STREAM: He Is We – “Georgia”

February 15th, 2013

Dayton O'Connor

Singer-songwriter outfit He Is We had a little surprise for some of their fans on February 13th – a new song.

“Here is your surprise!!! Introducing our new song “Georgia” accompanied by all of you beautiful faces!” read the caption at the beginning of the clip premiering He Is We’s new song. Indeed, the photo-album accompanying “Georgia” is cutesy, saccharine ooey-gooey sweetness, replete with pictures of lovey-dovey couples generally in some sort of state of embrace. Yep, just when you think you’ve escaped Valentine’s Day’s velvety clutches, it pounces.

So TRIGGER WARNING: for those of you who can stand a …

MUSIC HISTORY CLASS: The Birth of R.E.M.

April 19th, 2012

Michael Meeze

On this day in 1980, alternative rock visionaries R.E.M., played their first official concert at the 11:11 Koffee Club in Athens, Georgia. A paltry 150 fans attended the show. Yet, their inner rock-rebelliousness showed even early: the police shut down the quartet’s set at 2am. The Koffee Club show would be the start of a thirty-one year career which would find R.E.M. reaching heights no one ever imagined.

Formed in January 1980 in the southern bell city of Athens, Georgia, R.E.M. would go on to release fifteen records and sell over 86 million albums worldwide. Their biggest hits include …

REVIEW: Mastodon – The Hunter

September 7th, 2011

Jordan Munson

Artist: Mastodon
Album: The Hunter
Genre: Metal
Label: Reprise

Mastodon. Undeniably one of the best metal bands of the 2000s so far. The band released a whole bunch of critically acclaimed albums in a bunch of different metal styles and never making the same album twice–truly an admirable effort for a band of such stature. Luckily for them, they’ve not had any career or style missteps that resulted in a major schism in their fanbase (though Crack The Skye easily could have been just that). This time around they’ve changed their style once again, as The Hunter isn’t really that …
