Artist Spotlight: The Deep North

Kicking off your Tuesday with an all new edition of Artist Spotlight. Today, we stay in the Boston area and come across the dynamic sounds of The Deep North. The band consists of Rebecca Frank on lead vocals, Nick Twohig on guitar and vocals, Brad Couture on keys, Dan Nakhoul on bass, and Nick Angelo on drums. The band has a simple, straightforward, introspective indie rock sound similar to the likes of Jack's Mannequin and The Rocket Summer with a piano guided instrumentation setting the basis for most of their tracks and offers up something that is inviting and makes you want to continue listening to the band. I was impressed with the band's mission to keep things simple and write songs within their own comfort zone which shows off their simplicity and allows them to stand out from amongst the pack of the other local New England based indie acts currently out there today. An excellent act that you should catch in concert the next time they roll through town. Some recommended tracks for you to have a listen at include "Wake Up" and "Slow Down, Stay Willing".
