Loose county was a regular touring rock band in west Michigan from 95 to 98'. They stood out from the start with their "backwoods hicks" stage look and their in your face rock sound. Originally formed in the fall of 95' , Loose county was started by Brian Arnold ( drummer) Dave Whipple (guitar) and Jake Stilson (vocals/ guitar). Brian and Dave had grown up together since Jr High and started their music journey learning their instruments from scratch together from the ages of 12 and 14 respectively. They played for a short time in a three piece band with Dave Holbrook ( lead singer of Klikred) called Iron River. Jake Stilson began as a country singer/songwriter and was asked to fill the vocal spot in Brian and Dave's "new project" in the summer of 95'.
With a handful of originals and a few covers loose county Road Commission played its first few shows in and around big Rapids area in the fall of 95'. In the beginning of november 95' Bill Schlueter was recruited to fill the bass player spot and the band was complete. From there it was full speed ahead, playing several shows a month. The band hit the studio in the spring of 96' and recorded their first album (Blind Sucker Floodin, ) which sold around 1000 copies.
Some of the more notable venues they played were The intersection, Earth day Fest 96' Small Planet in east Lansing, The Barry County expo center,The Orbit Room and Ferris State University. They were picked as finalists in the( Aris's Big Disc ) battle of the bands and featured on the contest's compilation CD in 97', LCRC's music received airplay on radio stations in Detroit, Grand Rapids, Mount Pleasant, Muskegon, Big Rapids and other large cities. LCRC played over 80 shows to thousands of peaple. Other bands of note that Loose County played with were Chris Duartay, MIlk House, The Teenage Frames, Daddy Longlegs, etc. Loose County Road Commission shortened their name in late 97 to Loose County.
The original band split up in the spring of 98' when founding member Dave Whipple moved out of state. For a short time his spot was filled by Brandon Lardie, a close friend of the band and local guitar hero. By the summer of 98' the band called it quits for good with a whole albums worth of unrecorded material. In the following years there were a few reunion shows that showed the bands following was still interested and in 05' the band reunited and returned to the studio with original guitarist Dave Whipple back in the lineup and Brandon Lardie rejoining the band on bass and guitar. Bill Schlueter declined to rejoin the band for the new record. Soon after, they released their long awaited second album (The Return Of Rock N Roll).
Jake stilson is currently Playing live in the Grand Rapids music scene and is an accomplished singer/ songwriter. He is also working on his 3rd solo album. Brian Arnold is playing regular shows with his band KLIKRED, who are about to release their first album. Brandon Lardie played with the band Cryin wolf for several years and is now forming a new group. Dave Whipple is working on his first solo album and has done studio work. Bill schlueter is married and lives in southern Michigan.
Nearly all Loose County material was written by Jake Stilson and Dave Whipple. The band has compiled a Greatest hits album that will be released sometime in 09' with favorites like "Moonchild", "Have Your Way" ,"yankee Women" "Electric Seranade"and the previously unreleased "Bucket". Any future releases of new material by the band have not been announced at this time.

Get the Counter Stike mug.A county located in the south central/south part of New Jersey. Most consider it total backwoods pine barrens, despite the fact that everything is developed like any central jersey town till you get south of Manahawkin (being if you don't go about 10 minuets west). The pinnacle of the shore, featuring both Seaside and Long Beach Island. If you are a local kid, you know that Ocean County is a beach/suburb/pineland clusterfuck. Most who reside here will probably tell you that there is nothing to fucking do. In the summer, our beaches are overrun by tourists, and by winter, everything is closed. We have the shittest mall known to man, and music venues consist of firehouses and elks lodges. Most kids just end up drunk/high at a local Applebee's or diner, followed by a trip to the outside of the movie theaters to smoke cigarettes, start fights, and trash local retail stores. All in all, Ocean County is known to everyone else as a shore resort, but to those who live here as a place where Suburbia goes to die.
In Ocean County you get all the fun of the beach, Central Jersey suburbia, and backwoods pine barrens.

Get the Counting Your Dick mug.The sport of running on all types of different terrain. Its tough but you feel good afterward. Mental and Physical strength is needed, discipline too. Injuries are pretty common. It's not as bad as it appears, actually fun. Workouts may include hills or tempos. Usually everyone on the team is really welcoming and accepting, not d-bags/bitches like the basketball, soccer, or volleyball teams. The XC guys are cute but the girls are hot. Overall, this sport is other sports' punishment.
Xc girl: Oh man, i have to miss the CIF final race because of my shin splints. I hate shin slints.
volleyball girl: How did you get shin splints?
Xc girl: Cross country
volleyball girl: Well all you're doing is just running. It shouldn't be that bad
Xc girl: You try running 8 miles a day. Running is a punishment for your sport. Yeah, just running...
volleyball girl: I stand corrected...

Get the cross country mug.York County is in between Richmond, VA and Virginia Beach, VA and is also referred to as "The County" or "YC" by those who live there. Weekend nights in the county consist of sitting at someone's house thinking of things to do or all meeting in a parking lot (usually WaWa, Wendy's, or WalMart) and trying to find something to do. If there is ever a party (that consists of more than 5 people sitting on couches), it gets busted by the YC cops who have nothing better to do. In the summers pretty much all the young people in YC can be found at the ever most popular Yorktown Beach (which is on a river). There are 4 highschools in York County: Grafton ("the rich school"), York ("the most ghetto YC school"),Tabb ("the pot head school") and Bruton (which no one knows anything about since it's pretty much in Williamsburg) The weird thing is, everyone's always bitching because they want to "get out of the county," but when they leave, they always wanna come back.
What's there to do in York County tonight?
Hey call John and tell him to meet us up at Wawa.
(5 cars sit at Wawa)
Sooo....what are we gonna do tonight?
Let's meet Dave at Walmart and then we'll figure it out...
yep...and it goes on like that till everyone's tired of bullshitting and goes home.fun times.
