Polly & Crackers is a legit brand of slightly inappropriate shirts based on the Eastern shore of NC, who mixes random and blunt humor with high quality, fitted shirts. 

Striving not to be “just another tee company”, P&C aims to be more of a CULTURE by regularly donating profits to charities that deal with world hunger, environmental sustainability, and education for independent thinking.

I really dig that these guys are a green company that takes pride in social responsibility. 

Support the cause and buy a shirt HERE!!!!!!

Canadian rock-band Big City Supreme have 3 solid songs posted to their Reverbnation site, my favorite of which is Gone For Good. Riff-heavy driven instrumentals with catchy and poppy vocals overlayed, Gone For Good sounds like a great mixture of old Red Hot Chili Peppers and Canadian-rock-band Sum 41. 

As an original rock band based out of Edmonton, Alberta, (Canada), Big City Supreme played their first show only eight days after forming, and continued to rock the Edmonton area for the following year.

Indeed, here at Whisker-a-nogo, we are expecting great things from this group of driven musicians in the months to come. Good high-energy rock is hard to come by these days, and it seems these guys have tapped into a very catchy and hard-to-resist energetic frequency that, hopefully, will continue to grow into a North American tour.

Gone For Days” is a four piece rock band that you simply cannot mistake for anyone else. The unique sounding vocals and hooks of front man Chris Taylor, aggressive guitar playing of Jesse Hatch and the solid backbone of bass and backup vocals from Chris Dickman set you up for the last but certainly not least element, Justin Pacy on the drums.

Their newest single “Guilty Pleasure” was just (deservingly!) added to SiriusXM’s Octane Radio. [Check it out on iTunes by clicking HERE.]

The New-England based rock group originated in 2010 after lead vocalist Chris Taylor had left his current band Vegas Temper. His vision was to pursue a different songwriting direction that was more personal to him as a writer.  (Read the full bio HERE)

I’ve already been on the phone with my friends on the east coast, helping these guys spread the word.

Here’s my interview with Chris Taylor, vocalist for Gone For Days!

Briefly introduce yourself, and the band.

I’m Chris Taylor, vocalist/songwriter for Gone For Days.  Jesse Hatch plays guitar and writes as well.  Christopher Dickman plays the bass, and Justin Pacy plays the drums. Jesse and I met through mutual management and had done some long distance writing when he lived in Nashville with Dickman. Songs sounded good enough for him to uproot and move to New England to form the band. Dickman uprooted shortly thereafter, and then Justin, my old band mate came aboard. 

In no particular order, list your top ten inspirations, even if they’re not musical.

The band is comprised of 4 VERY different individuals, but my personal songwriting inspirations range from stupid

25-year old, Calgary-based multi-instrumental artist Kyley Styles has a story to tell.  

Upon reading his bio, I came to learn that he is no amateur to the music business and he’s been playing in bands since he was a kid.  We got a good taste of his sense of humor via this quote we found on his Facebook page

“I didn’t work a year on these tracks for nothing. They explain who I was at many different points in my life. These songs have grown from nothing before my very eyes. If you don’t like them, Well… I don’t like you! I’m just kidding. Buy my album please?”
