Q&A with Tom McBride and the Whig Party
Take a listen to Tom McBride and the Whig Party and you’ll find a band that builds on a mix of country and rock with modern sensibilities. Their songs are rooted in solid instrumentation, steady rhythms and easy going choruses. This self-proclaimed five-piece rock, Americana/alt-soul band from Washington, DC, is keeping busy this summer with the release of their new album “Like A Lion” and local shows at Iota and Nats Stadium.
Q&A with Loose Lips
Loose Lips is a self proclaimed “eclectic indie rock band whose melodic sound incorporates elements of post punk, new wave, garage rock and Nintendo.” That pretty much says it all. Earlier this year they finished their debut EP “Weighing Winter,” which is available for free download! Thankfully these guys have a pretty busy show schedule so you can read their lips for yourself. Check out what guitarist/vocalist Donny Potter and guitarist/keyboardist Andrew Diego from the band have to say in their own words when faced with a few life or death questions from DoS.

Q&A with Club Scout
Club Scout is a power-pop / indie rock band pushing their way into the local DC music scene. After their line-up change in March 2009, Club Scout has been practicing and working hard to meld all of their different styles into one noisy, yet melodic, sound. We were able to catch up to these guys to ask them some questions before their show on May 11 at DC9.
Q&A with The Beanstalk Library
When District of Sound was provided with an exclusive listen to The Beanstalk Library’s newest tracks, we were grateful to hear music that could only come from a band that deeply appreciates music from eras past and has the ability to mold it into a modern and unique sound of its own. This local DC band’s premier album America at Night was a perfect mix of Americana and Folk rock and proved to be a hit with local media outlets and earned them a strong local following. All will not be disappointed after hearing what’s new from this band as each new track raises the musical bar and foreshadows their eminent success.
Below Ryan Walker (vocals, guitar, piano, organ) answers questions about The Beanstalk Library, their newest track: “Feeling My Way in the Dark”, and Debbie Gibson.
