If you haven’t, you should be. With his Simon and Garfunkal aesthetics, Rocky Votolato’s third solo album, Makers(released January 26th), is laced with stories of despondency and fleeting redemption. The Makers album is a warm follow-up to his previous record Suicide Medicine. With songs like White Daisy Passing, Votolato’s harmonizing voice and magical lyrics make this album a great listen. Votolato gets his influences from bands like Fugazi and his brother Cody (founding member of the Blood Brothers). Rocky is now touring the US and the tour dates, as well as other information, can be found here.
