The Boom Booms make music that makes you want to get up, dance, and maybe take off your shirt and/or pants. That's an good thing in our books, so a visit with at least two of its members was in order.

Brian Oblivion and Madeline Follin make music that is upbeat to the ear, but listen closer and a dark tone lines each song. Lyrics and melody colliding in a most satisfying way.

Givers take the happy feel of Louisiana music, plus a little from their own hearts, and give it to the world in a brand new package that can do nothing less than lift up your spirits high.

You'll want to keep your eyes peeled and ears alert for this new comer that just can't be anything but that next big thing in rock music. His name is Tyler Bryant.

The Ponderosas has come to existence in a very organic way. They are a grassroots band that just does what they love, so being named after a type of pine tree native to the West Coast seems quite fitting.

The maddest and the raddest of the 2011 Sasquatch! Music Festival give String a dose of the good, the bad (in a good way), and the ugly (also in a good way) of Mad Rad.
