Atlanta-based alternative country band Quaildogs are gearing up for the release of their debut LP, The Getting Old Factory, which is due out Sept. 15. In anticipation of next week’s release, Under The Gun has the exclusive stream of a compelling track off the record — “Reunion.” READ MORE…
Quaildogs breathe life into a distinctive brand of alt-country that recalls the genre’s heyday as a potent ’90s niche, while at the same time reveling in classic, freewheeling rock & roll. Having managed to keep together a steady and unfaltering six-piece lineup since their 2011 inception, the band has developed a unique camaraderie and sound that has earned them opening slots for a diverse set of acts including The Handsome Family, Futurebirds, The Wood Brothers, Moon Taxi, Roadkill Ghost Choir and the Dirty Dozen Brass Band—and all this before having released a proper full-length debut.

Atlanta’s Sydney Eloise & The Palms are gearing up for the release of their debut full-length Face,a collection of 12 songs written over the course of four years. In anticipation of the release, the band has shared album track “Gentleman.”
“I kept this one in my back pocket for a while—actually wrote it three years ago when I was in Las Vegas,” says Eloise. “It was the last night of the trip and the song came to me like a hurricane. I remember feeling like I’d found my authentic self and I was finally ready to talk. It all came together in 20 minutes, and I felt this sense of release I’ve only felt a handful of times while writing.” READ MORE…
Quaildogs, with a lineup unchanged since 2011 and yet no debut record, are set to release their first LP next month. Check out our premiere of “The Wedding Song” off their upcoming album, The Getting Old Factory, and some words from the band about the track:
“Close to the end of recording The Getting Old Factory, we decided we wanted something smaller and more intimate—something to offset the album’s bigger moments. Also, we’re in our late 20s, and weddings have become a big part of our lives. Every summer, we all have to go stand up there a few times, we have to wear something ugly that someone else picked out, and then go get drunk afterwards. The best weddings, you can really feel the love, and sometimes the excess ends up at your feet when least expect it.” READ MORE…
It’s been three years since SEX BBQ showed their penchant for boisterous rock and roll with their debut single “Locus of Control.” Now they are back with their first album, Sex Noir City, and are picking up right where they left off.
Although singer/guitarist Kate Jan and guitarist Steve LaBate initially wanted to form a surf punk band in the vein of former Atlanta stalwarts Ghost Bikini, their talents soon pushed them beyond such a limiting genre. While the surf punk elements are still audible on the album, they are covered with layer after layer of bold instrumental choices. In the world of SEX BBQ, creepy psychedelia meets galloping spaghetti western beats, pulling the listener into a world where the sun set long ago. READ MORE…
