CUSSES are a trio from Savannah, Georgia whose latest EP explodes with power and attitude, with the track ‘Sally and Her Tassels’ being a particular highlight. Mixing elements of grunge with garage and punk rock, the song packs a mean punch of fast, grimy energy that demands to be heard.

Effortlessly holding her own against a loud and agitated guitar riff, lead singer Angel Bond’s raw vocals are truly something to behold as she belts out lyrics that beautifully capture the oft-broken mentality of youth: “We go to fight another day of battle, heartaches, heartbreaks / To find that life is fragile.”
“We are here for the moment” is another line that really stands out. Let’s hope the opposite is true; this is a band that deserves to remain for a long time. You can find them on Soundcloud, Facebook and Twitter.
