Taylor Locke & The Roughs
Marathon
Los Angeles is full of show-off musicians and now Taylor Locke & The Roughs can be added to the list, but in this case, it’s in the most humbling way. Releasing two full-length albums this year, which serve as history lessons for rock ‘n’ roll, the band is proving that it can churn out fun, relatable rock songs with competence and ease. Taylor Locke & the Roughs is comprised of four well-known LA musicians, Locke also plays in Rooney, guitarist Chris Price in the band Price, bassist Charlotte Froom previously played in The Like, and drummer Mikey McCormack is a member of Everybody Else. The sophomore release, “Marathon,” opens with a 6-minute medley of mini-songs where the band showcases all of its influences, from '60s pop harmonies to fast garage rock and gritty Southern twang. Locke and his crew have nothing to hide. They like music that is raw and vintage, sing about girls and write fun sing-along choruses that reflect it.
