All The Saints

Sovus Radio

Before going on hiatus in 2009, Sovus Radio was at the forefront of Atlanta's psych-shoegaze movement alongside the likes of All the Saints, Gringo Star, the NEC, and Abby Gogo, reviving a dormant din of vibrant dirges and kaleidoscopic effects. The band's elevated take on druggy, Velvet Underground-inspired raga rock and vibrant psychedelics a la the Flaming Lips or Mercury Rev has been sorely missed, leaving a void in the garage rock and punk space occupying Atlanta's indie music scene. But in the years since near-radio silence, the quartet - which still consists of Chris Kaufmann (bass), Ty Thompson (guitar and vocals), Spencer Pope (guitar and organ), and Jay Royals (drums) - the band hopes to continue as a functioning entity and eventually release its mostly-recorded debut never died.
