Hey everyone!
Back again this week with an Artist Spotlight feature for you guys! This week's Artist Spotlight feature focuses on Person L. For those of you who may not be familiar with the group, Person L is the side project of The Starting Line frontman Kenny Vasoli. The group formed in 2006 and consists of Brian Medlin on drums and percussion, Charles Schneider on bass, Nate Vaeth on keyboards and guitar, Ryan Zimmaro on drums and percussion, with Kenny in charge of lead vocals and guitar. The group released their debut album, Initial in August 2008. The album contained a mixture of Radiohead-esque tunes that was a huge departure from Kenny's work with The Starting Line. Some prominent tracks on that disc included "Storms", "Sunshine", and "Wooden Soldiers".
The group released their full length effort The Positives in November 2009. The album raised the bar both lyrically and sonically as the group tackled more complex rhythms that turned alot of heads this time around, even venturing into some R&B styled territory. Some highlights from the album included "The Positives", "Goodness Gracious", and "Untitled", which is the best track on the album. The group have kept a consistent touring regimen since releasing Initial, touring with such acts as Anthony Green, Good Old War, and Copeland. This summer, Person L will be opening for Taking Back Sunday on a small national tour that will be touring select stops such as New York, Philadelphia, New Jersey, Chicago, and Los Angeles. They will be playing at the House of Blues in Boston this Friday for what is sure to be a very memorable night. If you're going to the show, be sure to arrive early to catch Person L in action, trust me you do not want to miss them!
To get an idea of what their music is like, here is the video for "Goodness Gracious" which features the group performing and partying it up in a basement setting, check it out!
