| So last week I attended the Gaslight show where Twopointeight and Against Me! were supporting acts. I spoke to the singer of Twopointeight (which, if you haven't, is a band you need to familiarize yourself with) at their merch table and he apparently has a sideproject/solo venture, Fredrik Georg Eriksson & The powers that be. I bought his vinyl, Volume, and as I'm listening to it now I keep catching myself thinking how similar the soundscape is to The Horrible Crowes. The gritty atmosphere, the music, the heartfelt and shrieking vocals, basically everything. http://www.fredrikgeorgeriksson.com/ There's his website, and the entire album is out on Spotify too. Do yourself a favor and check it out! | |

| Thanks for the heads up. I like this a lot better than his work with twopointeight. I thought the band was good but that the vocals were "meh" at best. His voice works a lot better in this Tom Waits-lite kind of project. | |

| Nice find! I'm listening to 'Volume' now and really liking it. I've heard of Twopointeight but never listened so I'll be checking them out next. | |

| Thank you sir!
What a great discovery, very Tom Waits-esque... And what a voice! "Love in reverse" is a killer.
Give yourself a treat and listen to this album! | |

| I looked up a live video and was really impressed how strong he was as a live vocalist. Cool hollering-type voice. | |
