SXSW 2010: Bad Sports Channel Ramones, Jay Reatard

Real talk: I ended up seeing a lot of white guys playing loud guitars yesterday. But the most exciting band of that pastey, distorted ilk—which is saying something, since I also caught excellent sets from Titus Andronicus and new Sub Pop signees Male Bonding—was Bad Sports. The Denton, Texas trio plays melodic garage punk for fans of Jay Reatard and Exploding Hearts, and onstage, the songs pop even more than they do on their self-titled debut LP, which was released late last year....  read more

[Above: NOBUNNY plays the second night of the Atlanta Mess-Around.] Like Day One of the Mess-Around, Day Two got off to an unusually early start for the Earl. But despite numerous warnings the previous evening that Saturday's festivities would get underway promptly at half past eight, the crowd was still unfortunately thin as Oxford, Mississippi's The Black and Whites kicked off the festival's second, poppier night....  read more

Live Photos & Review: Atlanta Mess-Around, Day 1 (Blade II, Carbonas, Baby Shakes and more) @ The Earl 11/14/08

[Above: Baby Shakes play the first night of the Atlanta Mess-Around.]Though the three Atlanta labels behind the two-day Atlanta Mess-Around have released a diverse array of music, their punk and power pop offerings have evolved into the unquestionable centerpieces of the scene, as evidenced by the Mess-Around's line-ups: The second night would boast a strong pop sensibility, but the first was almost all about punk rock. ...  read more

The Black and Whites tour, Mess Around

"I need a good girl," go the very first words of The Black and Whites self-titled debut, "one who will not make out with her friends." It's a not-very-rock-'n'-roll sentiment from a quintessentially rock 'n' roll band, one that seems to pull equal influence from the poppiest moments of bands like Weezer and Guided by Voices and the punkiest moments of bands like the Ramones and Black Flag. Some of their songs are fast, some of them are slower. Many of them, such as "That Girl Ain't No Good," are about the ladies. ...  read more
