With so many colleges on Spring Break this and next week, I chose to do something different for this week’s edition of AMG’s Ones to Watch. Here’s a round-up of local bands to add to your spring break playlist, hit the beach, and impress your friends with your impeccable music taste.
Hailing from Ashburn, Georgia, Misplaced Shoreline is an alternative/post hardcore band made up of brothers, Joel & Jess Gravitt, Lee Taylor, Craig Harper, & Bryant Wilkes. Full of lyrics that reflect the pain of what it is to have lost yourself and your goals, Misplaced Shoreline is a band that everyone can relate to.
