Who doesn't love a good party? It’s even better when that party is accompanied by good music. Mix the two together and you have what Prowler brings to the stage. Their beat driven dance music is enough to get even the tough guys bouncing. They combine the disco of the 70’s with the punk of the 80s and add a dash of some modern-day club music.

In the world of the bar scene, the cover band reigns supreme. Not since my college days have I found a group as entertaining as the boys that call themselves BoomStache. The band, with a guitarist and drummer who hail from Southampton, has drawn me out on a few occasions. Recently, I had the pleasure of chatting with them about their band and their beards.
