NO EARPLUGS

We're listening

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

By No Earplugs on August 16, 2023 • ( Leave a comment )

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.”

A Homecoming (of Sorts) for The Baseball Project

By No Earplugs on August 9, 2023 • ( Leave a comment )

Intertwined with favorites from the first three albums were some ringers from the new release. The band has evolved in so many ways on Salami! and prove to be at their rocking best live on stage.

Brothers and Sisters Celebrated

By No Earplugs on July 28, 2023 • ( Leave a comment )

No other band from that era created such a cross-cultural identity, and a successful one at that. The Allman Brothers’ sound resonated with a nation working through and healing from the Vietnam War, the Civil Rights Movement, and a country in crisis.

John Fogerty Takes Victory Lap

By No Earplugs on July 26, 2023 • ( Leave a comment )

So many of Fogerty’s songs have been permanently woven into the fabric of American culture. Even the casual music fan most likely knows a majority of these CCR/Fogerty tunes.

Tami Neilson is the King of Country Music

By No Earplugs on July 22, 2023 • ( Leave a comment )

She began her career in the Neilson Family Band, was famously cradled by Roy Orbison, sang with Kitty Wells at 10, and opened for Johnny Cash at 18.

Little Feat Boogie into Atlanta

By No Earplugs on July 12, 2023 • ( Leave a comment )

The group moved through an eclectic and wonderful set of musical history, some of which helped to define the Southern Rock sound, a.k.a. bluesy country rock, if you will.

Dennis Davison’s New EP is Scary Good

By No Earplugs on June 30, 2023 • ( 1 Comment )

This new 5-song EP sees the singer evolving and perfecting his songwriting. Davison was clearly born late, as he embodies a sixties sound while creating relevant, 21st century vibes.

The Cure Bring Lost World to Atlanta

By No Earplugs on June 27, 2023 • ( Leave a comment )

The band was perfection and Smith’s voice remains strong. At 64, he can still pelt it out with the best of them. The two hours and a half, 29-song show is common for a Cure concert.

Noel Gallagher Finds Fertile Ground From the 90s

By No Earplugs on June 24, 2023 • ( Leave a comment )

Gallagher knows the power and the glory of the Oasis catalog. That’s why he’s still around. What he must not realize is that his fans are quite fond of the new Council Skies.
