RAGIN' REVIEW: Major & The Monbacks

"The Monbacks’ distinct brew of rock & roll spans across geographic locations, as well as generations. The band’s influences shine through in its songs and grab hold of listeners. Known for their raucous stage presence and uncanny ability to keep dancefloors on their feet, the Monbacks’ debut full length album attempts to capture the essence of what makes us all move and groove."

JUST ANNOUNCED: Agori Tribe at Rhythm & Brews

Shabti will be headlining the shindig at Rhythm & Brews, and our good friend Gable Larramore will be bringing Blueshift Optical Productions' exceptional lightshow to the mix. Check out full details on the Facebook event HERE.

RAGIN' REVIEW: The Main Squeeze - B.B. King's Blues Club

"...in a modern live music scene that seems to lack the classic “frontman” on vocals that was so prevalent in rock & roll throughout the 1960s, ‘70s and ‘80s, The Main Squeeze thrives on Corey Frye’s epic voice, which allows the rest of the members to focus on the instrumentals. The resulting powerhouse of musical expertise allows for a combination of Western genres that forms the ultimate dance party."

RAGIN' REVIEW: Sumilan - En Transit

Atlanta based, but Athens born, Sumilan has released a strong new album En Transit. The album is extremely powerful, a quality I attempted to parallel in my writing of the review. I sincerely hope that I was successful, but I doubt it. Enjoy my review on Live Music Daily via the link below!
