Artist Spotlight: Mean Creek

Today's edition of Artist Spotlight comes to us from the local Boston band Mean Creek! The group consists of Chris Keene on lead vocals and guitar, Aurore Ounjian on lead guitar and vocals, Erik Wormwood on bass, and Mikey Holland on drums and percussion. The group has a downtempo, organic indie rock component to them that is completely original and evokes the band's homegrown roots as well, similar to how The Pixies first started in the Beantown scene. The members of the group have a strong friendship which is evident in the group's musicianship that they exhibit both on record and on stage, showing that all of the members are on the same page musically which enables them to move higher up on the pedestal along with the other Boston area bands. A great local act that is definitely deserving of further exposure from beyond the area. Some recommended tracks for you to have a listen at include "Sunlight" and "I'm So Afraid".
