NO EARPLUGS

We're listening

Gustaf Bring Urgency to Atlanta

By No Earplugs on May 18, 2024 • ( Leave a comment )

Call Gustaf what you will: art-punk, post-punk, no-wave…there’s no one out there sounding like this. Gammill exudes a Harley-Quinn-meets-Emma-Stone vibe from which you cannot look away.

SHAKY KNEES 2024

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.

Isbell is Saving the World (one show at a time)

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.

Shaw Evolves with False Corners

By No Earplugs on January 26, 2024 • ( Leave a comment )

Imagine a songwriter pairing with four vocalists who bring their unique styles and personalities, creating a sort of Myers-Briggs personality types set of songs. This would be that.

Trizo 50 Celebrate Demo’s 50th

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

The band never really got off the ground outside of the small farming community of Norborne, Missouri about an hour east of Kansas City, but what a story DePugh weaves.

Gonzalez Smith Roll Up Solid Debut

By No Earplugs on October 17, 2023 • ( 2 Comments )

“She’s My Girl” is a gem of a tune and definitely the antithesis of a DBT song, a prototypical, straightforward power pop gem, reminiscent of The Beatles’ “From Me To You.”

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.
