“King Richard’s Sunday Best is not a very good band. Sure, when Atlanta-based musicians Evan Tyor and Luke McGinnis teamed up to form this ludicrously christened duo, they were told by their girlfriends and numerous family members that they were excellent. The phrases “that sounds nice”, and “wonderful potential!” were even thrown around. In reality, their music is full of tacky, confusing chord progressions, and annoyingly poetic lyrics. Add cellist Simon Reiter to the mix, and it becomes even worse. I mean seriously, who likes the cello? Ok, so, it is rather interesting to see 9 or so instruments being played by 4 people… And yes, they play covers of your favorite songs, with beautiful harmonies and original instrumentation. Fine, they also write really catchy songs. But if you hear King Richard’s Sunday Best and consider it good music, you need to reconsider your taste. You probably also like The Beatles. Get a life.” – from their facebook. Check it out.

The above opinion is not the opinion of WUOG. We like this band (we also probably like The Beatles).

Pocketful of Claptonite is Athens GA’s only ’70s Canadian Power Trio.

Seriously, we jammed tonight. These boys are an excellent nonvocal trio from the Classic City that you would probably like. Listen.

“Eureka California is a local indie band influenced by American indie that sounds like British indie influenced by American indie. Also, it rocks.” – Flagpole

We have a ginger set of twins in our lobby tonight. These sweet little ladies are keeping up this week’s trend of banjos and American flag clothes (cowboy boots). So tune in for some harmonious acoustic tunes accompanied by occasional trumpet. You should check out their myspace, facebook or bandcamp to listen to some gentle americana.

Inside a single song the music can move from country ramble to explosive rock, grooving together within the warm embrace of pop sensibility.

Sam Sniper’s debut album, We’re Not Coming Back This Way, is the culmination of a yearlong self-produced self-recorded effort by members Andrew Klein and Chris Barnett. Drawing on songs written collaboratively by the two, We’re Not Coming Back This Way deals with love, heartbreak, purpose, and intergalactic jungle warfare. If you dig it – check out their facebook or bandcamp?
