By No Earplugs on May 5, 2024 • ( Leave a comment )

The mass of humanity crowding the mainstage proves Shaky Knees has become a major contender in the music festival competition around the country.

ANTMUSIC in the ATL

By No Earplugs on April 14, 2024 • ( Leave a comment )

Asking his fans to, “Unplug the jukebox and do us all a favor,” Ant was clearly a beneficiary of lots of love and some serious cash flow at the merch table.

Madonna Ups Her Diva Status in Atlanta

By No Earplugs on April 1, 2024 • ( Leave a comment )

Madge can be extolled for her longstanding support of the LGBTQ+ community. An entire act was dedicated to the AIDS epidemic of the 1980s with hundreds of floating pictures showcasing those affected by the virus.

By No Earplugs on March 30, 2024 • ( Leave a comment )

Known for his outspoken views on politics and simply being a decent person, Isbell shined on “Save the World.” The song delves into the Uvalde school shooting and parents’ life mission to keep our children safe.

Strangers In A Strange Land Take Action

By No Earplugs on October 2, 2023 • ( Leave a comment )

The band masters a 60s feel but succeeds in a 21st century sound, wonderfully produced. They simultaneously straddle the 20th and 21st centuries with no smoke or mirrors to be found.

Strangers In A Strange Land Drop Sharp New Single

By No Earplugs on September 1, 2023 • ( 1 Comment )

The psychedelic popness on the single is evident and there are hooks aplenty. Make no mistake, this is no throwback sound, but a relevant 21st rock song.

The National Tour With Frankenstein

Berninger did acknowledge the band’s sadness as this was the final night touring with The Beths. He told fans, “We love The Beths and will miss touring with them.”
