PinkPantheress’s fans were giddy with anticipation, dressed in their best Y2K and singing her most viral hooks as they entered her sold out performance.

In their annual WREKTACULAR Music Festival, a student-led event, a thoughtful curation of up-and-coming bands from all over the country came together to put on an unbelievable show of eclectic sound, this year at Variety Playhouse. With 8-highly acclaimed bands, including Atlanta’s own Lun

Alice Phoebe Lou’s newest record, Oblivion , is a solitary one. Aside from being written, performed and produced by herself, it’s very spare compared to her other recent albums, made up of lulling acoustic songs about the curves of love, loss, and self-acceptance as they appear through her eyes.
