In the end, Poison is a bucket-list add-on for anyone that's yet to witness their grandiose stylings, and a do-over for any diehard that relishes in the good times. We won't tell you that Poison puts on the greatest show on Earth, but if you believe that, we won't argue with you either.
POND – Live @ The Loft
The POND gang serviced onlookers with abundant space-inspired hooks, wild and weird lead-singer antics, and just a let-loose dosage of good old-fashioned fun. POND is, most definitely, one act to catch on the live circuit.
Festival Preview: ONE MusicFest
Hey Atlanta, did you read the good news? Yes, ONE MusicFest, A-Town's premier hip-hop celebration, has announced its lineup for the forthcoming event, and man, it is astounding.
Album Review: Kanye West – Ye
Overall, Ye is another volatile chapter in the book of Yeezus. It's candid, despicable, attractive, disgusting, hurtful, and, at times, hopeful. Ye is not West's best album, but it just might be his most genuine.
Artist Spotlight: Makeout
Interview with Makeout's Alex Lofton about the band's new album, performing live, and playing a part in the final Vans Warped Tour cross-country festival.
Bishop Briggs – Live @ Center Stage
Musically, Briggs' sound is a fusion of power-pop, hip-hop, soulful rock, and a slight hint of goth mixed in there somewhere. Her vocal prowess is that of legends, her bone-chilling high notes can tear the roof off of any venue. Finally, her showmanship is heartfelt and honest, her non-stop violent gallivanting perfectly epitomizes her thumpers. Bishop Briggs is the total package.
Dave Matthews Band – Live @ Cellairis Amphitheatre at Lakewood
In the end, the ceremony flowed superbly and smoothly to the tune of nineteen tracks, nearly three hours, and over eighteen thousand diehards. To witness the Dave Matthews Band in their element is to witness legends at work.
Everclear – Live @ The Buckhead Theatre
It was a legitimate Throwback Thursday in Atlanta. Nineties alt-rock icons Everclear took over the entertainment reins at the Buckhead Theatre, and funneled their contagious raw energy into a gnarly night of grunge that diehards will not soon forget.
Album Review: CHVRCHES – Love Is Dead
To illustrate the message behind CHVRCHES' Love Is Dead is akin to describing yin and yang as manifested components of the same force. No longer intertwined or complimentary, but broad strokes within a complex mind. Lauren Mayberry's lyricism comes across as gloomy, aggressive, and, at times, resentful and resigned, yet she never loses that tonal tenderness or benevolent optimism by which her songwriting prowess has operated.

Yes, fine fans of tunes and waves, this is a dream come true!
