LOVE, just like mom’s grown-up juice, gets better with age, and we’re crushing on Cusses just as hard as we were five (OMG!!!) years ago when they played their first show EVER. Yeah, they’ve been rocking the whole free world ever since, but these down-to-earth cuties love to call SAV home sweet home!

To celebrate, we got up close and personal with the rock trio about their favorite things. Plus, Savannah rock n’ roll photographer Jon Waits scored some super-hot, never-before-seen pics for fans, including a sizzlin’ tear-out poster in our print edition!

Get down with the Cusses love IRL on Friday at The Jinx, right where they rocked out for their first audience! Make sure to scope out the swoonworthy openers Wet Socks and Crazy Bag Lady, too!

1. Music: making, playing, or listening to it

2. Nature: a hike in the mountains or a swim at the beach

3. Making dinner for friends & family

4. Bonfires, fire pits, fire places…either one as long as I can help build it and sit close to it.

5. Oysters on the half shell

5 QUESTIONS FOR BRYAN HARDER

Cats or dogs? Cats, definitely. They are lower-maintenance house trophies. Dogs do taste better, though…

Most embarrassing moment: My whole childhood was heavily seasoned with embarrassment, so I can only narrow it down to 1981-1990.

Favorite snack: I like food, food tastes good! I like food, food tastes good!

Batman or Superman? The correct answer is Batman. Superman isn’t even real. You could ask Robin and Lois what they think—I saw them getting it on at Deja-Groove the other night.

Superpower you’d want to have: I don’t want a superpower. I just want to be able to retain information like a normal person. My short term memory is terrible…wait, what was the question?

Sweet or salty? Both. Take one away, and we would never have Peanut M&M’S.

5 QUESTIONS FOR BRIAN LACKEY

Tacos or pizza? WE CAN DOUBLE DATE. LET’S HIT THE TACOS AFTER A SLICE.

Biggest pet peeve: LISTENING TO BANDS WITH PLAYBACK, it is a karaoke nightmare.

Favorite snack: LOBSTER ROLLS

Taylor Swift or Beyonce: AALIYAH

Perfect date: TAHITI WITH MY LADY
