Friday Preview – Jeff Rosenstock

So I only know of him by reputation.  He’s the former leader of a punk band, Bomb The Music Industry!, and he went solo to do the punk-folk-esque thing.  That thing that I so enjoy with Frank Turner and Dave Hause, though Jeff may have a bit of a ska twist.  He’s been a mini-bucket lister for me for a while.  A couple of interesting things, perhaps….he rerecorded his last album, No Dream, as a ska album called Ska Dream, which he’s playing in its entirity at the Bottom Lounge soldout Sunday aftershow.  His record label, Quote Unquote, was the first donation-based label with all releases through a pay what you want model (Radiohead most famously did this with one album, In Rainbows).  Oh, Jeff is from Long Island.
