hallpass kicked off this year’s summer break celebrating the release of their new album at Aisle 5 for all of their hometown fans, bringing Athens to Atlanta.

If you’ve never seen someone scream into the hollow of an acoustic guitar mid-song, then you clearly weren’t at Friko’s sold out show celebrating the release of their newest album, Something Worth Waiting For.

New York rapper Lexa Gates was in and out of Hell at The Masquerade last week. The show started less than an hour after doors, and Gates wasted no time coming onto the stage after Vayda’s short-and-sweet opening set. She wrapped things up by 9:30 p.m., sprinting her way through a 16-song setlist. Her few words to the audience were to express gratitude for them and love for Atlanta.

The year was 2024. Just as everyone was wrapping up their year-end lists, Wallice released her debut album, The Jester: her most well-conceived, creatively thought-out project yet. Fast forward a year and a half, Wallice has hung up the red clown nose and just completed touring the US and Canada, performing songs from her currently untitled sophomore album rolling out later this year.

After quite a tumultuous pre-release period, Atlanta musician Parker Wierling and director Rubnogs have managed to work things out and deliver the “Blur of Love” music video to the world today. “Blur of Love” is the first single from Wierling’s upcoming debut album. It’s a surprisingly danceable tune whose bass and guitar riffs are hidden amongst the reeds of an unsuspecting acoustic melody. The single is a balanced and easy listen, giving us a taste of the nostalgic alternat

After completing their UK run a little while ago, Remember Sports are currently on tour across the US with still a ways to go but last week they made their stop in Atlanta performing fan-favorites and songs from The Refrigerator for an eager crowd.

On March 31st at Aisle 5, Hannah Cohen transformed her stage into something ethereal. Known for her dreamy, folk-inspired sound, Cohen’s performance transfixed her audience throughout her intimate set. The venue’s cozy environment only deepened that effect, dissolving the boundary between artist and audience and leaving fans suspended in a shared moment—like one of her own lyrics come to life: “I think I know you well, at least I think I do.” Hannah Cohen at Aisle 5 (Photo: H

"It's a pleasure to be in Atlanta- alright let's f**king do this." New Zealand pop star BENEE went off the rails in Atlanta performing songs from her new album Ur an Angel I'm Just Particles at Terminal West bringing along her iconic silly personality and unique fiery stage presence. When we had spoken to BENEE last year in our interview, she had said she wanted the album to feel like you were stepping in a world complete with beauty and existentialism and that is exactly the

Karly Hartzman of Wednesday (Photo: Sam Kapoor) Wednesday went off on the sold-out-in-every-city Bleeds tour this month kicking off in Knoxville then Atlanta and so on last weekend before their upcoming double duty at Coachella in April and soon finishing off this leg in Vancouver. We are very appreciative to have been able to attend and cover the show in Atlanta at Variety Playhouse last week and it was immediately clear after just the first song that Karly Hartzman is havin

The self-described “critter country” music of Amelia Einhorn, better known as Meels, is a product of a youth spent playing in creeks hidden amongst the redwood trees of California. In her newest set of songs, Across the Raccoon Strait , she settles into a sound that honors these roots. Meels joined us from her hometown in Northern California to discuss how location impacts her creative process, the catharsis of songwriting, and her debut EP with Lost Highway Records. Meels

BENEE wants her newest album, Ur an Angel I’m Just Particles, to feel like “stepping into a world,” complete with both beauty and existentialism. Last month, the New Zealand-born, recently Los Angeles-based artist (and her foster kitten Steve Jobs) joined us in a press conference hosted by 1824, to talk about the new record, a conceptual set of songs that illustrate her growth as an artist and a person.

After JUST coming off of a massively successful release cycle for their new album, Geese, one of the most exciting rock bands today, hurdled towards Atlanta on their sold-out-for-months-in-every-city Getting Killed Tour.
