Hey everyone!
Kicking off your week with a brand new edition of Artist Spotlight. This week, we're staying in the Boston area and checking in with an up and coming artist right out of Braintree, MA called Barricades. The band consists of Dan Norton on drums, Jared Walsh on lead vocals and guitar, Chris Norton on backup vocals and guitar, Justin Lutz on bass, and Matt DiVito on synth, keys, and backup vocals. The band has a simple, straightforward alt-rock vibe to them, reminiscent of Jimmy Eat World and immediately rapture the audience with their melodies that immediately strike a chord with the audience and passionate, heartfelt lyrics that gets the listeners undivided attention and make them want to pay attention to you. There are alot of bands out there that experiment with too many different genres that make their music sound convoluted and drowned out with too much electro influences or Auto Tune, but this band does a great job of not falling into that category with a simple, ear pleasing blast that doesn't feel the need to do anything too fancy or advanced and makes sure that their message is getting out loud and clear to the audience. Some of my favorite songs from these guys include "Drive Me" and "Lost".
