Interview w/ Inner City Express
Formed in August 2005 as a three-piece group Harrison Georgia band Inner City Express over the years has morphed into a solid rock quartet featuring Amber Carter (Lead Vocals), Brad Garner (Rhythm/Lead Guitar),Stan Garner (Bass Guitar) and Vince Tanner (Drums/Vocals). Lokal Loudness spoke to Tanner prior to the band making its Augusta debut.
Interview w/ Tara Scheyer
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.
Interview w/ Allison Foster
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.
Interview w/ Josh Pierce
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 for [...]
Interview w/ Dana Andrews
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. Dana Andrews may be young but she is no rookie to the world of music. And if you think she fell into that top-rated reality show, well…wrong again…
Interview w/ Youth@Risk
Youth@Risk is a band that has been around for quite some time. Some remember the antics of the guys, but others, like me, have only heard of them. Today I got a chance to finally hear Youth@Risk for myself for the first time in a reunion show that they played at Big City Music. I have to say, despite the technical difficulties, including a spontaneously combusting speaker, I was really impressed with the music. After their set I got a chance to sit down with Chuck Merritt, Larry Sprowls, Justin Smith and Jonathan Cook, aka Goo, and talk with them about this reunion and the much awaited final goodbye show that is yet to be scheduled.
Interview w/ American Skin
Take different branches from the Augusta music family tree. Crossbreed ‘em and plant ‘em in a whole new plot of soil, water with beer and sooth with the sounds of in your face rock and roll and whadaya got? Well in this here case, AMERICAN SKIN, a brash new Augusta band made outta some of the best bits and pieces of Augusta’s musical past. Before heading off for their debut gig february 2nd at the Soul Bar, I tracked down bassist/founder Chris Livingston and got the skinny on AMERICAN SKIN!
Interview w/ Music Hates You
Augusta has experienced it’s share of hard-hitting in your face bands. Whether within or visiting, Augusta’s metal traditions are long and widely varied. With such a long standing tradition one has to wonder what it takes to impress a crowd that has seemingly seen it all. Then along comes a band that makes you realize, “maybe there’s more to it then I thought”. Such a band is Athen’s bonecrushers MUSIC HATES YOU. Even the name sounds more brutal than the average bitch slapping band name. Despite the “aura of darkness” I spoke to the guys, and even had a little fun!
Interview w/ The Sixth Hour
One part power, one part melody, six parts heavy work ethnic, the members of THE SIXTH HOUR are living proof that while every little kog in the machine is important, it takes all parts working together to make the machine achieve maximum performance. All this teamwork will culminate in the release of the bands debut [...]
MEET THE PRESS with Andy Stokes & Steven Uhles
Lokal music press in Augusta. Most can remember when coverage was sporatic and of course some of the better runs at area coverage. Many even remember some of the writers. The legendary Don Rhodes, Donnie Fetter, Ed Turner, Rhonda Jones, heck even Homegrown creator Lori Locklier had the occasional weekly in the Spirit for a [...]
