"I recently discovered the music of Kinsey Matthews, a song writer that plays under the name of Us and Us Only. I’m pretty positive he used to play guitar for Another Reason to Hate Machines, a hardcore band from MD. He writes very honest and simple acoustic songs that seem to center around a bad breakup. Aside from being really catchy, I think the simple production on the songs makes me really enjoy them. It sounds like he set up a single microphone in his bedroom, played each song a few times, and kept the best performances. More artists should follow this approach. I want to hear stools squeaking and fingers dragging across the strings."
All of these albums are available for free at shows, but you can download them here sans the cool packaging, artwork, etc.
Thank you either way!
