Why yes, that talent you hear leading the pack of Kevin Hearn and Thin Buckle is familiar...if you owned or came in contact with a radio in and beyond 1998. Hearn is the keyboardist for pop-perfect band Barenaked Ladies , and his digital seduction of the keys is arguably what gave Stunt the edge it needed for such strong Grammy notice. And in standard musical rite of passage—under-represented band member makes a name for himself solo—Hearn joins the ranks of names like Kevin Drew ( Broken Social Scene ), [...]

Last night, Philadelphia's North Star Bar saw the launch of Kevin Devine 's latest North American tour in support of the newly released Brother's Blood , the Brooklynite's fifth studio full-length. Brother's Blood marks a departure from Devine's previous sound, thanks in part to the Goddamn Band playing a major role in contributing to the songwriting process. Backed by a Goddamn Band of amazing musicians, among them opener Brian Bonz on keys, Devine showed off the Brother's Blood by playing [...]

I don't know if it is like this for everyone who covers music, but as a music journalist I tend to adopt artists. I grab onto a project and take my coverage of it to the next level. It becomes much more than two thousand words on a record I'll probably never bother listening to again. It drives me emotionally to push this artist to the success they deserve in any way possible. It's hanging fliers and posting ever piece of news possible. It becomes word of mouth and finding a way to drop their name in every interview I [...]

I willingly walked into a place called Peckerheads solely because Anni Rossi was scheduled to play. Her Afton EP captivated me and I had to see her live to make sure she was the real thing. Rossi's live performance is much less dissonant than her recorded efforts, so those of you who aren't into what you've heard, I do encourage you to check her out live. A woman of sort stature, Rossi stood on a suitcase, into which she stomped her feet in percussive [...]

Long ago Kevin Devine was just your average singer/songwriter, coasting along on the coattails of pop-punk, although it was clearly that he never really fit in musically. His early shows were intimate affairs, as witnessed by last year's performance at SXSW where the entire audience sat down to watch him intricately pick at his guitar. Still, there's plenty of passion in his voice. Kevin has a knack for writing careful lyrics combined with his innate understanding of melodies. He matches it all with his fervor and personality, as his stage banter makes [...]

In my first question, I [...]

Popwreckoning absolute favorite Kevin Devine announced a few weeks back that he was releasing a tour EP titled I Could Be With Anyone . The EP is available now and will be sold throughout the December tour with Manchester Orchestra , Dead Confederate and All Get Out . The EP's title track, that we absolutely loved the demo of as Kevin released a series of demos over the summer, is now remixed, mastered, and even better than the demo (as it's supposed to be, obviously), taking on a harder rock feel and faster [...]
