Artist Spotlight: Jet Black Sunrise

Hey everyone!

Kicking off the month of November with a brand new edition of Artist Spotlight! This week, we're keeping it local in Beantown and focusing on a band called Jet Black Sunrise. The band is composed of Matt Cronin on vocals and keys, Nick Fede on vocals and guitar, Jay Schneider on vocals and bass, Matt Smith on guitar and vocals, and JC Zwisler on drums and vocals. The band is a mixture of indie-rock and alternative influences that can best be described as a offshoot of Death Cab For Cutie, but with a stronger emphasis on electric guitars and vocal presence. I recently had the pleasure of checking out the band this past Friday at McGann's in Boston and they really left a impression on me with their amazing set which was a mixture of Death Cab covers and some of their own tracks which gave a great representation of what the band's sound is like for those who may not be too familiar with the band. An awesome band and one that is starting to make their presence known throughout the Boston area music scene. Some songs of theirs for you to check out include "Falling" (the title track from their latest album) and "Impossible".
