* Autographed by Mike Mantione, Bill Berry, Dave Domizi, Christian Lopez, Geoff Melkonian – Limited * Join Bad Ends on the Rock n Roll channel on Talkshoplive to talk about their new album, The Power and the Glory. Athens, GA occupies a curious corner of American history. Living up to the nickname of “The Classic City,” it harbors all kinds of heritage, dating back to 1801 (with enough of its own Southern Gothic flavor to fill a William Faulkner novel). At the same time, it remains a breeding ground for all things alternative, serving as home to the B-52’s, Widespread Panic, Neutral Milk Hotel, and R.E.M., to name a few. In this respect, the genesis of The Bad Ends may have been predestined all along. The lineup— Mike Mantione, Bill Berry, Dave Domizi, Geoff Melkonian, and Christian Lopez - owes as much to the local scene as it does to the everyday community orming through musical encounters as well as simple run-ins on the streets.
