Stray Fossa Drops, “For What Was”

by The Alchemist

Stray Fossa is a dream pop and indie rock band that is currently based in Charlottesville, VA. The band is comprised of brothers Nick and Will Evans, and Zach Blount. They gained a lot of their inspiration from their parents’ record collection, and first started performing in their hometown of Sewanee, Tennessee. After a six-year hiatus, their creative process has reemerged in the face of opposing artistic tastes yet shared obsession to make more sound than one would expect from a three-piece. They now go about their entire creative process in the attic of the band’s Charlottesville house.

Their newest track is titled, “For What Was” and it is one of our favorites we’ve heard in a while. It has some psychedelic rock feels, while it also has catchy pop-esque lyrics that easily get stuck in your head. The music of Stray Fossa is a combination of ominous guitar melodies and keys, that are complemented with a feeling of calming vocals that make you feel as if everything going wrong in the world will be alright. If you are a fan of Tame Impala, Stay Woozy, or D.C. band The Infinite Daisy Chains, then you should be sure to check out this track.

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.”
