We play music because that's what we love doing. We play fun, memorable shows in fun, cool places. We're releasing a cd soon, we're working on a soundtrack to the Elysian Chronicles (a book trilogy by M.B. Weston), and we're working on a disc album for release in June.
Defined by a unique style of music and reaching a wide audience, the edison project is a pop heavy, groove rock band from Augusta, GA that has made their mark on the southeast music scene. In 2005 & 2006 the edison project was voted Best Rock Band in Augusta by the readers of The Augusta Magazine and earned the opening slot at the hugely successful Drive For Show, Rock Fore! Dough concert Masters Week, where the band began the show featuring Collective Soul and Hootie & the Blowfish. The band sites its influences from a wide range of artists, including Wilco, Ryan Adams, Coldplay, Third Eye Blind, Weezer, Jimmy Eat World, and a multitude of jazz artists. The huge talent in edison shines forth in their progressive anthems and melodic ballads. Most react in amazement when hearing the Edison project for the first time, wondering how these young music lovers can have such a cultivated and coaxing sound, manipulating their instruments and vocals at will and having an almost spiritual effect on the most critical of listeners. Micah Swenson is bass guitar and backup vocals. Zach Swenson is percussion and background vocals. Rino Mendoza is lead guitar, violinist, pianist and backup vocals. David Firmin is lead vocals and rhythm guitar.
CHOPPER is a three-piece rock/metal band from Atlanta, GA. George Asimakos sings and plays guitar, Colin Mee sings and plays bass, and LaMar George plays drums. They play a style influenced by classic rock and metal (e.g. Black Sabbath, Blue Oyster Cult, Led Zeppelin, Motorhead, Jimi Hendrix), as well as modern hardcore and metal (e.g. Converge, Mastodon, Entombed, Unsane).
CHOPPER has played The Drunken Unicorn (Atlanta), The Earl (Atlanta), Tasty World (Athens), The Star Bar (Atlanta) as well as many other clubs around town. George played guitar in Blame Game, who did their fair share of touring around the East Coast and Midwest, and were well-known around the Atlanta indie scene. Colin Mee was in Deerhunter, who has done several U.S. and European tours. LaMar has been in a few bands (LUST, DEVASTATOR) that have done several U.S. tours as well.
CHOPPER is ready to tour the southeast and east coast. They plan on going back out on the road now that their full length LP is out.
They have their first 7 inch record out on Die Slaughterhaus Records (the same label that put out The Black Lips' first few releases and some of The Carbonas' records). Their debut full length, Born To Ride… Or Die, has 10 songs that embodies heavy metal and keeps your head banging all the way through! With heavy riffs and lots of melody, this album will keep you listening with its raw power and explosive energy. Born To Ride… Or Die is out now on Darkwolf Records. The vinyl will come out on Die Slaughterhaus Records.
CHOPPER has been playing together for about 2 years. Their Atlanta fan base is growing quickly. Each show has a larger audience than the last. They have shared the stage with Deerhunter, The Black Lips, The Spooks (members of The Black Lips and Deerhunter), American Black Lung, Thank God, Gaye Blades (members of the Black Lips), Dsyrythmia and The Coathangers, to name a few.

The colors of K.O.A. are an unidentifiable sort. They are always ready for a challenge and a show to prove they are worthy. They bring a certain contour shaping their identified sound. With vocal patterns and ambient styles of guitar chords from Joe Cramer and Shawn Tucker playing an enchanting indie rock style on the bass and Jonah Colson's alternative/metal upbringing pushes this trio into a new spetrum, one that can be felt when just meeting the three together.
Although these three members apart have separate taste, as a unit something remarkable happens. It's just a spark that whirls all of this music out. You can feel this energy while watching. It makes up the lives, the melody, and the love; which is Keys of Apollo.
AgesApart is a rock band with influences from a wide range of musical genres. The group fuses the sounds of classic and alternative rock and roll with funk and blues in a refreshing style that is uniquely their own. With powerful melodies, distinctive harmonies, an incredible rhythm section, and an unusual blend of acoustic and electric guitars, AgesApart brings a sound to the musical stage that sets them apart from other regional acts in the southeast.
