Hulaween 2014: Art Director Andy Carroll x Vinyl Mag
Adorned with Spanish moss-draped oak trees and nestled on the shady banks of the black Suwannee River, The Spirit of Suwannee Music Park is naturally the ideal setting for a Halloween weekend extravaganza. This year, the 800-acre venue will once again transform into a festive playground for the Second Annual Suwanee Hulaween. Last year, the…
New Found Glory x Vinyl Mag
“We’re not in a band to record records; we’re in a band to do the music we love over and over and over again.” In music, persistence is one of the most valuable characteristics of a successful career; take a look at New Found Glory, the American “godfathers of punk rock,” and members that can…
Murder By Death x Vinyl Mag
Murder By Death is a genre-defying, whiskey-soaked five-piece originally from Bloomingon, Indiana. They’ve graced us with six full-length albums and are gearing up to release a seventh (hu-freaking-zzah). I got a little phone time with Adam Turla (vocals, guitar) recently to talk about the album, as well as their upcoming tour dates (below – Athens readers,…
Monsoon x Vinyl Mag
In a music town like Athens, GA, with an endless spread of bands accessible for your listening – and viewing – pleasure, it’s rare to find one that can distinguish itself from the pack. What’s even rarer is doing it before the members even graduate from high school! Monsoon has done just that. Started by Sienna Chandler…
Diarrhea Planet x Vinyl Video
Errbody knows that we at Vinyl Mag have love for Diarrhea Planet. I personally have vowed never to miss a show when they come around, seeing as how we’ve already established that they are the best live band you’ll ever see. The boys recently stopped by the Masquerade in Atlanta, GA and, since it’s been…
Aaron Behrens x Vinyl Mag
Previously known for his role as frontman of Ghostland Observatory, Aaron Behrens, makes his debut as a solo artist with his new project, Aaron Behrens and the Midnight Stroll. Behrens new project features a style but elicits the same amount of energy and passion devoted listeners craved from Ghostland Observatory. Along with a new album, Behrens…
Catskill Chill 2014: Vinyl Mag x Mister F
Although summer is quickly winding down, we are still amping up for some great music festivals coming up in September. In it’s fifth year, Catskill Chill Music Festival boasts an extensive lineup including the likes of Yonder Mountain String Band, The New Deal, Lettuce, Shpongle, and many, many others. Included in this year’s festival is…
Warped Tour 2014: K. Flay x Vinyl Mag
When you think “female rapper,” I’m sure you think of women along the lines of Iggy Azalea and Nicki Minaj. What you might not think of is a brown haired, punk rock chick with well-refined music tastes who has been performing on Vans Warped Tour for the last few months. Up and coming rap artist…
AthFest 2014: Stokeswood x Vinyl Mag
Imagine a group like Young The Giant on 80’s dance steroids. That’s kind of what comes to mind when I try to describe the incredible and unique sound of five-piece Atlanta rock group Stokeswood. I had the opportunity to sit down with the guys before their set this weekend at AthFest, and let me tell…
Athfest 2014: Powerkompany x Vinyl Mag
I got the chance to talk to Athens’ own Powerkompany during Saturday night’s portion of Athfest. Guitarist/vocalist Marie Davon (Venice is Sinking) and guitarist/violinist Andrew Heaton (Packway Handle Band) sat down with me after their show at the World Famous to talk about the bands’ dynamic, where they’d like to see Powerkompany going, and their love…
