With a sound that infiltrates modern hard rock stylings with the textures of layered strings and harmonies Los Angeles band Hurt are far from being this year’s drop-d darlings. Singer J. Loren, drummer Evan Johns, bassist Josh Ansley and guitarist Paul Spatola are a driven band willing to take the path less traveled if need be to get their music to the ears of the public. Hot meals and solid ground be damned: Hurt is on a mission…a Mission that brings the band to the Red Lion Pub on February 2nd with Stereoside and Hot Lava Monster.
With band members scattered on opposite ends of the state and a sound that defies simple explanation, progressive rock band The Radar Cinema are hardly your typical area club band. Featuring drummer Eric Parton (ex-Daze of Haze & The Company), bassist Nick Laws (ex-The Sixth Hour & Autorock), guitarist Will Duckworth and vocalist Mikel Hutchings, this quartet’s mix of experience, ingenuity and heavy work ethic make them one of the bands to watch in 2008.
It’s no big surprise that St. Patty’s Day is one of the biggest party celebration days of the year even on par, if not more widespread, with Mardi gras.

With a colorful blend of art and rock the Augusta band simply known as “S” have painted a rock and roll picture on the area music scene that is part fun, part introspective and all rock.

As part of celebrating Mother’s Day Lokal Loudness has decided to talk to some “Mommy Rockers” on the Augusta Music scene. Despite a busy schedule with running a business and household Tara Scheyer, onetime frontwomen of Snapdragon and the Half Shirt Leroys, took the time to answer a few questions.
She has been praised by the likes of Big Al Beasley and American Skin’s Bryan Panowich. Her songs are sometimes felt in the most gutteral of places. She’s the furthest thing from an Augusta pop diva. Allison Foster is a rock chick through and through. Just ask any of the guys.
From the moment I met Josh Pierce, I have been fortunate to consider myself one of the singer-songwriter’s closest admirers. Whether first attracted to Pierce’s infectious personality or initially to his catchy songs, one cannot help but to appreciate the total package known simply as, “the Incomparable Soul”. LL – So Josh, you left Augusta [...]
So maybe you hadn’t heard of singer Dana Andrews before her national appearance on Rockstar: Supernova. Perhaps when you saw the dark haired beauty on TV belting out ass-kicking rock & roll you were surprised to see the words “Augusta, Georgia” beneath her name. And maybe, just maybe you figured the young lady on TV just appeared out of nowhere, the recipient of some lucky break. Well guess again.
