The Geordie Springsteen’s debut excels at documenting small-town frustration, which is why he means so much to so many people. This album isn’t perfect, but he’s a welcome antidote to polite chaps with guitars. ‘The Borders‘ is one of the best cuts from his debut album ‘Hypersonic Missiles’
At just 20 years old, Nashville native Sophie Allison is already well-known for the raw emotion she demonstrates as Soccer Mommy.
