We have been head over heels for the debut EP Faces from Hollands! Consisting of Jannina Barefield and John-Paul Norpoth (of such acts as Akron/Family, Your 33 Black Angels), the duo produces an incredible sound that flirts with notions of southern grit and danceable riffs, while maintaining a firm grasp on fuzzy rock and roll (think Aha Shake Heartbreak-era Kings of Leon). Try your best to get songs like “Strong Arm” and “Over and Out” out of your head, and you will be left with an infectious melody that isn’t going anywhere!
Last night at the 11th annual Flagpole Music Awards, we saw some of Team Clermont’s finest walk away with awards for their amazing work and contributions to the music scene…
