It’s no secret that we’re huge fans of The Smiths and Morrissey.

We’ve been singing the praises of local r&b/pop artist Jeffrey James for several years now, who commanded our attention with last year’s Walls EP, and followed it up with a sonic leap forward on his latest, Unsaid, back in the spring. Most recently, James wowed us with his debut at Forecastle Fest, and has continued to dominate the blogosphere with…
