Hey everyone!
Kicking off the first Artist Spotlight of the summer with a local band right out of Allston, Massachusetts called Found Audio. The band consists of John Bragg on vocals, guitar, banjo, and clarinet, Terrence Mulhern on vocals and guitar, John Stricker on vocals and bass, and Denny Kennedy on drums and synth. The band has a prominent, earthy folk rock sound very similar to that of Wilco and Fleet Foxes and are a band who really know their stuff with regard to how their music should sound. The songs have a very simple, organic blueprint with ripe, inviting acoustic guitar rhythms and deep, passionate vocals that throb with authenticity as soon as you hear it. Like I mentioned several times before here on the blog, folk music is enjoying a renaissance these days along with Mumford & Sons joining the aforementioned Wilco and Fleet Foxes as bands who are spearheading this movement. Found Audio is another band that could possibly be added to this long list of bands who are helping folk music reconnect with an audience desperate for a break from the ordinary schlock of music that has taken its grip on the music scene these days. Some of my favorite songs from these guys include "Queen of the Road" and "Minefields".
