If social media clout is a thing, and if it matters, then who cares what singer Matt Carroll has to say?
When the band releases their self-titled album at The Waiting Room this Saturday, will people talk over Carroll’s reticent vocals?
Will Omaha music columnists (I’m looking at you, Tim/Kevin) report to their readers that a new frontman should be added to the conversation?
It’s unlikely that video of one song will convince a music scene to fully validate the emergence of a peer songwriter.
Nevertheless, in Love Drunk‘s 120th session, Carroll nonchalantly leads See Through Dresses past “You Get Sick Again,” allowing his peers to determine whether his is a voice that should be heard.
What do you think?
Note: This session was recorded at Almost Music/Solid Jackson Books in Omaha’s Benson neighborhood. The stores intend to host in-store performances, poetry readings and more. And Almost Music owner Brad Smith wants to buy your record collection.
