Finished up not one, but TWO releases to close out 2017.

NUMERO UN! In October, Whoa Thunder’s synth-pop masterpiece, “The Depths Of The Deep End” hit the airwaves. Reception has been fantastic. “Depths…” ranked #7 on KDHX’s “Top Local Spins of 2017” beating out legends Son Volt and even the late, great Chuck Berry(!) From the Riverfront Times: “The six-song EP begins with a whisper but leans heavily into slashing synths and whip-smart dynamics, with McClelland’s strong and emotive vocals charging through the arrangements.”

And NUMERO DEUX! Today on a beautiful, unseasonably warm day in STL, the 2nd Finn’s Motel release of 2017, “Quinta Del Sordo” hit the streets. Folks squeezed into Schlafly Tap Room to celebrate the release. Thrilled to watch this epic album develop and finally come to fruition. It is pure indie-rock magic. Props to Joe “Finn” Thebeau and the band!

Both records are now available globally via streaming or download. I am one lucky bug to be part of such a vibrant and close-knit St. Louis arts community. Cheers to more music and good times in 2018!
