Artist Spotlight: Nemes

Kicking off another week of Artist Spotlight for the masses! Today, we take a look at a Boston based indie quartet going by the name of Nemes. The band consists of Dave Anthony on guitar and lead vocals, Josh Knowles on violin and backup vocals, Chris Anthony on drums, and Alex Glover on bass. The band's sound is an upbeat, frenetic blend of indie-rock similar to The Lumineers and Fleet Foxes with an organic musical mixture on tap that is a breath of fresh air and offers up something different from the other like minded acts currently popping up in the scene today. I got the opportunity to catch these guys in concert the other night at The Middle East Upstairs and I was completely enthused with their stage presence as they eloquently displayed their style and substance to a more than enthusiastic crowd, and I especially enjoyed Josh's talents on violin that is really the most identifiable characteristic of the group and sets off a domino effect that allows each band member to feed off of each other and transmit the energy out to the audience. A truly unique and gifted musical outlet that needs to be seen in person to be believed. Some standout tracks from the gentlemen include "Everest Isle" and "Blues".
