Ampersand is one of those bands that you have to love. Four guys, friends since grade school, got together to make the music that they love. Ryan Loyko is the lead singer. Eric Williams is on guitar, Pete Nevins is on the drums and George Kent plays bass. Ampersand, named after the "and symbol" above the number 7 on your keyboard, is a band from Orange County, California. Their music could be described as alternative punk/rock. A cross between Sublime and Green Day comes to mind. The real point is that they are very good. Ampersand's music rocks hard and there are great changes in each song. Look out for this band playing live in your area. They'll put on a entertaining show. By the way, The Hen House hasn't met a better group of guys.
