This group is a new one to me and they just dropped this single October 17th on Sell The Heart Records.  The press release from Earshot Media noted that the group channels “the energy and urgency of punk rock through stripped-down, acoustic-driven arrangements.”  Well, that sounded pretty interesting so I gave it a listen and was impressed. 

It definitely has a spare and grassroots vibe right from the start; a couple quick, bare guitar chords and then a raw and edgy vocal that spells out some pretty basic life moments and experiences such as “trying to figure out what our body has left.”  That general groove stays true throughout the song which also features some dual vocal parts that feel anguished and hopeful all at the same time.  This is a good tune in the tradition of punk but with the interesting acoustic style and arrangement.  

Musicians on this are: Jeremy Quitko and Travis Johnides 

This should be out there to listen to on your favorite channels now.  

And if you have the inclination…think about purchasing it if you can as steaming music does not pay well even times a thousand.
