Madonna at Philips Arena: Better late than never



For more than 30 years, Madonna has been known to change up her style of music, dress, video, and overall creative direction whenever she damn well pleases.

The Gizmos and Real Kids to headline the Atlanta Mess-Around

Goldyard goes back to their roots with 'Hmm' video


If you were wondering where Goldyard has been in 2016, look no further than the new visual for their track, "Hmmm." Since dropping last year's Fuck Culture 2, the trio of A.T., In-Doe, and Flick James have been putting the finishing touches on that project's follow-up, Fuck Culture 3.

"Hmmm (Clap for your Heartbeat)" is vintage Goldyard, featuring MC's In-Doe and A.T. showcasing their lyrical dexterity as they mob through streets and different haunts in ATL. "It's us getting back to the roots of what Goldyard is about," In-Doe says.…

Julien Baker's cautious optimism

Julien Baker recorded her debut 'Sprained Ankle' at the age of 19, and her sparse guitar work combined with brutally honest lyricism reflects a maturity outpacing her years. Julien Baker didn't think anyone other than a few friends and family members would ever hear the frail songs she wrote in the quiet of her Middle Tennessee State University dorm room. But the songs — obsessed with the visceral consequences of depression and addiction — became the 20-year-old guitarist's debut record that wound up on countless 2015 year-end lists.…

ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons flies solo

ZZ Top guitarist’s solo project adds Latin flavor to his familiar blues-rock palette. Billy Gibbons' six-string blues riffs, gruff voice, and flowing beard have defined the legend of ZZ Top for more than four decades, casting him as a hard rock icon. Gibbons expanded his musical palette last November with the release of Perfectamundo, a solo debut album that blends his familiar Tex-Mex rock 'n' roll with the Afro-Cuban rhythms he studied as a teenager.…

The tactile world of Teebs

Teebs, aka Mtendere Mandowa, has spent a career defining his own influential sound informed by his background as a visual artist. The music of Mtendere Mandowa, better known as Teebs, hinges on the same skittering rhythms threaded throughout Los Angeles' influential beat scene, but the subtle layers in his songwriting give his music a vivid mood. Layers of static and warped textures wrap around Teebs' beats, creating a visceral world in which stray eardrums find plenty of room to roam around.…
