  3. This past weekend: MS MR and Xylos at Glasslands MS MR is somewhat of a mysterious new band. They seem to have just emerged from the Internet, using the most random web images they could find in their media, and labeling themselves as “Tumblr Glitch Pop, Soul Fuzz, Electroshock”...

  1. Divine Fits – A Thing Called Divine Fits I’m not even going to bother going into the “supergroup” thing (oops) and instead recognize that Divine Fits is a well-balanced band comprised of dudes that have their own successful projects, and who combined the best aspects into something of...
  2. Artist of the Week: Alabama Shakes Over the past 18 months, you’d be hard-pressed to find a group that’s exploded onto the music scene as fast as the Alabama Shakes. Hailing from Athens of their namesake state, the Brittney Howard-fronted outfit has gone from playing small...
