Artist Spotlight: Follow Your Hero

Hey everyone!

Hope everyone is having an awesome summer! We have a hot edition of Artist Spotlight ready for you this week, and today we have a local band direct from Beantown that we gladly present to you called Follow Your Hero! The group is comprised of Kevin Garcia on lead vocals, Jack Mason on guitar and backup vocals, Ben Wilterdink on bass, and Adam Kirschner on drums. The band has a youthful, vivacious pop punk feel to them, reminiscent of such prominent pop-punk acts like Blink 182 and New Found Glory, but put their own unique spin on it with layered guitar riffs put on top of Kevin's powerful vocals that show off the band's dynamic musicianship. With a whole slew of pop-punk bands dominating the scene these days and all of them catering to different age demographics, these guys have a strong sense of what their listening audience wants, and it shows that they try their hardest to make sure that the songs are loud, crisp, and gets straight to the point. With song titles like "Watch Your Hands Kid" and "Chicks Dig Scars, Glory Lasts Forever", you know these guys don't mess around and are a band not to be ignored anytime soon.
