Git Some – Loose Control review
Git Some’s sophomore effort, Loose Control, is a refreshingly raw piece of punk rock. The 13-track album, released on San Francisco-based Alternative Tentacles Records, is lean, efficient and brutish – kind of like a street fight on record.
Lead singer Lucas Fairchild is a commanding vocalist, and on tracks like “Fit to [...]

Oakhurst, Thursday, July 15, Hodi’s, $5
By Pat Hartman, Maggie Canty, Lindsay Nichols & Molly McCowan

This combination has brought them a lot of popularity all over the state and beyond. [...]

Baily Stauffer, best known for her songs about heartache and loss, has produced another EP: Bend or Break. Now known as Baily Stauffer and the Katy Janes, the band maintains a unique mixture of blues, folk and rock, all rolled into one fluid entity.
