GROUND CONTROL USA

About Me

Ground Control USA does not give a flying fuck about what you think. Soaring high above the mundane genre classifications that inhibit underground music today, these cornfed midwestern dudes rock n' roll because that's what they were born to do. Make sure to catch Ground Control brutalizing your dad's favorite pentatonic licks at a venue near you. And remember, you don't have to be a hippie to jam. MyGen Profile Generator

Maximum Mini Tour

The tour was great. Toledo has some quality bands, but has no soul. One band brokedown 'Outshined' by Soundgarden, which I won't ever forget. But one quote can sum up that night. "Let go of my friend...
