ATLANTA – On Thursday, April 21 the W Atlanta – Midtown hosted an exciting musical performance for hotel guests and the public alike. Taboo, the Grammy-nominated musician from the pop group Black Eyed Peas, hosted a listening session and live performance of his newest album, Magnificent.
The event was held in partnership with the American Cancer Society, which Taboo serves as a global ambassador for helping to combat cancer through prevention, healthy living, and screening.   With the American Cancer Society headquartered in Atlanta, this was a special hometown performance showing Taboo’s commitment to growing the partnership while educating himself and others along the way.
In addition to Magnificent, Taboo is producing new music and is set to release a series of singles this year. Being a Native/Mexican American, he is releasing a record for the Latin community in time for summer. Always collaborating, inspiring, and being inspired by others, Taboo is partnering with the Atlanta Music Project as part of his commitment to music education. He will be presenting the youth in the music program with a master class about leadership, discipline, and healthy living as keys to success. The master class is based on his book entitled Falling Up.
The W Atlanta – Midtown experience served as an opportunity to connect with partners and friends in the industry, raise awareness for charitable causes that Taboo is passionate about, as well as showcase new music.

The Difference Machine teams up with Paten Locke for 'It's Alive'


The Difference Machine
has unveiled the first single from its upcoming sophomore LP, The 4th Side of the Eternal Triangle. Fittingly, the song is titled "It's Alive," and its blissfully bombastic style serve as a wake up call to those still sleeping on Atlanta's psych-infused hip-hop powerhouse. 

"It's Alive" revs up with a cacophony of live drums courtesy of Radley Fricker. The transition from sampled to studio percussion is a new addition to The Difference Machine's recorded palette, but Fricker's maximalist drumming has been apart of the group's live set-up since 2013.…

Bataille unleashes 'How Innocent' and 'Grave of Vampires'

Noise/anti-punk act Bataille has finally made videos for two tracks from last year's cassette, The Wolves Amongst The Flower.

"How Innocent," the first proper song on The Wolves Amongst the Flower cassette follows a few Baptist snake charmers and a rather eccentric congregation possessed by dance and ritualistic celebration. The old black-and-white clips have been spliced together to highlight the manic fanaticism of an honest-to-God Southern church revival.…

Withered returns with the genre-melding 'Grief Relic'


Grief Relic (out May 27 via Season of Mist), the first album in six years from death-doom metal veterans Withered, opens with a low-pitched choke of breath before 40 minutes of gnashing, asphyxiating savagery. The quartet — Atlanta natives Mike Thompson (guitar-vocals) and Beau Brandon (drums), augmented by bass player Colin Marston (of Gorguts/Krallice), and vocalist-guitarist Ethan McCarthy (from Primitive Man) — threads masochistic tremolo picking into blast-beat drumming and prog-tinged, dread-thickened riffs.…
