Does anyone have a suggestion for a reliable file uploading site? The ones I'm trying are not working at all.

Greg Sage-Straight Ahead

Greg Sage was the lead singer/guitarist for seminal punk band the Wipers. In 1985, he put out this, "Straight Ahead," his first solo album. Rather more gloomy and down-beat than his main band, the songs are often gorgeous displays of post-punk moodiness married to a singer/songwriter sensibility. For a stylistic reference point, think Mekons.

Welcome & Locals

Welcome, welcome. And so it begins. I'd like to start out with a couple of local bands I'd like to promote a little bit, Entertainment and The Feeding Fingers.

Entertainment are a very interesting band with a sound reminiscent of Bauhaus. Located in Athens, GA, the band have been a part of Drop Dead Fest and have put out a split with A Spectre Is Haunting Europe. Check them out on the web here.
Entertainment-"Patroness"

The Feeding Fingers are a three-piece from Austell, GA, featuring former Tears For The Dying bassist Todd Caras and multi-media artist Justin Curfman on guitar and vocals. Musically, they remind of early Cure, Curfman's singing and the prominent bass especially. Check them out on myspace right here.
