I dunno if anyone else listens to this one-man band from Philly, but I do. I've only heard his "Commander!" EP the full way through, but I've been listening to some of his new songs from his new album "Gift Horse" which I am really anticipating. The full stream is up on Alternative Press's website (don't let AP turn you off on him) but I'm gonna wait till I get a d/l to give it a proper listen.

Basically the music sounds like Mastodon/Baroness with synth and more of a punk influence.

Funny, not only is he from my city, but he's from my neighborhood. We probably go to the same bars. I've never heard of the dude though. May have to check him out.

Not surprising you haven't heard of him, he only found his big break in April of this year when he signed to Relapse. Needless to say, the full-length is a lot more ambitious than what he was putting out before.

It's kind of surprising to me that I haven't heard of him. I usually have at least a passing knowledge of the bands in my neighborhood. It's not that big.

I suppose, he has been going for quite a while.

I do listen to this one-man band
