Johnnyswim

A more soulful and arena-ready version of the Civil Wars.  Top rate man/woman harmony vocals over pretty spare guitar music in some parts, then they crank up the big woahs and pounding drums for their larger sound.  Their most listened to tune on Spotify has 553k:


Here is a shot of their more quiet, melodic harmony.



Really nice background music.  Since they make me think of the Civil Wars, it makes me feel like I ought to see them, because the Civil Wars show two years ago at ACL was freaking amazing.  Not ready to make a decision yet on them.

I think every band should just be a name followed by a verb. Then we could go see:
- JIMMYDANCE
- MICHAELPOOP
- JACKJERKIT

So many great band names to choose from!
