One to Watch for - Spread the Word and Sing it Loud: A Conversation with Pat Brown and Kieren Smith

Often, after you fall in love with a band, you go back and listen to their early recordings to see how far they’ve come. Most times this is an embarrassing trip down memory lane featuring screeching vocals, offbeat drums, and sloppy guitar work. With Sing It Loud, you will have no such laughs at their expense. Formed in April of 2007, Minnesota natives Sing It Loud released their self-titled EP four months later, selling over 500 copies in three weeks without any label support whatsoever. Instead of a limping foray into the pop rock world, the Sing It Loud EP is a self-assured debut that is turning heads. I sat down with guitarist/lead vocalist Pat Brown and guitarist/backup vocalist Kieren Smith to discuss the band’s growing popularity and future plans.
