Colby Pines

Hailing from 'The Good Life City' of Albany, Georgia, Colby Pines is the middle child of five boys. While his family is primarily comprised of men, the Pines family did have a female dog once... unfortunately she died... God bless his poor mother. When Mr. Pines was in third grade the doctors discovered that he had an extra bone in his knee. The bone did not possess any magical powers or help Colby run faster/jump higher, so the doctors surgically removed the bone and refused to let Colby keep it as a souvenir. Colby recently graduated from the University of Georgia with a Bachelor's degree in English and a Master's degree in having cool friends and wearing great sweaters. Colby studied abroad at Oxford University's Trinity College where he was able to visit three of the four coasts, but was not able to bring back a baby with a British accent. Colby enjoys going to the movies, scotch, traveling, playing folk music with his band, BirdHead, eating good and bad food, writing, dabbling, playing Fantasy Football with his Pigskinz and Sundee Beerz League, reading a great book, and all sorts of music. While Colby has a bit of a bipolar taste in music, some of his favorite bands include: Band of Horses, Death Cab for Cutie, 2pac, Washed Out, Johnny Cash, Childish Gambino, Local Natives, The Beatles, Danny Brown, and Beach House. Colby is currently single and quite possibly ready to mingle. Colby has broken five bones, saved two children from drowning, been to Canada twice, and almost fallen into The Grand Canyon once. While he tends to miss things like Breaking Bad, eighth grade, Hey Arnold!, and Surge soda, Colby's excited for the future where he hopes to continue writing and doing the things that he loves.

Posted on March 7, 2014March 7, 2014 by Colby Pines

Michael Chugg has been called many things. Some of his most flattering titles portray him as a pioneer in the Australian music industry. He is admired, loathed, feared, and respected. One thing Chugg cannot be called is boring. As Executive Chairman for Chugg Entertainment, he has toured such acts as Elton John, Keith Urban, Jason…

A Review of Inside Llewyn Davis with as few spoilers as possible…basically none.

Posted on February 3, 2014January 31, 2014 by Colby Pines

If it’s true that no man is an island, then the Coen brothers have at the very least created a small, compact archipelago in their latest character, Llewyn Davis. The most recent Coen brothers venture, Inside Llewyn Davis, finds them tackling the pre-Bob Dylan, Greenwich Village folk scene circa 1961. Thanks in large to breathtaking…

We recently got the opportunity to chat with indie rock band Static Jacks about their new album, In Blue (not to mention, we got an exclusive premiere of b-side “Teenage Shakes”). While the New Jersey rockers have been holding it down since 2009 when their EP, Laces, first dropped, their sophomore album marks the first record they’ve…

The Written Years: ‘The Written Years’

Posted on January 27, 2014January 27, 2014 by Colby Pines

I recently got a sneak peak (or listen, rather) at The Written Years’ self-titled debut album set to be released on January 28th. With a sound that lands somewhere between Snow Patrol and The National with a hint of Bright Eyes, The Written Years is an album with an infectious sound. The self-titled project tackles…

Talking Tunes with RAWards Brooklyn 2013 Winner Amplicity

Posted on December 27, 2013December 29, 2013 by Colby Pines

I recently got the chance to speak with Electronic Musician/Producer Amplicity. Known for his downtempo, melody-driven tracks, Amplicity was named Musician of the Year at the 2013 RAWards in Brooklyn, New York (yeah, he’s pretty legit). While the Pennsylvania native stays busy tracking tunes, producing with his friends at Highline Sounds and working as a…

A Roadside Chat with The Grahams

Posted on December 10, 2013December 11, 2013 by Colby Pines

Pulled over on the side of a dirt road somewhere south of the Georgia gnat line, I got the chance to speak with Alyssa and Doug Graham of NYC-based Americana band The Grahams (yes, they are a couple. Yes, we find that to be pretty awesome). While this situation may scream of poor planning, I…

Justin Townes Earle at The Melting Point

Posted on December 9, 2013December 10, 2013 by Colby Pines

There’s just something about Americana music that’s endearing. Maybe it’s the people who play it. Maybe it’s the music itself. Or quite possibly it’s a combination of the two that reminds us of the humble, determined spirit that comprises the culture of both America past and America present. This was certainly the case when Justin…

Sleigh Bells at Georgia Theatre

Posted on November 7, 2013November 7, 2013 by Colby Pines

What do you get when you mix heavy metal, hip-hop, punk, pop, and electronica? The incredible juxtaposition that composes Sleigh Bells, of course. Since releasing their debut album, Treats, in 2010, Sleigh Bells has continually captivated concertgoers with their crunchy guitar leads and sugary vocals. But those of us who were fortunate enough to be…
