Coscino

With the presence of the new Internet age well at hand and a way to connect with fans like never before, bands are allowed to be who they truly are. If you want to be a Speed Metal Polka band that plays nothing but covers of Aja songs...well there is probably a small group of fans out there that are into what you are playing. What this has led to is a million little sub-genres of music and bands that answer the question of, "What kind of music do you play?" with "Oh, well we are a post-punk, screamo, grind, thrashcore band, with a nu metal kind of thing happenin."

My question is, "Where are the ROCK bands?" Just Rock, only Rock, and nothing but the Rock! In an age of flavored everything, I want black coffee, a plain donut, a regular cigarette, and a REAL ROCK BAND!!!

That's where Coscino comes in. A collection of guys who have lived, breathed, eaten, and poo'ed Rock since they were old enough to hold a guitar pick or drumsticks. Cut them and nothing comes out...cause it's just Rock in there!

Well, I've ranted enough, but if you're like me and you're missing the days of "That Old Timey Rock and Roll" come on out to the Howlin Wolf Northshore and catch a band that has been waving the Rock flag in Louisiana for decades.

The show is on Saturday, October 3rd. The show will open with 3rd Echo, another local crew who is bringing Rock back to the forefront.

You can buy tickets to the show here.
