(Admittedly this isn&#8217; weird, as I&#8217;m a Golden Bomber fan &#8211; their drummer is frequently almost naked – the only difference is that his thong is black, or he chooses to wear tighty whities.) A guitarist wearing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[TweetI&#8217;ve seen a few acts at the Rookie A Go-Go stage this weekend, and tonight I&#8217;ll be seeing a few more. &#8220;Rookie&#8221; though, seems a bit of a misnomer. The quality of the acts has been really high and, in some cases, I think much better than the &#8220;proper&#8221; performers on the bigger stages.

Their style is, according to themselves, &#8220;reggae punk (street punk/hard core/screamo meets ska/reggae)&#8221;. According [...]]]></description>

They have all the elements of the perfect indies band: The smiling, shy drummer. The girl on bass with a bowler hat. The super enthusiastic guitarist. And then&#8230;. there&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

For the last few weeks, I’ve been doing a lot of digging. I’ve looked into bands I’m pretty familiar with as well as bands I didn’t know so well&#8230; and bands that were off my radar completely.
Often, admittedly, the latter category includes genres and styles that I’m not [...]]]></description>
