The Avett Brothers

Who in heaven's name are the Avett Brothers, and how are they suddenly showing up on all these EOY lists? Who saw that coming?

Re: The Avett Brothers

"post civil-war modern rock"? "grungegrass"?

I don't know whether to be intrigued or turned off.

Re: The Avett Brothers

If you go back into the Stylus Magazine archives, you'll see that I'm the one who wrote the A review...

But trust me, it'll on those EOY lists for a reason...it's REALLY fuckin' music

Re: The Avett Brothers

It sounds ok to me. Not great, a little boring at times.

Re: The Avett Brothers

They do an extremely high-energy live show and you can catch them at a small venue. It's a good night of entertainment. I like the record a lot but it's definitely not something for many of the regulars here. It's twangy and a lot of the songs are about girls.

You can hear some tracks here: The Late Greats.
