Artist Spotlight: Gentlemen Hall

Proud to start off the week with another all new edition of Artist Spotlight. Today, we keep it local with a burgeoning synth-rock band emanating right from the Boston suburbs by the name of Gentlemen Hall. The band consists of Gavin Merlot on lead vocals and guitar, Cobi Mike on vocals and lead guitar, Ro Richard on bass, Bradford Alderman on synthesizers, Phil Boucher on drums, and Seth Hachen on flute. The band has a dreamy, synth heavy new wave mixture that hearkens back to the mid 80's new wave era, but manages to incorporate elements from their more modern contemporaries such as fellow Bostonians Passion Pit and Imagine Dragons with a strong melodic output that is omnipresent throughout all their music and guarantees that you will have a great time listening to them. I've heard of the band by name only, but never got the opportunity to check them out until recently, and they have an unbelievable musical presence that encapsulates everything there is to love about the Boston music scene and the depth of talent constantly leaking out of the area. A great upstart act that is only getting better as time rolls along. Some recommended tracks for you to have a listen at include "All Our Love" and "Tame the Beast".
