Whew! What a weekend. Wait, was it what a weekend? I don't even remember what I did Friday night! I know I worked late…but after that…Oh, right, I stayed in. That wasn't at all exciting, was it? And last night I went across town to cash in on a dinner bet and hang out in [...]

It's been a long weekend. I'm gonna go watch Game of Thrones and then hit the sack. In case you were wondering, I only got a couple of the RSD exclusives I was hoping to find, including the Chelsea Wolfe 73 (apparently no one in Silverlake likes her, as we still have 2 of the [...]

THIS WEEK'S BEST BET: Young Widows w/ The Liverhearts, Hawks, Castle Saturday, Febrauary 2 The Earl - 466 Flat Shoals Avenue in Atlanta 30316 Admission $10 / Purchase Tickets Louisville's Young Widows have become a consistent touring presence in Atlanta, good for at least two shows of fierce, earth-shaking rock every year. And while all sorts of "power" cliches come to mind when discussing the trio's music (the group thrives on delivering crushing riffs and their rhythm section is as tight [...]

Sebastian Mlynarski I expect there's a lot of interest in drawing parallels between the success of Purity Ring with that of Grimes what with both being based out of Montreal - although Purity Ring's Corin Roddick and Megan James originally hail from Edmonton - and releasing albums of electronic pop that seem to be the perfect soundtracks for the zeitgeist circa 2012, and on the same label outside of Canada, no less - the legendary 4AD . But whereas Claire Boucher's work is rather defined by its technicolor ADD-ness and her [...]

by BBG After Refused at Terminal 5 ( pictures ), I headed to Greenpoint to try and catch the tail end of the Young Widows / Pygmy Lush / Primitive Weapons show at Saint Vitus Monday night (4/23). Though I missed Primitive Weapons entirely, I arrived just in time for the first song of Pygmy Lush, catching all of their set before Young Widows took the stage a little before midnight. Young Widows [...]

Frank Yang Know what makes it a bit difficult to concentrate on covering stuff in the afternoon? Finding out in the morning that you've won a ticket to see Bruce Springsteen in an intimate theatre show that night. Not bragging - okay, a little - just adding some context. And bragging. Yeah. Anyways, after doing my victory dance (don't pretend you don't have a victory dance) I did get out into the world to check out a day show at Jackalope run by fellow blogger Rawkblog that featured [...]

Here are my obtuse meanderings vis-a-vis the best records of the year. Please forgive my inanity. 11. Let’s Wrestle – Nursing Home Nouveau ’90s rock was to 2011 what dance punk revivalism was to 2001. And of all the bands channeling classic slackercore this year, Let’s Wrestle did it the best. 10. Russian Circles – Empros I’ll be honest, I’m not a huge fan of instrumental rock — particularly metal. After all, it usually involves more noodling than a Pauls [...]

We're only mere weeks away from the official start of winter, so don't forget to party while you still can. We're talking about some great shows including The Cell Phone s at The Hideout, Russian Circles at Lincoln Hall and Missing Monuments at the Empty Bottle. Let's rock and roll, hoochie koo . FRIDAY THE CELL PHONES It's hard to believe that the [...]
