FREQUENCY ATL presents THE BACKLINE —

Behind every local show is a network of bookers, promoters, venues, and artists working to keep independent music alive. In our first installment of THE BACKLINE, Ashthrone Booking founder Ana Wagner discusses the realities of booking shows, supporting touring bands, and navigating Atlanta's evolving music ecosystem.

Itension’s music lives at the intersection of grief, community, and emotional release. In this feature, the Atlanta-area band discusses the loss that shaped their songwriting, the DIY ethos behind CRC Fest, and how their blend of grunge, shoegaze, metal, and alternative rock has become a vehicle for connection both on and off the stage.
