The wait is OVER. Loud & Local Volume 2 is now LIVE!
We here at The Threshold refuse to be gatekeepers: good music is good music, and the amount of raw talent out there is just mind-blowing. This new compilation features 14 artists from 10 different states and branches out across the rock spectrum. The project takes a modern approach to grassroots, street team efforts in promoting new music with postcards being distributed at events and record stores. You can scan the QR on the spot, taking you to the Loud & Local webpage where you can start streaming the playlist through Spotify and get a quick introduction to each of the bands.


The playlist starts with the alt-punk anthem “Bang My Life” by NC-based Dovecage and travels across the map from Coast to Coast, ending with the chillingly beautiful acoustic song “Better to Love” by Ohio’s The Ghostown Three. Sandwiched between them, you’ll find a mix of metalcore, punk, grunge, and just straight down the line rock & roll.
Loud & Local encourages a shift in societal mindset: support each other, grow together, and cheer for each other’s successes. We were not meant to be on this journey alone. Instead, by blending genres, crossing state lines, and mixing styles and influences, Loud & Local looks to cultivate a community of open minds with music as the underlying foundation. So support your local artists. Support your local venues. Check out the bands in small print. You may just find tomorrow’s headliners today.
