205 + 256 = ?
The simplest answer to that question is, of course, 461. But when I asked Ronnie Moore, his answer was “Winparty!” Okay, so math isn’t really his bag, but he has a valid point; as manager of the Church of the Performing Arts–known colloquially to the Huntsville/Decatur/Madison area (thus 256) as “the Church”, he [...]
Torche Bringing Happy Metal To Bottletree
Torche is an anomaly. Though the band formed in the underground drone and doom metal scene, they have forged their own unique and interesting path ever since. Many of their contemporaries choose to concentrate on the dark and depressing sides of existence – you know the drill: death, destruction and despair. Listen to just one Torche [...]
Local music videos on TV. ‘Magine that!
This week, the final episode of FINAL BROADCAST (lolz), for this season anyway, is airing on the Brighthouse Channel and is gonna feature LOADS of local musicians and their videos.
We sat down with friend and incredibly talented animation artist, Brian Ratigan, to get the scoop.

A Day in the life of a City Stages intern…
My friend Zack works for City Stages. I figured it was a good a time as any to find out what it’s like to work in the music business and (theoretically) get paid!
Being an Intern for City Stages, as told by Zackery Moore
Landing an internship that hooked-me up working on projects for City Stages was [...]
BHAM.FM Interview with Isis, plus their Alabama connection is revealed
I hate to break it to you Birmingham, but Isis is not a metal band. Sure, metal fans around the world love them, they get tons of coverage in the metal media and they have shared stages with some of metal’s biggest bands. But, Isis’ sound is so unique, experimental and atmospheric; I don’t see [...]
Birmingham’s major part in RECORD STORE DAY
Since today is Record Store Day all over this great land, we decided to hand the mic over to someone with a very big hand in the nationwide effort, our friend (and Teen Getaway frontman) Jim Fahy.
Birmingham is lucky enough to be home base for two music industry (quite literally) heavy hitters, Scott Register & James Fahy. [...]
A@#$ C%^&* – Thank God you’re not easily offended!
A@#$ C%^& really needs no introduction, but I’ll be a dumbass and write one anyway. Since 1988, the band has blasted out super short grind songs and stretched the First Amendment to its absolute breaking point. Got a cause or political stance you feel strongly about? I’ll go ahead and let you know: AxCx probably [...]
self-promotion time (but isn’t it always?)
As Casey the Web Guy would say, “You’re one of the good ones; I’ve read about you in the papers”.
Hopefully I’m a good one. I was featured in both the March and April issues of Birmingham Magazine, talkin’ bout ‘the music’.
Also, good friend and fellow music blogger Carla Jean says the March issue [...]
