“I wasn’t really raised on the music that all of my peers were raised on, like classic rock,” Underkofler said. Despite being arguably one of the better singers to emerge from the mod-rock scene in the last five years, that avenue wasn’t always what he planned on at Berklee, as a guitar major, who recalled Bob Dylan and Frank Sinatra as his earliest musical experiences. Every song, whether it was from a place of personal experience or imagined situation, is filled with undeniable conviction, passion and wisdom beyond vocalist/guitarist Jack Underkofler’s 20-something years. That’s not to say some songs aren’t as believable. Instead of putting the Ivy League hypothesis’ and techniques to work writing formulaic songs, Underkofler, with guitarist Jack Collins, bassist Dylan Brenner and drummer Will Goodroad, wrote from reality but also from what they imagined for their debut album -!-, (pronounced The Exclamation Album), due out March 12.
