Gringo Star‘s formula ain’t hard to figure out, nor is it foreign to fans of the stellar garage rock that’s been pouring out of the Atlanta, GA area for the past several years. Helmed by the Furgiuele brothers — Nick and Peter – Gringo Star plays fun-loving, to-the-point tunes that find them in good company with other recent site favorites like fellow Atlantans The Coathangers and the West Coasters Night Beats. This late-night set at Mercury Lounge proved to be the kind of free-for-all you might expect, with the band as ringleaders. Their latest album, Floating Out to See, finds them in a slightly mellower, more textured mode on the LP, but in the tight confines of Mercury it all came out pure party music. I can only hope the after party was as much of a scorcher as this set. LISTEN HERE…

Glide Magazine calls Sara Rachele’s new album, Diamond Street, “a timeless, vibrant rock & roll statement.” Check out the world premiere of her new song “Appalachian Rain”
NYC/Atlanta based Sara Rachele will be releasing her debut album Diamond Street on September 2nd. Recorded in her hometown of Atlanta, Diamond Street is a live-to-tape LP—produced by Kristofer Sampson (B-52s, Balkans, Coathangers). The LP was recorded in just two days, and captures the East Village nightlife of a young songwriter in a timeless, vibrant rock ’n’ roll statement.
On recording with producer Sampson (who plays in New West Records band Ponderosa), Rachele says, “Kris really challenged me on this album. Even though we were working quickly, he had patience with the songs, and he took the sound to a new place for me without it seeming disingenuous.”
In addition to producer Sampson, Diamond Street features the musical contributions of budding folk hound J. Thomas Hall (New West imprint Normaltown Records) as well as a cast of Atlanta-based heavy hitters including Lightnin’ Ray Jackson (Washed Out, Gringo Star), Spencer Pope (Ocha La Rocha), Spencer Garn (Ruby Velle & the Soulphonics) and Snowden’s Chandler Rentz. Diamond Street represents the gorgeous clash of Rachele’s folk-centric upbringing and her beat rock & roll adventures in New York City. With five years of stories under her belt, she has created a moody musical pulp, resounding with smoky memories of ambling city nights. LISTEN HERE…
Under the Gun premieres Pillage & Plunder’s debut video from their new LP
Under The Gun Review is excited to be teaming up with cabaret rock act Pillage & Plunder to bring you the band’s brand new music video for “I Will Drink the Ocean When I Go There.”
Portrayed as a talent parody show calledAtlanta’s Got Talent, the band cleverly mocks what one might find if tuning into such a ridiculous program. The song is diverse and fun — the type of track we’ve come to expect from a band that flirts with punk, jazz and swing music in any given song. WATCH HERE…

Entertainment Weekly premieres Brooklynn’s “Wild Game” saying she “sounds like Emotional Rescue-era Stones fronted by Donna Summer.”
Despite what her name might suggest, the pop singer Brooklynn is based out of Atlanta, where she’s been developing a musical identity that pulls from a respectably diverse range of influences—Johnny Cash, Madonna, Guns N’ Roses, and Howlin’ Wolf among them. Working with Lady Gaga’s former musical director, Nico Constantine, she’s recorded an EP that comes out later this fall. It features one song, “Wild Game,” that sounds like Emotional Rescue-era Stones fronted by Donna Summer, which is a pretty seriously great thing to sound like. LISTEN HERE…
City Tribe drops another introspective cloud-shrouded beach-pop anthem at PopMatters
The most popular indie rock of recent years, from the psychedelic washes of Tame Impala to the sunny vocal harmonies of Fleet Foxes, has always found the most comfort in the warm rays of summer heat. Joining groups such as these is the San Francisco-based City Tribe, who with its latest tune, “Silver Lining”, balances melancholy subject matter with music that would find a fitting home at the sands of a beach.
Regarding the tune, singer and guitarist Jacob Jones says to PopMatters, “‘Silver Lining’ is a semi-autobiographical tune about hope and love. It’s about the trials you face as a young couple, which can be extremely difficult, emotionally and financially, especially in an expensive and fast-paced city like San Francisco. There are a million distractions and challenges, and sometimes it’s hard to see things clearly. Money—or lack thereof—can make things tense, but you can almost always work through it when there’s a strong foundation of love, and a partner who will do anything for you.” LISTEN HERE…
