Artist Spotlight: Speak In Verse

Hey everyone!

It's Tuesday and time for this week's edition of Artist Spotlight! This week, I present to you a band straight out of New Haven, Connecticut called Speak In Verse. Speak In Verse consists of Donavon Cavanaugh on lead vocals and guitar, Travis Schwartz on lead guitar and backup vocals, Thiago Gomes on drums and backup vocals, and John Bock on bass and backup vocals. Speak In Verse's intense and melodic playing style can best be described as passionate, authentic, and straight forward pop punk that is very similar to the likes of Brand New, Thrice and Taking Back Sunday. Since I first heard them a few months back, I was truly impressed with their musicianship and the way they were able to express their raw and pure emotions through music, and quickly came to the realization that these guys are on the verge of making it big in the music scene. I'm truly honored to do a feature on these guys and can only imagine what the future holds in store for them.

The band just released their debut EP titled Simple Kids! Some highlights from the disc include my personal fave, 'This Side Up" and "Don't You Know". To hear songs from the Simple Kids EP, head on over to their MySpace page at http://www.myspace.com/speakinverse If you want to become fans of theirs on Facebook, head on over to http://www.facebook.com/speakinverse
