From LimeWire:
The southeastern college town of Athens, GA, is an important destination for music, with a legacy that's as rich as it is deep and broad. In the late '70s and early '80s, Athens made an indelible mark on the global musical psyche by birthing groundbreaking bands like The B-52s, R.E.M., Love Tractor, and Pylon, all of whom graced the stage at the famed 40 Watt Club. Despite the success of the aforementioned acts, Athens' diverse community of indie musicians working in various genres have refused to live in the past, and thus the city's collective appetite for new music remains insatiable. It's this sort of DIY spirit that forms the bedrock of Ear to the Ground: Athens, curated by famed local weekly publication Flagpole. As sweet as a Georgia peach, ETTG: Athens features juicy offerings from bands-of-the-moment such as Dead Confederate, Of Montreal, The Whigs, and Madeline Adams. This sampler captures the essence of what's going on right now in Athens' underground, a place where bands rock out and dish out a heavy helping of southern hospitality at the same time.
