BEST UNDER-21 BAND

Our Lady

No doubt about it, the under-21, all-ages scene is at a high in Springfield and readers voted Our Lady easily into the winning chair for best band of this exciting part of our music scene. They put themselves into the emo/hardcore (an indie-rock sub-genre) category of music and describe the band as a “touring band of sad puppy dogs from Springfield, Ill.” With Molli on cello, Tim on vocals and guitar, Kyle on drums and Matt on the bass, this forlorn foursome makes some absolutely distinctive music and takes it on the road as a full-time, full on, fully believing in musical adventure, traveling band. They are heading out for a West Coast tour in November and just returned from a trip through the Midwest this summer. Other favs in the under-21 crowd include Lovecow, Zack Fedor, RDNT, and Pet Cock.
