Often chaotic and always experimental, Untied States has a sound that straddles the line between abstract and explicit, creating a sort of art-rock that emerges far from the current crowded Atlanta scene. Though they maintain a slight semblence of structure, Untied States often scatters its efforts throughout chords and progressions that are built not only [...]
Fiery Furnaces are chaotically interesting, their music often traveling down a path you’d never see coming. And that’s the fun of it. While the rest of the industry seems happy to slip into their own indie genre, Fiery Furnaces seem intent on sidestepping any sort of standard style, with their sound crossing lines in such [...]

Since their inception, Batata Doce has never been easy to pin down, as they seem to draw influence from a variety of sources, creating a sound completely their own. Light and fun yet technically savvy, their music blends punk and garage with something a bit Latin, playing perfectly with Brazilian-born vocalist Leticia Arioli’s strong and [...]
There are a number of online marketing offers of kits that will convert your car to run on water, but these should be viewed skeptically. These kits, which attach to the car’s engine, use electrolysis to split the water into its component molecules – hydrogen and oxygen – and then inject the [...]

Crescent Street Films interviewed the Black Lips Friday, February 27, at Atlanta’s Variety Playhouse as promotion for their recently released album, 200 Million Thousand.
What we really love about this piece is that you see the Black Lips in a different light,” Paras Chaudhari said. “Most often, the Black Lips are seen on [...]
Who says you have to have a guitar to make some noise? Punk-leaning Double Dagger — Nolen Strals (vocals), Bruce Willen (bass) and Denny Bowen (drums) – have successfully skipped the six strings for their seven-year span, instead opting for the more stripped down line-up, one that has successfully set them apart from the usual [...]
It is true that trace amounts of birth control and other medications—as well as household and industrial chemicals of every stripe—are present in many urban and suburban water supplies around the country, but there is considerable debate about whether their levels are high enough to warrant concern.
In 2008 the U.S. Geological [...]

As a nostalgic lover of pre “emo” distortion driven rock music I have a few things to say about the Pains of Being Pure at Heart’s recent show at the EARL.

A team of health and climate scientists from the World Health Organization (WHO) and the University of Wisconsin at [...]
Seven years ago my sister Cheryl moved to Nicaragua. She had been threatening to do it for two years before that, but it’s hard to take someone seriously when they threaten to move to a third-world country even though they are not escaping a homicide charge or anything. Instead, she was a fairly law-abiding cocktail [...]
We love Aaron McKinney’s work. It’s strange but in a compelling manner that immediately captures your attention, and is intelligent enough to keep it for some time. We first became aquainted with McKinney after he did a few illustrations for us a couple years back. We were immediately impressed. His scope was wide, his skill [...]
