Heavy rockers All the Saints are staples of the Atlanta scene at this point, having released their first album over a decade ago. Several of these acts also share members with neighboring Athens, a legendary music city that should have a list all its own.
It’s also one of the largest cities in the South with an especially healthy music community, so while we couldn’t get to all the bands we love, we hope you enjoy this sampler, which includes both young, on-the-rise bands and longtime local favorites (but not fully established exports like Deerhunter, Black Lips, etc.). This is a special edition of our ongoing city series (which has in the past featured places like Chicago, Philadelphia and Memphis) because Atlanta is home to the Paste HQ. We took a deep dive into the indie scene, which is bursting with young acts making rock, experimental, pop, metal and just about everything else you can think of. It’s the hip-hop capital of the world, after all, but there are also pockets of thriving scenes all over the city ranging in genre.
It’s no secret Atlanta is one of the best music cities in the country. Wander out on any given night, and you’re bound to find live music somewhere, be it a touring folk act at Eddie’s Attic, a hip new indie band in East Atlanta or an old favorite at Variety Playhouse. The same could be said of our music scene. No matter what time of year it is, there’s almost always a team to root for. We always believe in our teams, whether they’re World Series-bound in ’95 or succumbing to the Rockets in yet another losing season in 2018.
If you’re a longtime resident and/or sports fan of the Georgia capital, you’re probably accustomed to your teams losing (except United-Unite and Conquer!). Atlanta is home to the Braves, Hawks and Falcons.
