Local Boone band Midnight Streetfight has released their debut EP, with standout track “Inertia.” Midnight Streetfight has consistently performed around Boone over the last year covering rock anthems by artists ranging from Paramore to Briston Maroney.
The Lumineers have released their latest full-length album titled “Automatic.” Celebrating 20 years of songwriting between bandmates Wesley Schultz and Jeremiah Fraites, this album includes the track “Sunflowers.” Reminiscent of the band’s instrumental track “Patience,” “Sunflowers” incorporates a hauntingly beautiful piano accompaniment.
