After this shenanigans, I decided to dive deeper. So it turns out, they can sing their asses off too!

Their band is made up of sisters, Rebecca and Megan Lovell, out of Atlanta Georgia. They are accompanied by Mr. Kevin McGowan on drums and Tarka Layman on bass and these cats don’t play around. Underestimate the sound this band has to offer and you’ll be put in your place, directly. These cats can jam harrrrd, conjuring sounds from every generation of rock and roll through the decades.

Fun-fact! These two ladies are related to one, Mister Edgar Allen Poe! Their great, great, great, great Grandfather was named Larkin Poe, a distant cousin of Edgar. Ok, it may be distant, but these ladies are in the loop. Given their quick-witted stanzas, I think it’s safe to say they picked up a serious edge in the music and lyrics department when it comes to their heritage.
