Artist Spotlight: The Susan Constant

Starting off the first unofficial week of summer with an all new edition of Artist Spotlight for you! Today, we check in with an emerging player in the Boston music scene by the name of The Susan Constant. The band consists of Paul Sennott on lead vocals and guitar, Brian Kingsbury on guitar, Emily MacPherson on bass and backing vocals, Jason Rossman on drums, and Jim Bernat on keyboards and vocals. The band has an energetic and vivacious power pop sound, mixed in with a strong indie rock sensibility that sounds like a cross between Passion Pit and The Decemberists with their own unique spin on the world as we know it. I caught these guys in concert this past Saturday at Radio in Somerville, and I've actually seen these guys previously perform in the past, but something about their most recent performance really spoke to me. It was mostly due to the high energy wavelengths emanating strongly on stage that gravitated me towards their music, and just seeing them on stage I can tell that they were having the time of their lives and seeing them being drenched in sweat afterwards, you can tell that they put alot of time and effort into their performance. A terrific and formidable band that is currently holding a strong presence in the Boston scene that will only grow with time. Some recommended tracks for you to check out from them include "Locked Up" and "Tennessee".
