Artist Spotlight: Breakfast of Champions

Hey everyone!

Tuesday has arrived and it's time to check out this week's edition of Artist Spotlight! This week, we're focusing on a local area Boston act named Breakfast of Champions. The band consists of Isaac Shiman on guitars and lead vocals, Will Solomon on keys and vocals, Aidan Boardman on guitar and vocals, Sam Thurston on horns, Bill Whitney on bass and horns, and Francis Quinn on drums. The band has a unique and dynamic indie/experimental sound that can't be compared to any artist out there and is entirely a creation all of their own. The band adds horns and combines them with keyboards to create a truly indelible sound that is really something to behold. Usually, with up and coming artists it's really easy for me to compare these artists with some of their contemporaries already established in the scene, but for these guys I can't do that, they have stumbled upon a sound that is so truly original and unique that you can't even accurately compare it to anything else out there in the music world today. I also love how everyone contributes equally to the dynamic of the songs so that no one person gets more attention than the other person, it really is a true band effort here that showcases their personalities both as people and as musicians. Their songs "Reservoir" and "Outta This Place" are all that exemplifies this group's repertoire.
