Hailing from Columbus, OH, singer-songwriter Micah Schnabel is one of the most powerfully poignant voices in rock ‘n’ roll today. Since 2009, he has released five full-length albums, one live album, and two EPs, including 2024’s brilliant The Clown Watches the Clock. Timestamps:

Hailing from New York City, The Heartdrops played full-tilt, catchy as all-get-out, greaser punk rock. Sadly, the band’s run was short (about five years producing a handful of 7-inch EPs and two full-length albums) and now all but forgotten, which is a crime.
