By Blake Aued | May 15, 2014 11:29am

10th District congressional candidate and Henry Rollins lookalike Jody Hice has positioned himself as Rep. Paul Broun's successor, calling himself a "constitutionalist," adopting Broun's four-way test and frequently waving around a small copy of the Constitution at campaign stops.

One of Hice's six Republican opponents, Stephen Simpson, called him on it during an Atlanta Press Club debate on Sunday.

The unabashed Weezer fanatics that make up local power-pop band The Warm Fuzzies craft hook-heavy tunes that are, well, pretty true to the group's name. So it should come as no surprise that the video for "Oregon," a track from the Fuzzies' brand new album, Extinction, is pretty dang warm and fuzzy.

See for yourself after the jump.

Homedrone: On the Rise: Watch a New Video from Mothers

By Gabe Vodicka | April 22, 2014 4:03pm

Over the past several months, singer-songwriter Kristine Leschper—a.k.a. Mothers—has firmly established herself as one of Athens music's most essential new acts. Armed with only her formidable voice and one stringed instrument or another, Leschper crafts spare, striking folk tunes that often call to mind Angel Olsen at her most quietly devastating.

After the jump, check out a video of Leschper performing a new tune, "Get Around." The mandolin-powered song, like most of Mothers' output, bobs and weaves before ultimately landing with a crushing emotional left hook. "Tell me when you've had enough," she sings, more dare than reassurance.

Homedrone: Flagpole Premieres! Shehehe: 'Ghost Of' Video

By Gabe Vodicka | April 17, 2014 11:37am

Local power-punk outfit Shehehe has undergone a lineup shift since its debut, New American Jet Rock, was released in 2012. The additions of guitarist Adam Hebert and bassist Derek Wiggs have proven powerful ones: The band has only grown tighter and more furious in its rock and roll mission, and it plans to enter the studio soon to record the follow-up to the aforementioned album, which mixed low-budget arena-aping sensibilities with proto-punk passion.

Today, we've got an exclusive look at the new video for "Ghost Of," a New American Jet Rocktrack centered lyrically on ghouls and goblins and everything in between. Appropriately, the clip offers a B-movie-esque take on the song's sordid subject matter.

Watch the video after the jump.
