Cusses is a three piece band from Savannah, Georgia. Brian Lackey/drums, Bryan Harder/guitar and Bond/vocals make up this fiery and vigorous threesome. Known for their energetic, upbeat and surprising stage shows have only been performing as a band for a little over three years. “Our first show was February 13 2010. However the guys had been practicing a bit before that.” Lackey and Harder ironically the drummer knew each other and played together years ago in college. “Brian and I moved from LA to Savannah and they started playing again for old time sake and they asked me to join the band as the singer. I didn’t really want to at first because the drummer is my boyfriend and I was like no way,” she says laughing. They were messing around for a few months and I decided to sing with them one day after they kept asking me. Within about 30 minutes we had written eight or ten songs and I knew then we had something special. The chemistry worked really well, however the two of them alone have an amazing chemistry. It really brought out a different side of me and I jumped in. As for our name, the guys wanted a name a bit tongue and cheek and the fact we’re in the South we wanted something that no one else had. Something that people would assume that it was about this but it really wasn’t. We were just joking around with the name and laughing about it and said let’s see if it sticks and it did. It’s kind of a play on words and that’s what we wanted to do. It’s kind of a rock n roll name and no one else had it, so that’s basically how we arrived at Cusses.
