Secret Stages: DieAlps!

Tampa’s indie rockers DieAlps! released a new album today and will play at Birmingham’s Secret Stages Music Festival Saturday. A new lineup means new style and a heavy live performance.

Coming Up: Empty Atlas

Jackson rockers Empty Atlas play The Nick on July 1. Drawing for Greek Mythology, Mississippi storytelling, and a few contemporary influences, the group will perform material from their new album, Hestia.
