Augusta Rocks Presents: Estimated Principles

We continue our local music spotlight series with the youngest band to date to be on the show: Estimated Principles. They started, not by learning covers, but by writing their own music. And now, after some local shows and some shows in Atlanta, they’ve released their first album.
