Xchange: Tough Stuff

Tough Stuff are a pop-punk band from Orange County, CA, who have caught my attention at a few recent shows. These guys deliver a great performance packed full of energy that drives their fans wild. If you get a chance to see them be prepared for a truly fun and enjoyable show.




Favourite track: New Glasses

Xchange: Struckout

Struckout are a Long Beach band making a lot of noise with their punk essence.

I caught them performing live at a CSULB Underground Music Society show in September and have been listening to their album I'd Hate Me Too (2013). 


While not perfect and a little rough around the edges, there's some interesting progressive tones in there and a wide variety between the tracks. They're giving it their all, especially in the enticing bass lines and exasperated vocals, and the potential for something bigger shines through.
