May not be your cup of tea, but wanted to share with you a local band from San Diego who’s recently had some success with their second album release “Can’t Love, Can’t Hurt”.
Can’t Love, Can’t Hurt is 10 studiously-chosen cuts of modern, melodic, piano-driven rock, informed by Layus’s love of classic pop/rock songwriters—from The Beatles to Tom Petty—and covering deeper subject matter than the band’s debut. “Still Ain’t Over You” is a love song in the context of a committed relationship, while “Dust,” with its a capella introduction, is the sound of Layus attempting to make peace with his religious upbringing. “Meet You There Someday” was inspired by Layus’s young daughter and his frequent need to leave her behind in order to tour.
The Band:
* Dan Layus: [Vocals, Piano, Guitar]
* Jared Palomar: [Bass, Vocals]
* Chris Sachtleben: [Guitar, Mandolin]
* Justin South: [Drums]
* John Vincent: [Keyboard, Vocals]
