Normally when some bros get together and knock out some barroom blues, it doesn’t register on the musical landscape. But when those bros are Justin Vernon (Bon Iver), Phil Cook (Megafaun) and Brian Moen (Peter Wolf Crier); it at least makes some ripples over in HearYa World HQ.

The UK-based trio can translate anywhere from ultra-spare (as in their live mashup of “Perth/Ready for The Floor“) to lush and [...]

Now he’s gotten together with Brain Moen (Peter Wolf Crier) and Phil Cook (Megafaun) to write some good ol’ blues rock as The Shouting Matches. Though the group’s debut record, Grownass Man, [...]
