Sunny War
"The Los Angeles folk-punk singer-songwriter steps into a more expansive, considered sound, blending various strains of American roots music into a quietly idiosyncratic style." —Pitchfork
"[Sunny War's] walking bass line sounds like a hammer striking piano keys in perfect meter, while the fills are dynamic flurries — like cluster bombs. I haven't heard a young guitarist this dexterous and ass-kicking in eons." —Michael Simmons, LA Weekly
Owen FitzGerald
Owen FitzGerald lives in Durham and usually writes short story songs that are brutal and funny, sort of like that scene in Fargo with the woodchipper.
