose hope and start to believe that The Orphins may just have become a forgotten relic of the scene's past, they have [...]

I plan to stop by Lenny's and check out the breast cancer research benefit going down this evening. The Orphins, The Liverhearts, Fag Static and Strezo all on the same bill is pretty sweet. Should be a fun time. The Orphins : Crayons In The Cold
Two of the best bands in this city are doing a few OTP dates over the extended weekend. If you read Ohmpark regularly, you know we are big Nomen Novum fans, but we don't talk about The Orphins nearly enough, mostly because they haven't been the most active band since releasing their first full-length, Drowning Cupid , back in 2004. I just recently purchased another copy of it because I had lost my original, and have had it back in my listening rotation. It has got to be one the best albums to ever come [...]
Sunday I went to The Earl for Dunch and caught The Jupiter Watts doing a really nice, chill performance: Check out this video of Mastodon in the studio working on their follow up album to 2006's Blood Mountain : Deerhunter are doing a show in New York this weekend where [...]
