If The Milk Carton Kids band name misleads you into thinking they are some sort of Green Day knock off, don’t worry. The band (actually a duo) play acoustic guitars and sing such great harmony vocals you’ll want to compare them to some of the great duo’s of the past. The only contemporary group that they remind me of is Red House artist Storyhill.
If I haven’t convinces you yet to give this a listen then the best recommendation I can possibly think of is that Joe Henry wrote the liner notes for the new record Prologue. The band, in true indie diy fashion, record and release their records themselves and give them away on their website. They have a national following and tour heavily as a result.
Catch `em in Chicago on Sept. 11 at Schubas with Tom Brousseau.
