Out of sunny South Padre Island, TX are Los Loco Locals who possess a sound that is a fine blend of dub reggae, surf rock, and punk. Their upbeat, in-your-face stage presence and wide range of sound are capable of setting the mood for anything from the drink you order after work to the bar fight that ensues a couple of hours later. After forming in the fall of 2008 they began to entertain, and occasionally terrorize, audiences throughout the [...]

It was early 2003 in Ocean Beach, a beach community in San Diego, CA. Mike and James were working at a local surf/skate shop. The days working in the shop consisted of blasting old punk rock and selling the commercial bullshit dream. One day a friend, drummer and skater Toby rolled in to the shop and said he was going to start a punk band of the early 80’s hardcore vein. Mike, who sang before in a band on the [...]
Hailing from suburban Oceanside, CA, The Bombpops have proven to be one of Southern California’s hardest working bands.

Fronted by two girls ripping on guitars and vocals and backed by dudes holding down a strong rhythm section, The Bombpops offer a fresh, honest, in your face delivery of catchy melodic pop punk songs. Formed in early [...]
A “revenant” is defined as one who returns after a lengthy absence or death. Although we haven’t emerged from the grave just yet, most of us certainly have experienced a stretch of nonexistence that has led us to a point of resurrection to our true selves. Each tale is distinctly unique to its individual and therein lies the similarity. Whether our lack be caused by the mourning of a close friend, a jaded past, a dismantled dream, shattered hopes, or [...]
The Beat Dolls are an upbeat rock’n’roll band with punk rock influences. By adding a second vocalist for harmonies, Munsey is able to mix her love of rock’n’roll with 1940s female singing groups. The Beat Dolls, including former guitar player and song writer for SAC (turned bass player and songwriter for The Beat Dolls) Ramon, met many roadblocks with an ever changing lineup. Consequently the band played very few shows, which left the founding members feeling frustrated and hopeless and [...]

So [...]

The chemistry was undeniable, and Ransom Jack (although unnamed at the time) was born. The four friends began meeting a couple times a week by trading off who would commute between San Antonio and San Marcos, which went on until March of 2008. The following month, Ryan had to quit the band due to his busy [...]
