We’re hearing about her everywhere. She collaborated with Icona Pop on “I Love It” (which we became obsessed with after seeing it featured on that episode of Girls…you know the one we mean…). She has opened for Coldplay. She’s just finished up a handful of shows at South by Southwest, and now she’s gearing up…
“Cash, Diamond Rings, Swimming Pools.” It’s catchy. It’s fun. It’s been stuck in my head for about three weeks. I got the chance to catch up with D E N A, Bulgarian (Berlin-based) vocalist/songwriter/pop/hip hop artist/badass at South by Southwest for a quick chat. Before we got to the official interview, we met up at…
So I just got to chill backstage at Tabernacle in Atlanta with Jeph Howard from The Used. Jealous? Don’t fret. I filmed our little hang out session for you, so you get to listen to us talk about the evolution of The Used, the Take Action Tour, and what’s next for the band. Have at…
Diarrhea Planet came to the Caledonia Lounge in Athens. I got to hang out in the “backstage” van area with them. We’re bros now. Watch us talk about their sound, their goals, the right way to be a rockstar, and magic…among other things. Enjoy. Tweet #vinylmag
Here’s the deal. Cursive is wonderful. But you should already know that. I’ve been wanting to interview them since the launch of Vinyl, and finally…the stars have aligned, the fates have smiled upon me, and I got the chance to chat on the phone with bassist Matt Maginn (thank you, Samantha Gilder). And now you…
So…blink-182 has come out with a new song, “Boxing Day,” off of their new holiday EP, Dogs Eating Dogs. Always exciting news for me when there is a new blink song. That being said, the song is pretty mundane. Not bad…just kind of forgettable. It’s a song to drive and not pay attention to. A…
Everyone should know Pinback. They’re kind of a big deal. Based in San Diego, California, the band is essentially made up of Zach Smith and Rob Crow. They recently released their fifth full-length studio album, Information Retrieved and are currently on a US tour. I got the chance to grab a few minutes of phone…
Got to hang out backstage with Nate Brenner (you may know him as the bassist for tUnE-yArDs) to talk about his solo project, Naytronix and his first tour on his own. The band is opening for WHY? on this US tour and plans to continue touring. Definitely should not be missed. While you’re buying your…
Hanging out in the practice room with Athens-based Tumbleweed Stampede. If you don’t know these guys, you should really learn how to use the internet and look them up. In the meantime, enjoy the interview- these gents are lovely. Also be sure to check out their show tonight at the 40 Watt if you’re in/next…
The Album Leaf just came to the Georgia Theatre (if you’re from Athens and you didn’t go, just…seriously?) on their tour with Tycho. And guess who got to interview them? Damn straight. Me. And it was awesome. This was another big one for me. I have been a mad fan of TAL since some forgotten-but-much-appreciated…
