Atlanta concert picks under $10: February 17-23 (Photos)

This week it's all about loud, and all the A-listers are out this week. Order of the Owl, Demonaut, Brain, All For Nothing, The Biters- too many to list. So go take out your post-valentine's day rage, and as always, do it on the cheap. If that's not your thing, don't worry, there are plenty of other great shows going on. Friday head over to the Masquerade for an all-girl line up in Purgatory featuring Abby Wren and Prisca. Or, head over to the Basement for a night of Alabama-meets-Georgia hip-hop. There are two free shows this week, Ian Campbell and the Recruits have an EP release, and, for our Athens folks, there's a battle of the bands at 40 Watt. Take a look at your full line up for the week:
