As the story goes, Flower‘s frontman and primary songwriter Jack Fowler wrote the band’s forthcoming album Waste of Life while in the middle of a holding pattern. Although he had a rather busy year as the frontman of exwhy, with the band signing to Other People Records and touring with Pujol andKnox Hamilton, Fowler desperately wanted to focus on revealing his vulnerable side; in fact, the album is inspired largely by Fowler’s own experience of being an office drone. As Fowler explains in press notes “I was working a pretty decent office job and doing absolutely nothing beyond working and getting depressed. I was just spinning my wheels and growing bored and really depressed. I was struggling with talking to people, being social at all. That’s the core of this album—anxiety and not being sure how to define yourself. ” READ MORE…

Both seemingly opposite concepts suit the song’s mix of jovial pop and introspective lyrics. READ MORE…
Comprised of Jacob Morrell (guitarist), Mike Shaw (vocals and bass) and Mike’s brother Jack (drums), the Atlanta-based indie rock trio The Head can trace their origins to when the members of the band were in high school. “We formed in high school during our freshman year,” frontman Mike Shaw explains in press notes. “Jack and I were looking for someone to play some songs with—we met Jacob and he ended up becoming one of our best friends.” And although the members of the band are in their early 20s, the band has developed a reputation both locally and nationally for a sound that draws from early 80s post-punk, New Wave and 90s alt rock; in fact, as a result a number of legendary and beloved artists have championed the trio and taken them under their wing including Big Star‘s Jody Stephens, producer Mitch Easter, best known for his work with R.E.M. and Pavement, John Vanderslice andGuided by Voices‘ Doug Gillard.
