Outerloop Offers Edgy New Singles

By Jaci Jedrych

Post-punk, art-rock band Outerloop is bringing a new sound to the DMV music scene with their new songs “El Control” and “Seeping Mirrors.”

These are the Northern Virginia-based group’s first recorded tracks. A standout aspect is the bilingual lead vocalist Taisha Estrada, who melds the art-rock sound we know and love with her classically trained Latin voice. The combination of sweet vocals and spicy background makes the group’s music really stand out.

“El Control” is in Spanish, and the track discusses the loss of control that heartbreak and longing bring. “Seeping Mirrors” explores the feelings of redundancy and insecurity that creep into an unstable relationship, eventually consuming it. Both songs offer a sonic burn that cuts to the core.

Fans of Peter Gabriel or Yes should check out this innovative band for their unique and satisfying sound.

Foghat’s Roger Earl Refuses to Slow His Ride

By this point in his life, Foghat founding drummer Roger Earl has visited quite a few doctors. But what may be surprising is that the percussionist, 77, is quick to point out that many of the medical professionals who have worked on him also enjoy rocking out.

“Nearly all the doctors and surgeons I know, they all play something: trumpet, sax, violin, guitar,” Earl said recently. “There’s not too many drummers that are surgeons, there’s probably a good reason for that!”

Earl half-jokingly invites his surgeon-rockers to join him and the other members of Foghat onstage at the Fillmore in Silver Spring March 9, where they will be headlining the Rock and Roll for Children Foundation benefit for the Children’s Inn at NIH. Earl, the only original member of Foghat still in the band, will be banging the skins behind guitarist Bryan Bassett and other members Scott Holt and Rodney O’Quinn. “Slow Ride,” the band’s 1975 megahit, is all but assured to be on the setlist, along with tunes from Foghat’s most recent record, “Sonic Mojo.”
